Direct Fusion Drive Technical AnimationPrinceton Satellite Systems2018-07-05 | Meet the Direct Fusion Drive, a unique propulsion system and power plant rolled into one for deep space missions! A NIAC grant from NASA has allowed us to bring you this video describing how this fusion propulsion system works.Software tools highlights from Princeton Satellite SystemsPrinceton Satellite Systems2025-01-15 | Clips from software analysis tools by @PrincetonSatelliteSystemsPlusPFRC-2 1.8 MHz RMF pulsesPrinceton Satellite Systems2023-02-01 | Pulses in PFRC-2 experiment with "big bright flashes" using different gases: hydrogen, helium, and argon. Data taken in November and December, 2022 at PPPL with the RMF system operating at 1.8 MHz. The flashes are light from brief, dense plasmas formed when high power radio-frequency waves (RMF) are applied to a cool tenuous seed plasma.GAMOW Fusion Summit 2022Princeton Satellite Systems2022-05-20 | Project video created for the ARPA-E 2022 Summit for "Wide Band Gap Semiconductor Amplifiers for Plasma Heating and Control." Featuring our team members United SiC (now Qorvo), NREL, and Princeton University.Simulation of Optical Navigation from the Earth to the MoonPrinceton Satellite Systems2020-05-19 | This displays the view from the navigation camera. The navigation camera registers the fixed stars, and can be set to measure position via either the centroid and chord length of the Earth or Moon, or the horizon of the Earth or Moon. The blue line shows the simulated horizon of the moon and the red dot is the moon's center.ONSToMoonPrinceton Satellite Systems2020-04-24 | Shows the navigation and star camera views from a spacecraft on its way to the moon. The navigation camera remains focused on the moon. You see the stars move as the angle changes.ISSNanoMovie3Princeton Satellite Systems2020-04-01 | We start the nano satellite 50 m below ISS and simulate for 4 orbits. There are no disturbances.Princeton FRC Compact Fusion ReactorPrinceton Satellite Systems2019-11-20 | Terrestrial applications of the PFRC fusion microreactor. Experiments are ongoing to establish proof-of-concept ion heating in the PFRC-2 experiment at Princeton Plasma Physics Lab. Supported by ARPA-E grant DE-AR0001099Direct Fusion Drive: the faster path to interplanetary travelPrinceton Satellite Systems2019-02-01 | Meet the team behind Direct Fusion Drive, and learn about how this new propulsion and power technology might help NASA reinvent how deep space missions are done!CubeSatPrinceton Satellite Systems2016-04-28 | This movie shows a reorientation maneuver using reaction wheels. The CubeSat is in a polar orbit. Several of the pages in the simulation display are shown during the movie. This CubeSat has eight body mounted high-efficiency solar panels and the power output is shown on the power page. It has three orthogonal reaction wheels and single skew wheel. All four are used during the maneuver.PSS Toolbox Tutorials: viewing CAD modelsPrinceton Satellite Systems2015-09-02 | This video is about viewing CAD models in the toolbox.PSS Toolbox Tutorial: BuildAgileSatPrinceton Satellite Systems2015-09-01 | Tutorial of a very detailed CAD model of an agile satellite.PSS MATLAB Toolbox Tutorials: TPIDSat DemoPrinceton Satellite Systems2013-08-21 | In this video we step through the PSS TPIDSat demo which displays the effect of integrator windup in a PID Controller and how to fix it.
