1 CubeSat for Ions, Neutrals, Electrons and Magnetic Fields PI Robert Lin, SSL Project Manager Thomas Immel, SSL Systems Engineer Chris Pasma, SSL Mechanical Engineer David Glaser, SSL STEIN Scientist Davin Larson, UCB MAGIC Scientist Tim Horbury, ICL Imperial College London CINEMA

2 GENERAL NOTES 11 UCB currently students on CINEMA team. In collaboration with students at KHU, visiting students from Puerto Rico. Magnetometer from ICL Started a Seminar class devoted to CINEMA Current Mass Budget: Around 2.7 kg, harnessing and redesigns Thermal Model: Analytical at SSL, FEA from KHU, check with Solidworks Launch Provider: Still backup on NPP launch, alternatives

3 SUBSYSTEMS Electrical Power Progress Building Flight Panels Vibration and Thermal Cycling of panels Testing of Battery/ EPS Issues Clean Room facilities Interference with torque coils Cracked Cell during Thermal Cycle Next Steps Finish Flight Panels Build High Voltage Power Supply C & DH Progress Reviewing Commands FSW Issues Narrow down the amount Next Steps

4 SUBSYSTEMS Radio Communication Progress ETUs of both S-band and UHF antennas NTIA Application Issues NTIA process moving slowly Problems connecting Coaxial Cable to Whip Antenna Next Steps Finish NTIA Frequency Assignment Purchase Radios/ Antennas Redesign Whip Antenna ACS Progress Torque Coils tested, new wire Sun Sensors tested, refab of flight parts Finishing simulation Issues Varying settling times in simulation Next Steps Integration of ACS and Flight Software Speed up settling time Assemble Flight Parts

5 SUBSYSTEMS Spacecraft Structure Progress ETU built, being used for harnessing, stack integration Holes drilled into it as needed Issues Hard to machine Next Steps Slight redesign to make fabrication more precise. STEIN (SupraThermal Electrons, Ions and Neutrals) Progress New detector/ ASIC Issues Changes caused by the new hardware Next Steps Addressing these

6 SUBSYSTEMS MAGIC (MAGnetometer from Imperial College) Progress Single axis ETU complete Triple axis ETU in testing Issues Behind Schedule Next Steps Integrate with flight software Other Components Instrument Interface Board is being assembled. FPGA code fully simulated, waiting to run on the board. Harnessing done in Solidworks, working with the mockup chassis
