Electronic systems can be adversely effected in space due to the radiation environment. Due to the available space-qualified devices often lacking the necessary performance requirements set by the satellites’ onboard softwares, commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) products are used more and more often. Testing of cosmic ray sensitivity is very challenging on Earth’s surface, thus an alternative...
QARMAN is the "QubeSat for Aerothermodynamic Research and Measurements on AblatioN" of the von Karman Institute of Fluid Dynamics (Belgium). It is the world’s first CubeSat designed to survive atmospheric re-entry. The main aim of the QARMAN mission was to demonstrate the usability of a CubeSat platform as an atmospheric entry vehicle.
QARMAN is a 3U CubeSat whose thermal design is based on...
