This department is based on two main pillars, Attitude Control and Orbit Control. In Attitude Control, the mission is to orient and stabilize the satellite using mechanical systems in order to align all the satellite's sensors and antennas with the Earth so that we can receive and transmit data in real time.
Simultaneously, another major focus is on orbital mechanics, where we will calculate and simulate optimal orbits for the satellite's operation.
In addition, we will work on the satellite's return to Earth by calculating and simulating orbit decay and re-entry trajectories.

4 MEMBERS, HEADED BY DIOGO SANTOS

The Payload department is responsible for the design, development, and integration of the satellite's primary scientific or technical instruments, which are central to the mission's objectives. This involves defining mission goals, creating detailed requirements, and selecting components while collaborating with suppliers. The department builds prototypes, integrates the payload with the satellite, and conducts rigorous functional and environmental tests, ensuring seamless integration with the satellite’s systems and coordinating with external partners. Comprehensive documentation and reporting are essential, as well as providing operational support and troubleshooting during the mission to optimize payload performance, ultimately ensuring the success of the satellite by generating the critical data or results needed to achieve its primary objectives.

The Power Systems department ensures the satellite has a reliable and efficient power supply throughout its mission by designing and developing the power generation, storage, and distribution systems. This includes selecting appropriate solar panels, batteries, and power management components to meet mission requirements and environmental tolerances. The department integrates these components with the satellite platform, conducts functional, thermal, and load tests, and collaborates with other teams, suppliers, and external partners. They provide comprehensive documentation and regular progress reports. During the mission, the department monitors power system performance, troubleshoots issues, and optimizes power usage, ensuring the satellite operates efficiently. Their work is crucial, as a reliable power supply is fundamental to all satellite operations and the achievement of mission objectives.
