Is your picosatellite ready for launch? Can it withstand rocket
thrusts and the vacuum of space? This do-it-yourself guide helps
you conduct a series of hands-on tests designed to check your
satellite's readiness. Learn precisely what the craft and its
electronic components must endure if they're to function properly
in Low Earth Orbit.
The perfect follow-up to "DIY Satellite Platforms" (our primer
for designing and building a picosatellite), this book also
provides an overview of what space is like and how orbits work,
enabling you to set up the launch and orbit support you'll need.Go
deep into the numbers that describe conditions your satellite will
faceLearn how to mitigate the risks of radiation in the
ionospherePick up enough formal systems engineering to understand
what the tests are all aboutBuild a thermal vacuum chamber for
mimicking environment of spaceSimulate the rocket launch by
building and running a vibration shake testUse a homebuilt
centrifuge to conduct high G-force testsGet guidelines on
scheduling tests and choosing an appropriate lab or clean room
