From the project

TigerCub, an accessible PocketQube platform.

TigerCub is a satellite bus in the PocketQube form factor, designed to be accessible to students and amateur nanosatellite developers. It uses primarily commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) components and relatively simple custom-designed PCBs, lowering barriers of entry for developers who are venturing into the PocketQube world.

I developed TigerCub for my undergraduate senior independent work. The vast majority of design work is complete and some subsystems have been tested in laboratory environments, but the satellite bus has yet to undergo full functional testing and testing in flight-like…
