“…The prototype stabilizes on its three axes; the altitude is controlled by a permanent magnet; the power is provided by six solar cells and a lithium-ion manganese battery of 780 mAh. In [5], the educational satellite SATEDU was designed and manufactured at the Engineering Institute of the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México in 2009. It has several subsystems: power supply, flight computer, wireless communications, satellite platform sensors, inertial wheel stabilization, and inertial navigation sensors.…”

Space technology for small satellites has made significant progress in the academic and industrial fields, and an alternative focused on educational institutions is the CubeSat standard, created to promote various scientific projects of space exploration. In this context, a fundamental module of any satellite is the telemetry subsystem, which controls the communication with the Earth through electronic circuits dedicated to remote communication; also, the measurement and power supply modules are integrated into a CubeSat. Its construction costs range from USD 2500 to 55,000, with suppliers from Europe and the United States. This motivates the development of the present project, aimed at an academic–experimental CubeSat-1U prototype, to limit this technological dependence, focusing on the measurement generated by the acceleration sensors, angular velocity, magnetic fields, barometric pressure, temperature and ultraviolet light intensity, and the energization of each of them. For this, the main objective of the research is to identify the four basic subsystems of the CubeSat-1U: (a) energization subsystem, (b) sensing subsystem, (c) transmission and reception subsystem, and (d) control subsystem. To describe in detail the construction of (a) and (b), a set of diagrams is performed, defining their operation and its interaction. To explain the subsystem’s construction, the components selection and integration are presented. As a result, the electrical measurements generated by the power system, the output of the sensors in laboratory conditions, and images of the developed circuits are presented, having as a contribution to the methodology of design, integration, and development of the four subsystems, the feasibility of construction and its implementation in an academic satellite.

Space technology is becoming increasingly important in modern society. It participates in the construction of the future and the welfare of humanity through many applications in daily life. These factors lead to the need for training, research, and development in this area of space exploration. This paper reviews the use of small satellites to acquire basic knowledge of the space sector. Further development of this knowledge leads to the creation of space missions, which, in turn, ensure the progress of the space technology readiness level (TRL), defined by the international measurement scale. It is able to estimate technological maturity. The review concludes that the use of low-cost or didactic satellites could contribute to space mission development and demonstration. We reckon that embedded components with functions similar to smartphones can be used to achieve this goal. Two types of embedded components are discussed to demonstrate their efficacy in space engineering.
