Command and Data Handling Subsystem Design for the Ionospheric Observation Nanosatellite Formation (ION-F)

چکیده
This paper describes the approach taken by the ION-F student team in designing a common Command and Data Handling (C&DH) subsystem for three different nanosatellites. It outlines the requirements of the satellites and reasons behind the decision to develop a custom board. The design is based upon industrial-grade components and centered on a Hitachi SuperH RISC Processor. The C&DH subsystem contains a 16 MB telemetry buffer, a digital and analog interface subsystem, and a DMA-oriented CMOS camera framebuffer. Students are fabricating these boards with the assistance of Space Dynamics Laboratory at Utah State University. This design will be flown by three different satellites, which are all part of a single formation-flying mission.

Attitude Determination for Small Satellites with Modest Pointing Constraints
This monograph reports on the development of the attitude determination backbone of the Ionospheric Observation Nanosatellite Formation (ION-F). Three spacecraft with similarly modest pointing constraints comprise the ION-F constellation. Pointing requirements for the constellation are dictated by the formation flying mission objective and communication demands. To satisfy pointing requirements...

The satellite industry is undergoing a transition toward " smallsat " engineering. Small satellites are becoming more attractive to customers as a method of decreasing cost. As the launch costs remain relatively constant, the industry is turning towards nano–technology, such as microelectromechanical systems, and distributed satellite systems to perform the same missions that once required supe...

The formation of a designer's personality and the acquisition of design skills are dependent on specific components and variables, such as observation and sampling, analysis and handling of samples, direct involvement and impregnation with the design problem. Architectural critique and analysis of the works of the past and successful and unsuccessful examples have always played a key role in ar...
