About this book

This book describes the development and design of a unique combined data and power management infrastructure The use in small satellites gives some particular requirements to the systems like potential hardware failure robustness and handling of different types of external analog and digital interfaces. These requirements lead to a functional merge between On Board Computer and the satellite's Power Control and Distribution Unit, which results in a very innovative design and even a patent affiliation. This book provides system engineers and university students with the technical knowledge as mix between technical brochure and a user guide.

Reviews

From the reviews:

“The text is organized into ten chapters, written by a total of 20 individual authors. Each chapter addresses the functionality and design of a particular modular circuit board … . this text is recommended as a reference and guide to students of small-scale satellite design, and to practitioners who actually build and operate such satellites, for whom these cutting-edge modular design approaches would be advantageous.” (A. G. Larson, Computing Reviews, November, 2013)
