Laboratorio de Picosatélites de la Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas

Abstract

The book Picosatellite Laboratory of the Francisco José de Caldas District University is one of the results that shows the experience of the Gitem++ research group in the autonomous development of a picosatellite. It contains the synthesis of the experiments carried out for the preliminary design and the critical design of the modules that make up a picosatellite and the specifications for the development of the power and communications modules, details of the control room and the earth station, as well as as a complete guide to the development of the satellite data and control module and the ins and outs of the clean room. These requirements are essential for the construction of a small satellite with the complexity of a commercial satellite. Within these pages there is an additional publication that corresponds to the practices of the Picosatellite Laboratory; By way of motivation, this series takes us to the fascinating world of satellites on a small and real scale, to have space within everyone's reach.
