Abstract: The disclosure relates to an LDPC decoding method which involves performing iterations until a stop criterion is satisfied. Each iteration involves computing variable messages (αn,m), computing parity check messages (βm,n), and computing a posteriori estimation variables. Computing a parity check message (βm,n) for a parity check node (CNm) involves determining the two smallest values (Min1, Min2) among the absolute values of the variable messages associated with the parity check node (CNm), comparing a difference between said values with a threshold, determining a correction value according to the result of the comparison, and computing the parity check message according to the correction value.

Abstract: A process for the acquisition, by a spacecraft in terrestrial orbit, of a useful image of a space object in terrestrial orbit that is gradually approaching the spacecraft from an upstream distal region towards a proximal region is disclosed including controlling the orientation of an array-type detection sensor in order to orient it towards the space object located in the upstream distal region, acquiring, via the array-type detection sensor, a so-called detection image of the space object located in the upstream distal region, determining trajectory-tracking information on the basis of the detection image, controlling the orientation of an array-type acquisition sensor on the basis of trajectory-tracking information, in order to orient it towards the space object located in the proximal region, acquiring, via the array-type acquisition sensor, a useful image of the space object located in the proximal region.

Abstract: A satellite platform is disclosed having a plurality of radiating elements configured to receive and/or transmit electromagnetic radiation and including at least one transmitter radiating element, and at least one block of material that absorbs electromagnetic radiation in a frequency band of interest in order to decrease electromagnetic coupling between the radiating elements. The block of material is implemented in at least one region of interest in the satellite platform to decrease electromagnetic coupling, the region of interest intersecting at least one predominant coupling path between at least two of the radiating elements.

Abstract: An electronic spatial system is disclosed including an electronic circuit that is sensitive to spatial radiation, including at least one signal input port and/or at least one signal output port; a signal processing unit; an electronic spatial radiation detection unit electrically connected to the signal processing unit; and at least one protective switch electrically connected between the electrical ground of the electronic spatial system and at least one out of the signal input or signal output ports of the sensitive electronic circuit, and controlled by the signal processing unit. The signal processing unit being configured to switch the at least one protective switch to the electrical ground upon detecting an amplitude of a signal that is representative of an amount of spatial radiation greater than a predefined radiation threshold.

Abstract: A transmitter device of a bi-static or multi-static radar system is disclosed and implemented for aerial surveillance. The transmitter device is intended to be on board a satellite orbiting the Earth. Once in orbit, the transmitter device is configured to obtain information relating to a region of interest monitored by at least one receiver device of the radar system, and to transmit a signal in a radio beam illuminating at least one portion of the region of interest.

Abstract: A device for deploying and pointing an equipment item is disclosed including a mobile platform for receiving the equipment item, a carrier integrally secured to a wall of a spacecraft, and three identical linear actuators which connect the carrier to the mobile platform and are suitable for moving the platform in translation along one axis and for orienting the platform in rotation about two axes. Each linear actuator including a first portion connected to the platform by a universal joint, a second portion connected to the carrier by a pivot connection, a motor, and a screw/nut joint interconnecting the two portions, each universal joint being suitable for preventing the screw/nut joint from rotating about the axis, such that driving the motor causes a translational movement between the first and the second portion.

Abstract: A method and a receiver device for detecting the start of a frame of a satellite communication signal. A shaping filtering is applied directly after sampling of the signal, before a frequency correction is applied. During a first phase, an approximate frequency error and a candidate first sample for the start of the frame are estimated by performing several correlations respectively associated with different frequency hypotheses. The samples obtained after sampling or after shaping filtering are buffered during the execution of the first phase. Then, during a second phase, a final candidate sample for the start of the frame is determined from the memorised samples, using the approximate frequency error and the candidate first sample estimated during the first phase.
