This paper demonstrates the use of xPC Target system to simulate the space environment for testing and verifying the control system algorithms of a nano satellite. Setup includes a Host and a Target system connected via an appropriately selected communication link. Target system is connected to a data acquisition card through PCI bus. In this paper, a satellite system with magnetic actuation using...
This paper demonstrates an improved methodology that can be adopted to build fault tolerant small satellites. In the proposed architecture the onboard computing is split between a dual controller system which involves two controllers placed on separate PCB's. A communication bus exists between these PCB's which helps in periodically monitoring the health status of the other board. Two antennae are...
Parikshit is Manipal University's first 2U class Nano satellite mission. The command and data-handling department is developing the computer architecture for the satellite missions that have multifaceted requirements. The satellite is carrying a thermal camera as the payload for obtaining thermal images of the Indian subcontinent. With the space being a dynamic environment, it is required from an...
CubeSats are standardized artificial nano satellites which weigh between 1 and 15kg and serve the purpose of space research. A handful of cubesats have proved their worth to the world with their payloads based on terrestrial monitoring. The so-called remote sensing cubesats have revolutionized the platform for different scientific observations that include weather forecast, cyclone warning systems,...
