As the time to launch approaches closer we have some excellent news which we will share as soon as we get the OK. As usual, the development is ploughing forward for both hardware and software, both are coming to an apex where the software is passing rigorous test documents an the hardware is reaching the...
Development is really coming along at the moment. Julian is hard at work engineering the hardware with Chris and Richard is working on the Ground Station control panel. The deployable solar panel design is completed and the hinges are soon to be manufactured by a to be an announced CNC company based in China! We’re...
software review We have ran our first software review which was very positive and the code was almost bulletproof C, we have still got a few more in-depth reviews to go through and also using the JPL (NASA Jet Propulsion Lab) standard as a baseline for our software quality. Hardware prototype with deployment system Here’s...
Hello, We have been working hard since the last post and have some great news! Julian has ordered prototype PCBs for the Atmegas and the MPPT board is in development as we speak. Richard has implemented some automatic tuning for the ground station to connect to the satellite and is documenting all the code using...
Beacon system ALPHA prototype Arduino code for the Beacon System has been written and integrated with the hardware. This is a big step forward in testing because it allows for testing on a workbench. If you are developing software for Arduino but don’t have access to hardware use this simulator https://www.tinkercad.com/
Hello! In the upcoming days, we’ll be keeping things posted here. Stay tuned!
