## Description

#### Introduction to Cubesat
A CubeSat is a class of miniaturized satellite with a form factor of 10 cm cubes.
CubeSats have a mass of no more than 2 kg (4.4 lb) per unit,[2] and often use commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components for their electronics and structure. CubeSats are put into orbit by deployers on the International Space Station, or launched as secondary payloads on a launch vehicle.
#### What is it?
It is a 1 Unit Cubesat kit for students which is powered by arduino. It consists of EPS, OBC, COM and Payload.
The structure is made of 3D Printed PLA and clear acrylic. 

### Subsystems
**EPS:** Its function is the boost the voltage from the solar panel to charge a single cell Li-ion battery. It also monitors the current and voltage that charges the battery.

**OBC:** It is powered by Arduino Pro mini and also consists of built in programmer. It also consists of Real Time Clock.

**Communication:** It consists of LoRa based communication module that communicates via LoRa modulation.

**Payload:** The payload consists of basic sensors like accelerometer, gyroscope, temperature sensor and pressure sensor and GPS sensor.

**Structure:** The structure is based on 1U Cubesat and consists of 3d printed parts printed with PLA material and 2mm clear acrylic.
