The LMU CubeSat Laboratory consists of several subsystems for the design and implementation of the LMU CubeSat, whose mission is demonstration of altitude control via a retractable solar sail. Students of different programs collaborate to design, implement, test, and integrate the different subsystems required for the mission. Dr. Vejarano supervises the student research in collaboration with industry partners from Aerospace Corporation.
The subsystems include:
CubeSat Hardware
UHF Transceiver Type II (Endurosat)
Microcontroller (MCU) Chip
CubeSat Development Board
LED I/O Board
The MPLAB ICD 3
Ground Station Hardware
Yagi Antenna
LNA
SDR
Raspberry Pi
Azimuth and Elevation Rotator
Relay Board
CubeSat Software
Real-Time Operating System (Salvo)
MPLAB IDE
Hyper Terminal
