Session
Poster Session 2
Location
Salt Palace Convention Center, Salt Lake City, UT
Abstract
Motivation
CubeSat constellations and swarms require spacecraft that can tolerate subsystem faults without relying exclusively on a single centralized flight computer. Distributing sensing, control, and fault-management authority can improve containment and enable graceful degradation.
Objective
Develop and experimentally evaluate a distributed CubeSat avionics architecture in which subsystem nodes retain local fault-management authority while an F´-based OBC provides mission-level coordination.
The FlatSat is used as a representative spacecraft-level building block for future constellation and swarm architectures.
