Technical Session II: Future Missions 1
Abstract
This work shows the structure of a Cubesat-like nanosatellite carrying an apparatus whose aim is the detection of fractional charges ( free quarks )on ordinary matter . This search will be at first in an object inside satellite and later in primary cosmic rays supposing that such charges can be absorbed by object . The apparatus realizes not only a space experiment of fundamental physics but also a tool to teach “ real science “ because it can be operated also by students ( including high school students ) In this paper several aspect of mission are analyzed with considerations about orbital parameters , dimensions and power consumption of components , software , lying signals and other . Finally aspects related to put into orbit satellite are considered too
