Orion Space: Cubeek
Introduction to Cubesat
A CubeSat is a class of miniaturized satellite with a form factor of 10 cm cubes. CubeSats have a mass of no more than 2 kg (4.4 lb) per unit,[2] and often use commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components for their electronics and structure. CubeSats are put into orbit by deployers on the International Space Station, or launched as secondary payloads on a launch vehicle.
What is it?
It is a 1 Unit Cubesat kit for students which is powered by arduino. It consists of EPS, OBC, COM and Payload. The structure is made of 3D Printed PLA and clear acrylic.
Subsystems
EPS: Its function is the boost the voltage from the solar panel to charge a single cell Li-ion battery. It also monitors the current and voltage that charges the battery.
OBC: It is powered by Arduino Pro mini and also consists of built in programmer. It also consists of Real Time Clock.
Communication: It consists of LoRa based communication module that communicates via LoRa modulation.
Payload: The payload consists of basic sensors like accelerometer, gyroscope, temperature sensor and pressure sensor and GPS sensor.
Structure: The structure is based on 1U Cubesat and consists of 3d printed parts printed with PLA material and 2mm clear acrylic.
