CCT

The goal for CCT (Cubesat Controls Testbed) is to design and build a platform for testing small satellite FlatSat and SmallSat avionics such as attitude determination and control hardware and software while mimicking the magnetic environment and variable orientations of Space within the AggieSat Lab environment. This will assist in current projects such as AggieSat6 and any future SmallSat projects in the 3 to 50 kg range allowing for hardware to be sized and verified as well as to test and verify control and day-in-the-life software. Simultaneously this project serves as a valuable hands-on multidisciplinary learning experience for our members in deriving the theory, designing, building, and testing the hardware and software to make this possible.
