Sistema de comunicaciones para el Picosatélite Colombia 1

Abstract

The objective of this paper is to present information about research of the designs and developments for the communications systems in Colombia-1 picosatellite, under the project CubeSat-UD. In this case, a time line based on preliminary studies of the communications channel was made, followed by the critical designs of each subsystem, and then the integration of all subsystems. Finally, the analysis of results, where the strengths and weaknesses of each study and designs are showed. With this work, it was possible to have knowledge of the experience acquired so far, which led to the conclusion that the module had some limitations, failures that allows a new starting point for a design, not only for the CubeSat-UD project, but also for future developers and researchers of picosatellites, since, in this type of studies, the time factor is important because it tends to be extensive to reach a final design.
