Emulator of Communication of SATEX-II Satellite with Earth Station

Abstract:

We present a project to encourage students to venture into aerospace engineering projects, mainly in the emulation of communicating with the satellite and the earth station. In this exercise was proposed to use all the features of SATEX-II so they could understand a specific project and thus understand all the elements of the TV and play on to scale their communication with the ground station, with the ultimate to generate a comprehensive understanding. And we present to the conceptual design of the various elements of hardware that will Satex-II Satellite and in the most important aspects to consider in choosing the computer. Space conditions are totally different from terrestrial conditions, so the elements of the satellite's computer should be space technology, which require specific materials and fully redundant architecture for the proper functioning of the satellite, which depends mainly on the assigned mission.
