C&DH Subsystem

Board Design: Adam Kemp

The PRISMSpace-1 C&DH board is based on the ArduSat C&DH board used in the TJ3Sat satellite project which launched with the ELaNa-IV mission in November, 2013. Corrections were made to this original circuity and it is fully compliant with the Space Tango - Tango Lab specification.

Software: Savva Morozov

C&DH board is based on ATMEGA-328 microprocessor, programed using using Arduino (C++). I wrote 2 different programs: Pre-Post Flight Synchronization and Flight Operation, and each of these had 2 distinct versions specific to Ground/Flight CubeSats.

Pre-Post Flight code ensured that all CubeSat subsystems are operational, synchronize the primary payload timers, and acquire control data for the experiment.

Flight Operation code acquired sensor & operation telemetry while the CubeSat was installed inside of the ISS, encoded and produced the telemetry to be recorded using SpaceTango framework, and ran system checks on the CubeSat subsystems.
