STUDENT SATELLITE PROJECT Overview of Satellite Design 1. Introduction
Design and development of satellite is a challenging tasks, at one hand it involves the team effort of multiple disciplines and on the other designers need to ensure that satellite will be able to withstand withstand and and survive the harsh environment including including temperature temperature extremes, radiations, shocks, vibration during launch etc. Till today thousands of satellites have been launched for various applications such as Weather Forecasting, Television Broadcasting, Communications, Internet Communications, Navigation, and Remote Sensing etc. For any kind of satellite three components are required
Launcher (means to send it to desired orbit) Satellite itself Ground Station (means to control satellite and receive its data)
The brochure at hand gives an overview of satellite design and various aspects that need to be considered. Simplified block diagram of a satellite is given below:
