• Flight Hardware
o Need Charge Number for Sammy to populate the rest of the boards
o Move unfinished flight boards and parts from ECWC to Manekin lab. Complete each board kit
Solar panels top/bottom (minimum of 4 boards)
Solar panels side (minimum of 8 boards)
Battery board wiring diagram update and distribution to the team (also update the revision or date on the drawing. update to reflect H1/H2)
Battery board (minimum of 2 boards. Do not install battery cells at this time. include updated wiring to incorporate RBF switch)
Payload board wiring diagram update and distribution to the team (include a revision or date on the drawing. update to reflect H1/H2)
Payload board wiring (minimum 2 boards). Include trace modifications and determine if TextSpeak module must be conformal coated prior to installation)
Antenna board (minimum of 2 boards). Wait on installation of tuning coils and whips until after EDU is assembled and tested.
Radio board - Get Flight Radio from TJ. Update wiring diagram to reflect modifications required.
Radio board wait on modification of RF connectors until implemented and tested on EDU
Radio board - modify 2 flight boards
o Update Parts List -Wills and Lucy
New Standoffs
Add antenna board coils
Add conformal coat
Add white wire
Add flux for antenna whips
Update master part list
Compare and document the EDU As-Built versus As-Designed - update the design
o Check how long the battery takes to charge
o Solve problem with antenna board SMA connectors
o Connect Kevin Doherty on antenna deployment -Wills and Lucy
Coil
What equipment?
How?
When?
• Flight Software
o Code doesn’t talk to payload board, possible options:
Contact Mason and see if he knows a simple solution
Share hardware UART with sensor
See if there’s some method to share transmit line
Use radio UART
• Need to see if it works electrically
o Add watchdog timer
o Add automatic load shedding to keep batteries charged on low battery voltage
o Refine telemetry sample times
o Add code to store reset count in DS2438 Flash
o Add code to determine realtime count from DS2438
o Test telemetry sampling code from DS2406
o Write software test plan including stress testing cases
commanding flood
recovery from dead battery
no 'sun' to test load shedding
long duration without any commands
corrupt commands
commanding out of sequence payload operation
• Ground Software
o Use ground station to track another Cubesat or amateur satellite - decode the data
o Write ground station description - describe each major function, describe data types and commands
o Make the ground station software use the spacecraft software header file to get updated command and telemetry list?
o Store Data to File
o Read Data from File
o Display Stored Data
o Convert Data to Engineering Units
o Finish up Graphical User Interface
o Devise Error Checking Methods
o Set up a Visual Display of the Source Code
o Create a fully functioning web interface including test plan by uninformed users
o Interface with Google Earth
• Testing
o Flash Testing Solar Panels - why is this needed? what test can be performed to answer the "why"
o TVAC
Have to use RF cables here
Determine the exact physical configuration of the spacecraft while in the chamber
Determine when in the integration flow is the spacecraft thermal vacuum tested
Determine if the spacecraft is turned on during TVAC. If so, how is the communication and power connected to the spacecraft?
Draw a picture or take a photograph of the TVAC setup with spacraft and support equipment
If the antenna is integrated into the spacecraft, determine how it is deployed for use if needed
o Vibration Testing - Contact Mr. Hammond regarding this. -Wills and Lucy
o Vibration Testing - Show the TJ table spectrum from the Taurus or CalPoly vibration spectrum - use a mass model and test accelerometers
o Antenna Deployment at ambient, low voltage, cold, and hot temperatures
Multiple deployments on the EDU
• Documentation
o Mass Budget
o Update Power Budget
o Update the Parts List
o Must document assembly of the EDU in pictures and words.
o Make a video of the assembly order and process for the spacecraft
• License Update
o Make sure all agreements are up to date.
o Acquire HAM Radio Licenses -Wills and Lucy
• NASA Cubesat Launch Initiative Proposal
o Update it
o Edit whatever necessary
Formatting slightly off, will fix.
