Satellite Attitude Determination, Communication, and Control with AI

Satellite Attitude Determination, Communication and Control with AI

Commercial CubeSats miniature satellites are expensive, but individual components are less so. This project will reduce cost by integrating commercially available orientation control and communication systems. Another focus is on radiation shielding materials to enable the use of advanced processors on subsequent space flights. The solutions created will allow for more advanced features onboard CubeSats and higher rates of data transmission with ground.
