Abstract:
The goal of this project is to develop and test flight a 1U CubeSat prototype that consist of solar panels, an Electrical Power System (EPS), a Command and Data Handling system, an Attitude determination and control system (ADCS), and a camera payload. To keep the payload aimed at a certain reference frame, an attitude control system will maintain stabilization using a Proportional-Integral-Derivative PID control scheme. Ultimately, the technologies demonstrated by TIGRE SAT will make up the spacecraft bus for the SWIM (Space Weather Ion Measurement) CubeSat, designed to investigate the effects of space weather on the ionosphere. The team currently consists of more than 15 undergraduate students from many disciplines across the university including computer science, mechanical, computer and electrical engineering. |
