20210209 - Mi beca de la ESA de 2021

Adjunto el contenido de la beca de la ESA que estoy haciendo en 2021:


ESAC supervisor(s): Xavier Dupac, Julio Gallegos, Fernando Martin

For the past 4 years, we have developed several Cubesat subsystems: telecommunications, structure, AOCS, power system and the on-board computer and data handling. It is time to integrate all of them for further testing. Your job will be to fit all the subsystems for a 1U and 3U Cubesat. The AOCS is particularly challenging as it is a combination of magneto-torquers and 3 (1U cubesat) or 4 (3U) reaction wheels.

Once the system is integrated you will have to determine and balance it center of mass to meet the Cubesat standard and perform the system tests.

Project Duration: 6 months

Desirable expertise or programming language:

  • Very extensive knowledge of C++ and microprocessors like TI CC3200
  • Knowledge of CCSDS and communication protocols
  • Matlab and experience with cubesats is a plus
