Hi everyone. Today's discussion dealt mostly with ideas for the different subsystems for SEDSAT-2.

Contents

Participants:

  • Tom Nordheim, UKSEDS
  • Pradeep Nair, SEDS-India
  • Kirk Kittell, SEDS-USA alumnus
  • Anbarasan V, India
  • Lavina Parwani, PhilSEDS
  • Nikko Torcita, PhilSEDS
  • Michael Jensen, SEDS-Canada
  • Geoff Hilton, SEDS-Canada


Subsystem leaders were assigned:

  • Geoff Hilton: command and data handling
  • Tom Nordheim: payload
  • Anbarasan V: attitude control
  • Lavina Parwani: ground and communications
  • Michael Jensen: power
  • Pradeep Mohandas: structures


Open tasks:

  • Collect subsystems information from current/previous CubeSats and post at SEDSAT-2 Research.

This research will be used for discussion at the next meeting and to create basic requirements for subsystems. For example, with research on existing payloads, attitude control, and communications, we may be able to create a preliminary requirement that the power subsystem needs between 500 W and 2000 W.


Following week:

The next meeting will be held on Sunday, 3 December at 14:00GMT. (to convert 14:00GMT to your favorite time zone: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?month=12&day=10&year=2006&hour=14&min=0&sec=0&p1=0)

  • Discuss payload options.
  • Discuss the research from the previous week and how it relates to SEDSAT-2 design.
