From the project
This repository contains the designs for the Big Red Sat-1, a 1U CubeSat examining the performance of perovskite solar cells in low earth orbit.
This repository contains the original designs for the Big Red Sat-1 1U CubeSat, conceived, designed, and launched by a multi-disciplinary team of middle schoolers and high schoolers from the Nebraska public school system, as well as undergraduate students and graduate students from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
The goal of this scientific mission is to characterize the performance and degradation of experimental perovskite solar cells from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory while in low earth orbit. To accomplish this, a custom precision curve tracer was designed along with a…

Big Red Payload Controller design files
The KiCad project lives in the Big-Red-Sat/Big-Red-Sat-1 repository on GitHub; these links point at the commit this page was built from.
Big Red Payload Controller: common questions
What microcontroller does the Big Red Payload Controller use?
The Big Red Payload Controller is built around the ADG841YKSZ-500RL7, from the TI MSP430/CC family.
How big is the Big Red Payload Controller PCB?
The Big Red Payload Controller measures 87 × 75 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Big Red Payload Controller?
148 components, from 75 distinct parts, with part numbers taken from the project's own BOM. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the Big Red Payload Controller design files?
From the Big-Red-Sat/Big-Red-Sat-1 repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Big Red Payload Controller design in my own project?
Yes, under the terms of its CC-BY-SA-4.0 license, which Big-Red-Sat chose for the repository.
Can I test firmware for the Big Red Payload Controller without the hardware?
Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug TI MSP430/CC firmware against it before you order a PCB.
