Session
Technical Poster Session 2: Command & Data Handling
Location
Utah State University, Logan, UT
Abstract
The goal for of this project is for students to design and build CubeSat prototypes using commercial-off the-shelf (COTS) components and 3D printing techniques. The CubeSat uses a raspberry Pi as the command and data handling center (CDH). The project includes three phases. The first phase is to develop a FlatSat, test components on a flat surface. The second phase is CubeSat developments which includes the design of structures and assembly. The third phase is data collection and analysis. The GPS module, onboard IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit), Camera module and inferred camera module were tested. The experience simulates interacting with a CubeSat for preliminary assembly, integration, & testing (Al&T). Due to its low cost and replicability, this project serves as a model for other students interested in CubeSat design and hardware.
