Ground Educational Satellite Kit and Demonstration Method for Standard CubeSat Functionality

Abstract

The invention discloses a ground education satellite kit capable of realizing the function of a standard cube star and a demonstration method thereof. The kit includes a satellite body, a ground demonstration terminal and a Lora wireless communication module for realizing the interaction between the two. The demonstration terminal sends uplink control commands, and the satellite selects different actions to execute after receiving different commands and returns data information downlink; the user adjusts and changes the satellite operation status through the corresponding uplink commands, and obtains the data information collected by the satellite. The present invention can realize the function test of standard cube satellite, including air pressure measurement, communication, positioning, image acquisition, satellite attitude measurement and adjustment, etc., and can also be used for satellite design assembly, integration and testing, software programming, hardware system development and Satellite ground measurement and control, suitable for personnel training at various levels, learning and debugging for CubeSats. The invention has the advantages of compact structure, complete system, comprehensive and intuitive demonstration functions, etc., and is applicable to aerospace engineering professional education.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of satellite technology and aerospace engineering education, in particular to a ground education satellite kit capable of realizing the function of a standard cube star and a demonstration method thereof. Background technique [0002] In recent years, with the rapid development of computers, new materials, micro-electronic machinery, high-density energy and space propulsion technology, people are demanding to reduce the cost and risk of satellites, and at the same time, it is urgent to reduce the satellite development cycle. Dedicated satellites and satellite networking require satellite technology with small investment and quick results. CubeSat has become the most dynamic research direction in the aerospace field with a brand-new concept and a new design idea. Its standard size is 10×10×10cm nano-satellite, which can be expanded to 2 units, 3 units or even 6 units as needed. To carry more scientific payloads. It h...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] The wide application of CubeSats promotes the learning of aerospace professional knowledge by people from all walks of life. However, in the actual satellite education, due to the high cost of CubeSats, a lot of knowledge can only stay at the theoretical level, and it is impossible to carry out in-depth practical exercises.

Moreover, the satellite education products that have emerged in recent years are limited to the construction of simple theoretical framework models and teaching demonstrations, which cannot fully simulate the real flight status of satellites in orbit, let alone satisfy professional learners on the design, manufacture, verification and operation of cubesats. needs
