Discussion

  • "Hotel Payload" as a secondary payload
    • We have to be careful of this as the CubeSat won't be allowed to operate in amateur frequencies if there is a pecuniary interest involved.
  • Redundancy
    • Having two MCU boards
    • Possibly a conference paper topic?
    • Can we prove mathematically that the suggested redundancy reduces system risk?
  • Encryption/protection of uplink/downlink information to satellite
    • We must take into account that in order to be able to use amateur frequencies, there can be no encryption; all communication must be in the clear.
  • Creating of online "lab books"
  • Wireless Sensor Network as payload
  • Add to the report under "Future Tasks":
    • getting a frequency and how to do it, as well as constraints where donations are concerned
  • Reviewing the schedule and the Mission Definition Review (after the MFS review)
  • For the designing and building team:
