| description | In response to the growing need for enhanced space environment detection in ultra-low Earth orbits, this study introduces a pioneering design for a reconfigurable single-board satellite. Beyond the conventional attributes of compactness and a lightweight design, the single-board satellite also has unique features that are reconfigurable for the space detection mission it undertakes, as well as autonomous Earth communication capabilities that are not available in other very small satellites. Such advancements address the limitations of traditional very small satellites such as CubeSats and ChipSats. This paper delves deeply into the satellite’s design feasibility, including its functional requirements, power equilibrium, and communication links. Supplementing our design, a proof-of-concept prototype was crafted, and rigorous laboratory tests were performed to corroborate its key specifications and functionalities. |
