Introduction

CubeSats are miniaturized satellites that have become increasingly popular for space exploration and scientific research due to their small size, cost-effectiveness, and modular design. This project focuses specifically on the electrical aspects of a CubeSat, excluding any mechanical components.

The key objectives of this project include:

• Power Management: Efficiently manage power resources to ensure the CubeSat's continuous operation in space.

• Communication Systems: Implement reliable communication protocols for data transmission between the CubeSat and ground control.

• Sensor Integration: Integrate and interface various sensors to gather data for scientific or mission-specific purposes.

• Onboard Computer Systems: Develop the necessary software for the CubeSat's onboard computer to execute mission tasks and handle data.

• Fault Tolerance: Implement mechanisms to handle errors and faults to ensure the CubeSat's robustness in harsh space environments.
