In this paper, a detailed design is presented of a communications module that is designed to fit tight PocketQube design budgets but still offer performance at least comparable to commercial off-the-shelf CubeSat solutions. The communications module features extremely efficient power usage, less than 2 Watt DC for 1 Watt RF output while fitting in an extremely small volume, (42 x 42 x 8mm, approximately a quarter of the volume of CubeSat solutions). Our system also features a new communication scheme based on Short Block LPDC codes that provides a very high code gain (approximately 6dB for hard-decision and 9dB for soft-decision) using a high code rate. A ground modem implementation based on GNURadio is also presented, taking advantage of a new implementation for low-latency asynchronous data transmission.

This paper presents the design, integration and testing of a pico satellite, Delfi-PQ, a 3P PocketQube developed by Delft University of Technology, expected to be launched at the end of 2020. The main goal of this project is creating a miniaturized platform for future space missions with performances comparable to CubeSats, taking advantage of the miniaturization of electronic components and their integration. Education of aerospace engineering students is a second key goal of the project, where students involved in the project as part of their curricular activities.
