The objectives of the project are:
-
keep overview and control over satellite bus and payload interfaces
-
Establish framework for satellite budget updates
-
Update satellite budgets (power, data, thermal, mass)
-
Visualize satellite (IDM model)
-
Optional: implement payload interaction interfaces (Astra-LEO trigger line)
We are building a CubeSat that shall be launched end of 2027. Our CubeSat will host multiple payloads that in some cases shall interact. This thesis could be about keeping an overview of all the interfaces, update typical budgets as the subsystems are under development (or implement last-minute changes), and visualize the satellite in different operation scenarios. To do so, different tools can be evaluated for suitability.
This can be a short (30 credit) thesis.
Another direction could be the implementation of payload-interaction routines on system level, such as implementation of a trigger from one payload (SEP detector) to chance settings in another payload (Camera).
