QB2 PocketQube System

Cubito (“QB2”) is Spanish for “little cube.” The QB2 PocketQube System is based on a concept and standard first proposed by Professor Bob Twiggs, to develop a satellite (5 cm x 5 cm x 5 cm) that could fit in a pocket. The QB2 PocketQube Engineering Model (“QB2EM”) is the perfect engineering system to provide students with challenging experiential learning opportunities, including: evaluating and operating satellite subsystems; assessing subsystem interactions; investigating FlatSat development and testing procedures; constructing and operating a pico-satellite engineering model; operating a ground station and communicating with QB2EM; demonstrating, communicating and modifying satellite operations; performing remote sensor measurements; programing firmware and concept of operations; developing new pay-loads by adding sensors or instruments, or by modifying software commands; and many more activities. The QB2 PocketQube System includes: an Arduino Uno Adapter; FlatSat Adapter; five subs
