Description

Increase in radiation resistance of electronic systems. Ensure sufficient electricity to power picosatellite. Increasing the transmission capacity for the transmission of data from experimental picosatellites. Experiments:

  • robust onboard computer with two processors, two data bus, two power bus, reliable bus drivers and disconnectors, hardware watch dog, firmware upgrade on orbit capabilities.
  • usage of super-capacitors in power supply.
  • highly sectorized architecture of solar panels.
  • autonomous rough location determination based on FM-RDS receivers.
  • rough attitude determination system based on simple UV, Vis and IR detectors - modulation adaptation on channel properties.
