Clyde Space Involvement

Clyde Space will be providing 4 off sets of avionics (platforms) into the IOD programme.

Design based around the Outernet 3U Extension programme –designed specifically to house unidentified payloads

IOD Platform

• Design based around the use of Clyde Space standard parts

• Enables rapid mission development

• Aim to provide a multi mission platform with customised CONOPS based on the hosted software (ADCS and OBC)

• Step change toward ‘standard platform’ products

• XXX

Interfaces

• I2C

• SPI

• UART

• CAN

• RS232

• RS422

• BatV(1.5A)

• 3V3 (0.5A)

• 5V (0.5A)

• Payload interface module provides access to the stack

• Payload connections isolated from stack if required

• Mechanical specifications as per CubeSat standard

Integration and AIVT

• Provide both a QM and an FM into the programme

• Provide requirements (e.g. pointing, operating frequencies etc.)

• Provide subsystem level qualification as defined by relevant documentation
