Pre-Conference Poster Session I

Location

Utah State University, Logan, UT

Abstract

This paper presents the design, integration and testing of a pico satellite, Delfi-PQ, a 3P PocketQube developed by Delft University of Technology, expected to be launched at the end of 2020. The main goal of this project is creating a miniaturized platform for future space missions with performances comparable to CubeSats, taking advantage of the miniaturization of electronic components and their integration. Education of aerospace engineering students is a second key goal of the project, where students involved in the project as part of their curricular activities.
