<p>This page illustrates the main hardware components of our basic low Earth orbiting
CubeSat.</p>
<ul>
<li><p><strong><a href="http://cubesatkit.com">CubeSat Kit</a> Development Board/Flight
Module</strong></p>
<p>The "brain" of the satellite. Includes a very low-power Texas Instruments MSP430
microcontroller on the Pluggable Processor Module on the Motherboard. The aluminum
structure of the CubeSat, into which Alnico V magnets are glued for passive magnetic
stabilization.</p></li>
<li><p><strong><a href="http://clyde-space.com">Clyde Space</a> EPS</strong></p>
<p>Power supply controls charging of the lithium polymer batteries by the photovoltaic
panels, and produces 3.3V and 5V and ~8V raw.</p>

<li><p><strong><a href="http://astrodev.com">Astrodev</a> Helium-100 Radio</strong></p>
<p>Receiver for 2m band and transmitter for 70cm band. For communication between the
ground station and the CubeSat.</p>
<p><a class="imageLink" href="images/AstrodevHelium-100.jpg"><img

</p></li>
<li><p><strong><a href="http://www.isispace.nl">ISIS</a> AntS Deployable Antenna</strong>
</p>
<p>Crossed dipole antennas for 2m and 70cm, deploy after the CubeSat is deployed from
the launch vehicle.</p>

<li><p><strong><a href="http://novatel.com">Novatel</a> OEMV-1 GPS & University of
Michigan Position and Time Board</strong></p>
<p>Space qualified GPS and mounting board.</p>
<p><a class="imageLink" href="images/NovatelOEMV-1.jpg"><img
src="images/NovatelOEMV-1.jpg" alt="Novatel
OEMV-1 GPS" width="200"/></a></p></li>
<li><p><strong>IMU/Camera/Patch Antenna/Hysteresis Board</strong></p>
<p>Mounts our <b><a href="http://www.microstrain.com">Microstrain</a></b> Inertial
Measurement Unit, our GPS patch antenna, our camera and hysteresis rods.</p>
<p><a class="imageLink" href="images/IMU-board.jpg"><img src="images/IMU-board.jpg"
alt="IMU/Camera/GPS
Patch/Hysteresis Rods" width="200"/></a></p></li>
<li><p><strong>Photovoltaic Panels</strong></p>
<p>Outer surface of the CubeSat mounting photovoltaic cells for solar power generation
and very bright LEDs to observe the CubeSat from the ground. Made for us by <b><a
href="http://leddynamics.com">LED Dynamics</a></b>.</p>
