Original Abstract

This paper presents the design of a 2P (50x50x50mm) PocketQube satellite which will be used in STEM laboratory classes. The proposed system was designed with emphasis on modularity, ease of replacement using commercial off-the-shelf components, and easy understanding of the subsystems one can find in a satellite of this type. It also encourages students to come up with their own ideas and modules. The satellite itself is made out of four main modules: On-Board Computer, Communication module, Electric Power System module, and Payload module. These four modules are encapsulated in a structure made entirely out of PCBs and together form the basis of the satellite.
