Applications and implications

Some question and answers about my final project.

What will it do? It will be 1 part of cubesat containing a powering system,sensors and a transceiver sending and receiving information and another part of receiver(groundstation)

Who did it before? Professor Nakasuka from Tokyo University.

what materials and components will be required? For the cubesat kit I'll use the MDF,and the PCB's to make arduinos and the rest of sensors will be electronic modules.

Where will they come from? Many of the materials are available in the Lab.

How much will it cost? The cost isn't high since all the materials are available at the local market and some are here in the fablab

What parts and system will be made? Except electronics modules, The structure is made by MDF cut by the laser cutter, and the arduinos will be designed and milled by the Roland here in fablab.

Procedures to be used? There is no extra process for making any part or component or anything. I have to cut my external structure in Laser Cutter,then connect the solar panels to the battery,then connect it to the electronic circuit containing sensors.

what tasks need to be completed? Designing the arduino part that will be connecting all sensors

what solutions does it bring?

what is the schedule? I have already designed the outer structure in corel draw I am designing te Atmega328 arduino that will connect all the sensors and the nrf24l01 communication As soon as the electronic design is done I'll assemble and test if the designed cubesat can communicate with the groundsation

how will it be evaluated?

Flow of work for the final project:

  • Defining functionality
  • Find Cost effective materials
  • Start with outer structure design
  • Fabrication of the parts
  • Assembling of Fabricated parts
  • Adding electronics circuitry
  • Programming the circuit to behave as i want
  • Testing
  • Documentation
