Abstract: A method for receiving an ADS-B message is disclosed including a synchronisation phase for detecting the start of the message and a decoding phase for recovering a bit stream corresponding to a block of data in the message. The synchronisation phase is based on determining a sequence of log-likelihood ratios having the greatest likelihood of corresponding to a sequence of symbols expected from a preamble of the message. Each log-likelihood ratio corresponds to a ratio between the respective probabilities that a symbol of the signal received corresponds to one of two possible values for a symbol. The decoding phase applies a belief propagation algorithm to a sequence of log-likelihood ratios respectively associated with the symbols in the block of data in the message, with an optimised parity matrix of the cyclic redundancy code of the message.

Abstract: A system and a method for assisting with troubleshooting a complex system is disclosed in which the troubleshooting procedure can be modeled by a Markov decision process. Combining the fault tree technique with a Markov decision process, in order to determine in an optimal manner the sequence of troubleshooting actions will quickly address the consequences of a failure and ensure maintainability of the complex system.

Abstract: A spacecraft is disclosed having at least three flat side walls, at least one main communication antenna, including a radiating element having a central axis of radiation (AC-AC), a movable arm configured to move between a deployed position and a folded position, a reflector suitable for reflecting or receiving radiofrequency waves in a direction of emission (DE). The radiating element is fixed to a side wall so that the central axis of radiation (AC-AC) is arranged perpendicularly to the side wall, and the movable arm is shaped so that an offset angle (β) of between 25° and 65° is formed between the side wall and the direction of emission (DE), when the movable arm is in a deployed position.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for gauging the liquid propellant tank of a spacecraft during a phase of high-thrust along an axis, the tank being thermally conductive and having a known geometry. The method includes steps of: attaching, on a wall of the tank, a heating member and at least one temperature sensor in proximity to the heating member and in a plane of interest perpendicular to the thrust axis; during the high-thrust phase, heating the wall of the tank and acquiring temperature measurements of the wall of the tank at rapid frequency; determining the instant I when the temperature measured by the sensor changes, such change indicating the presence of the liquid-gas interface in the tank in the plane of interest; and determining the volume of liquid propellant present in the tank at instant I.

Abstract: A computer implemented method for detecting a set of relevant communities of accounts, the accounts being connected by at least one communication platform, includes collecting data from a stream of messages circulating on at least one communication platform; extracting interaction data and shared objects, the shared objects being shared among the accounts; processing each collected message in order to obtain content metadata; processing collected data in order to obtain an account profile of each account; from collected data building shared objects graphs and interaction graphs; building a resulting graph; applying a community detection method to the resulting graph to obtain a set of communities of accounts; computing quality indicators of the set of communities to obtain at least one score for each community the score enabling the selection of at least a relevant community.

Abstract: A spectrophotometric device is disclosed having a plurality of spectral measurement bands including a single telescope and a single spectrophotometer. The plurality of spectral bands is obtained by placing pupillary separating prisms at an entrance pupil of the telescope, and by using spectral band selection filters. Such a device has a lower weight, smaller dimensions, and a lower price. In particular, it may be integrated into a satellite, in particular for a mission to characterize flows of carbon compounds that are produced on the Earth's surface.
