Picpot: a Nanosatellite from Turin Polytechnic
نویسندگان
چکیده
In 2004 the Turin Polytechnic started the PiCPoT project that led to the development of a nanosatellite. PiCPoT had been completely built by students of several engineering departments. The main constraint of this project was its cost, so every system was built using Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) components and radiationhardened by design. Since most components use C-MOS technology particular attention had been focused on creating an anti latch-up system that monitors the supply current of all ICs. The main goals of this satellite are the transmission of on-board telemetry measures (solar panel and battery temperature, voltage and current) and photos taken with commercial cameras.

Our intention is to present Q. Majorana (1871–1957) further documents, experimental manuscripts and results on the hypothetical physical effect of gravitational absorption. Majorana carried out his experiments thanks to two main apparata, the first at the Polytechnic of Turin (1918-1919; 1919-1921), the second at the Institute of Physics of Bologna University (1922-1924). A comparison of the re...
