Satellite Attitude Determination, Communication, and Control with AI

Orbiting the Earth alongside large objects like the Hubble Telescope or the ISS, small satellites, known as CubeSats, are flown for educational or experimental purposes and are about the size of a shoebox. Two integral components of these small satellites are the ADCS, the system that controls the satellite’s position, and the communication module, the system that sends and receives information. Integrated, commercial versions of these systems are generally cost-prohibitive for a CubeSat application. The goal is to instead use individual components to make a cheaper control system and to create a board that will apply existing technology to the CubeSat scale. The solutions we create will lead to better control of the satellite and increased ability to send information to ground. This larger rate of data transfer allows for more complex functionality, like running a Star Tracker, to occur.
