2 The Institute Scuola Universitaria Professionale A practice-oriented, innovation-devoted higher education institution Delivers graduates ready to face the challenges of the real world In touch with enterprises

3 Where TIsat-1 - Lugano PICPOT PalaMede ALMASat ITAMSAT UNISAT and more IBo/PCe/AWe 3 / totale

4 So, WHY TIsat-1 The satellite is primarely an effective educational mean to create motivation, responsibility, novelty and enthusiasm IBo/PCe/AWe 4 / totale

5 Payload: our mantra For a university satellite the most important payload is not what you launch, but what safely remains on the ground: System design skills with focus on critical environment conditions high reliability do-it-right first interoperability of wide range of systems Teamwork attitude and skills Scientific networking with highly qualified partners From concept to product, students see the end-to-end process IBo/PCe/AWe 5 / totale

6 The Facets On Board Computer and subsystems Attitude Detection and Control TISat-1 Ground Segment Computer Simulations Mechanical Design Power Supply Communication IBo/PCe/AWe 6 / totale

7 Scuola Universitaria Professionale SI P SU Study Research Build Verify Launch Monitor IBo/PCe/AWe Running Activities 7 / totale

13 Thermal Test in Vacuum IBo/PCe/AWe 13 / totale

14 For a 700km, circular, polar orbit, 1 to 6 months mission Many points still open Temperatures on and in the spacecraft: reliable data? Batteries: temperature issues? Electronic COTS: bipolar vs. MOS devices for radiation tolerance? Attitude: materials for passive control and damping? Composite structures for space: caveats? Rock-solid beacon: HowTo? Antennas: a mechanical issue, more than a radiation one? An alternative path to the launcher? (actually Cal-Poly) IBo/PCe/AWe 14 / totale
