Abstract

Currently, 10 National Institutes of Technology (KOSEN) are collaborating to develop a 2U CubeSat. This study aims to develop a CubeSat ground model that allows KOSEN students who wish to participate to learn CubeSat. The CubeSat ground model is a standard 10cm×10cm×20cm (2U) CubeSat size. Furthermore, it consists of a similar subsystem as the actual CubeSat, enabling semi-autonomous operation by OBC, charging and feeding by solar cells, and data transmission by wireless devices. Moreover, a structure system with a space where mission equipment can be installed will be designed, so that students can deepen their understanding of the satellite mission. These plans will be used in the model CubeSat production course at the KOSEN Space Camp 2019. This paper describes features of the developed model CubeSat and introduces the model CubeSat production course.
