Delfi-n3Xt's Attitude Determiniation and Control Subsystem: Implementation and verification of the hardware and software

Attitude determination and control is the estimation of the current orientation of a satellite and controlling or changing it in order to reach a desired orientation. In the current gener- ation of nano satellites an Attitude Determination and Control Subsytem (ADCS) plays an important roll and sometimes even critical roll. An ADCS is necessary...

Fault-Tolerant On-Board Computer Software for the Delfi-n3Xt Nanosatellite

Fault-tolerant On-Board Computer (OBC) software for the Delfi-n3Xt nanosatellite is needed in order to minimize the risk of failures that may occur while the satellite is operating in space. Failures may be OBC specific, but failures that affect the state of the entire satellite and influence the health of the data bus may occur as well. Some...
