qbkit hardware
qbkit edu emulates the mechanical and electrical interfaces of a nanosatellite mission: power and data interfaces, flexible mechanical interfaces and an Open Source computing platform running Linux OS.
The main components of the qbkit edu are:
- qbkit edu electronics
- Beaglebone Open Source computer.
- qbkit power and data interfaces shield for Beaglebone.
- 3d printed structure
qbkit edu electronics
Power buses
Qbkit edu electronics contain:
- Converter 1 and converter 2 step down converters with manually configurable voltage and up to 3A current rating. Factory configuration is the following one:
- Converter 1: 3.3V
- Converter 2: 5V
- Converter 3: step up converter with manually configurable voltage. Range: from Vin (12V with adaptor supplied) to 28V. Current rating is limited by the qbkit edu power supply (12V at 2A max).
Each power bus contains a current sensor.
qbkit edu electronics contains another step down converter currently not being used.
Adjustment of power buses voltage
Voltage in each of the 3 power buses can be adjusted
Data buses
qbkit edu electronics contain the following data buses:
- CAN
- I2C
- SPI
- UART
- 2x GPIO

qbkit 3D printed structure
This section explains the 3d printed structure that acts as baseline for your creations. The parts has been designed to be printed in ABS or PLA and takes into account the tolerances of 3d printing non-professional machines. Test prints might be needed and CAD models adjusted depending on your printer, settings and materials. The 3d printed structure is composed of two main parts:
- qbkit edu electronics box
- qbkit edu structure
Most of qbkit edu structure parts join together without fasteners by using a pin to hole approach. The flexibility of the 3d printed material allows the assembly of the structure.
The CAD step files can be visualised and downloaded here.
A video showing the assembly can be seen here.
qbkit edu electronics box
qbkit electronics are fixed inside a 3D printed box consisting of two parts. This electronics box protects the qbkit edu electronics and allows them to be integrated into the qbkit edu structure.
The lower part of the box contains holes were M2.5 nuts can be inserted. The upper part of the box contains countersunk through holes for M2.5 fasteners with a length of 20mm.
qbkit edu structure
qbkit edu structure is formed of three main elements:
- Vertical elements: act as the main link for the elements inside the structure
- Horizontal elements: link vertical elements. They also contain a feature that allows to insert an M2.5 nut in it to provide a mechanical interface to closure panels or exterior elements.
- Closure panels / exterior elements: They mechanically interface with the horizontal elements with M2.5 fasteners.
MSD Tutorial example: Deployment from ISS
This section presents a tutorial example to familiarise the customer with the features that are contained within MSD.
Tutorial scenario: Deployment from ISS
In this scenario, it is assumed that the satellite is released from the International Space Station (ISS) at a specific date and time, T: 01/01/2001 at 16:30:00Z, with the following payload configuration:
- Average P/L Consumption: 1.3 W
- P/L Operation: Uninterrupted
- P/L database generation: 2000 bps
The ground segment supporting this scenario includes TRS and KIR. The scenario will be studied over 1 sidereal day.
The ground segment supporting this scenario includes TRS and KIR. The scenario will be studied over 1 sidereal day.
Input of initial parameters
Within the System tab in the Inputs section of the MSD tool, introduce the following values:
- Average P/L Power Consumption: 1.3
- P/L Operation: Uninterrupted (sunlight + eclipse)
- P/L datarate generation: 2000
