CubeSat is a satellite platform that is widely used not only for earth observation but also for space exploration. CubeSat is also used in magnetic field investigation missions to observe space physics phenomena with various shape configurations of magnetometer instrument unit. In case of magnetic field measurement, the magnetometer instrument should be far away from the satellite body to minimize the magnetic disturbances from satellites. But the accommodation setting of the magnetometer instrument is limited due to the volume constraint of small satellites like a CubeSat. In this paper, we investigated that the magnetic field interference generated by the cube satellite was analyzed how much it can affect the reliability of magnetic field measurement. For this analysis, we used a reaction wheel and Torque rods which have relatively high-power consumption as major noise sources. The magnetic dipole moment of these parts was derived by the data sheet of the manufacturer. We have been confirmed that the effect of the residual moment of the magnetic torque located in the middle of the 3U cube satellite can reach 36,000 nT from the outermost end of the body of the CubeSat in a space without an external magnetic field. In the case of accurate magnetic field measurements of less than 1 nT, we found that the magnetometer should be at least 0.6 m away from the CubeSat body. We expect that this analysis method will be an important role of a magnetic cleanliness analysis when designing a CubeSat to carry out a magnetic field measurement.

A spatial data warehouse has spatial data cube composed of multi-dimensional data for efficient OLAP(On-Line Analytical Processing) operations. A spatial data cube supporting concept hierarchies holds huge amount of data so that many researches have studied a incremental update method for minimum modification of a spatial data cube. The Cube, however, compressed by eliminating prefix and suffix redundancy has coalescing paths that cause update inconsistencies for some updates can affect the aggregate value of coalesced cell that has no relationship with the update. In this paper, we propose incremental batch update method of a spatial data cube. The proposed method uses duplicated nodes and extended node structure to avoid update inconsistencies. If any collision is detected during update procedure, the shared node is duplicated and the duplicate is updated. As a result, compressed spatial data cube that includes concept hierarchies can be updated incrementally with no inconsistency. In performance evaluation, we show the proposed method is more efficient than other naive update methods.

Due to the recent data explosion, methods which can meet the requirement of large data analysis has been studying. This paper proposes MRIterativeBUC algorithm which enables efficient computation of large data cube by distributed parallel processing with MapReduce framework. MRIterativeBUC algorithm is developed for efficient iterative operation of the BUC method with MapReduce, and overcomes the limitations about the storage size and processing ability caused by large data cube computation. It employs the idea from the iceberg cube which computes only the interesting aspect of analysts and the distributed parallel process of cube computation by partitioning and sorting. Thus, it reduces data emission so that it can reduce network overload, processing amount on each node, and eventually the cube computation cost. The bottom-up cube computation and iterative algorithm using MapReduce, proposed in this paper, can be expanded in various way, and will make full use of many applications.

An aggregation query computes aggregate information over a data cube in the query range specified by a user Existing methods based on the prefix-sum approach use an additional cube called the prefix-sum cube(PC), to store the cumulative sums of data, causing a high space overhead. This space overhead not only leads to extra costs for storage devices, but also causes additional propagations of updates and longer access time on physical devices. In this paper, we propose a new prefix-sum cube called 'SPEC' which drastically reduces the space of the PC in a large data warehouse. The SPEC decreases the update propagation caused by the dependency between values in cells of the PC. We develop an effective algorithm which finds dense sub-cubes from a large data cube. We perform an extensive experiment with respect to various dimensions of the data cube and query sizes, and examine the effectiveness and performance ot our proposed method. Experimental results show that the SPEC significantly reduces the space of the PC while maintaining a reasonable query performance.

MOLAP is a technology that accelerates multidimensional data analysis by storing data in a multidimensional array and accessing them using their position information. Depending on a mapping scheme of a multidimensional array onto disk, the sliced of MOLAP operations such as slice and dice varies significantly. [1] proposed a MOLAP cube storage scheme that divides a cube into small chunks with equal side length, compresses sparse chunks, and stores the chunks in row-major order of their chunk indexes. This type of cube storage scheme gives a fair chance to all dimensions of the input data. Here, we developed a variant of their cube storage scheme by placing chunks in a different order. Our scheme accelerates slice and dice operations by aligning chunks to physical disk block boundaries and clustering neighboring chunks. Z-indexing is used for chunk clustering. The efficiency of the proposed scheme is evaluated through experiments. We showed that the proposed scheme is efficient for 3~5 dimensional cubes that are frequently used to analyze business data.

The increasing interest in CubeSat platforms ant their capability of enlarging the frontier of possible missions impose technology improvements. Miniaturized electrical propulsion (EP) systems enable new mission for multi-unit CubeSats (6U+). While electric propulsion systems have achieved important level of knowledge at equipment level, the investigation of the mutual impact between EP system and CubeSat technology at system level can provide a decisive improvement for both the technologies. The interaction between CubeSat and EP system should be assessed in terms of electromagnetic emissions (both radiated and conducted), thermal gradients, high electrical power management, surface chemical deposition, and quick and reliable data exchanges. This paper shows how a versatile CubeSat Test Platform (CTP), together with standardized procedures and specialized facilities enable the acquisition fundamental and unprecedented information. Measurements can be taken both by specific ground support equipment placed inside the vacuum facility and by dedicated sensors and subsystems installed on the CTP, providing a completely new set of data never obtained before. CTP is constituted of a 6U primary structure hosting the EP system, representative CubeSat avionics and batteries. For the first test campaign, CTP hosts the ambipolar plasma propulsion system, called Regulus and developed by T4I. After the integration and the functional test in laboratory environment, CTP + Regulus performed a Test campaign in relevant environment in the vacuum chamber at CISAS, University of Padua. This paper is focused on the test campaign description and the main results achieved at different power levels for different duration of the firings.

The sum-of-product type MVL (Multiple-valued logic) functions can be directly transformed into the exclusive-sum-of-literal-product(ESOLP) type MVL functions with a substitution of the OR operator with the exclusive-OR(XOR) operator. This paper presents an algorithm that can reduce the number of minterms for the purpose of minimizing the hardware size and the complexity of the circuit in the realization of ESOLP-type MVL functions. In Boolean algebra, the joinable true minterms can form the cube, and if some cubes form a cube-chain with adjacent cubes by the insertion of false cubes(or, false minterms), then the created cube-chain can become a large cube which includes previous cubes. As a result of the cube grouping, the number of minterms can be reduced artificially. Since ESOLP-type MVL functions take the MIN/XOR structure, a XOR circuit and a four-valued MIN/XOR dynamic-CMOS PLA circuit is designed for the realization of the minimized functions, and PSPICE simulation results have been also presented for the validation of the proposed algorithm.
