h1=. PROJECT SPUTNIK STRIKES BACK

p=. _*A Cubesat Project*_

Welcome {{>toc}}

_Welcome to the Wiki of the first Cubesat Project realized at "Telecom Bretagne":http://www.telecom-bretagne.eu ’s 's SatCom lab, at Campus Toulouse. lab._

Here, a feasibility study for a Cubesat-type mission is presented, setting a starting point for future projects h2. Introduction

In 2003, the first [[wikipedia>CubeSat|Cubesats]] were launched to be made at space. By 2014, more than two hundred of these satellites have been put in orbit, and the lab in this domain. number continues to grow.

Using But what are these "CubeSats", so popular nowadays?

In 1999, the navigation bar at California Polytechnic State University and Stanford University, developped the left of CubeSat standard to help universities and educational institutions worldwide access to space exploration and research activities. Designed to be compatible with the webpage, the different topics covered Poly-Picosatellite Orbital Deployer (P-POD), their size is measured in this study can be accessed. First, the objectives unit size (1U = 10 cm x 10 cm x 10 cm) and they are usually placed in low orbits, making it possible to use commercial-off-the-shelf electronics. It is because of the project are explained, together with a brief description latter, that their cost is considerable lower than other types of the Cubesat concept satellites, and amateur radio (planned payload). Next, a full description affordable to educational institutions. A wide variety of ready-to-use CubeSat kits are available on the mission design and specification, containing all market, saving the constraints effort of building its own hardware and requirements for each allowing to quickly experiment with this kind of platform.

The development, meeting all h2. About the specified requirements, is presented afterwards. Wiki

In this section, subjects like Wiki, you will find a description of the hardware choice, project, its goals, the software development, the power equipment involved, development log and thermal management and radio link budget are covered.

Finally, tests covering all critical parts access to resources.
The different pages of the mission are proposed. Wiki can be accessed via the menu on the right.
