Brief • Mobile App for interacting with personal spacecraft • Background • Technical Challenges • Inspiring an open source, open access, personal space age.
CubeSat, Chipsat, Thin-Film • Low Cost • 4kg CubeSat carries many smaller craft • 10g ChipSats can have MEMS accelerometers and gyroscopes • <1g Thin-Film craft are a system on a chip
A Short History • JA Launching KickSat in September 2013 • 2nd Year Undergraduate Group Project Oct 2012 – May 2013
Why this app? • Interactivity and control to users • Smartphones are the current big thing • Greater exposure for CubeSat projects • Generate public enthusiasm for open source space • Easier for CubeSat projects to have an app • Answer many research based questions
System Architecture • Harvesting Data • HTML Scraping • Data Formatting • Processing Data • Sanitizes Data
