Technical Poster Session 3

Location

Utah State University, Logan, UT

Abstract

The main objective of InnoCube is to show the feasibility of the following three novel systems:

  • EPISODE: SDR-GNSS for CubeSats (antenna, FPGA, SKITH pcb & software)
  • SKITH: wireless satellite bus & protocol
  • WALL#E: battery as supporting structure

Innocube consists of 7 different computing nodes which are connected by our novel wireless satellite bus. As having that many nodes presents a challenge in case of an in-orbit software update, we explored various methods for compression and data reduction in order to minimize the time required for software uploads.
