Payload

The payload selected for imaging the earth is a COTS “NanoCam C1U” from Gomspace Inc. NanoCam is a flexible and modular system to rapidly implement tailored imaging systems.

The imaging sensor is a CMOS active pixel array of 2048H x 1536V. Fig.3.1 shows Gomspace NanoCam C1U.

OBC >

Battery tied bus being the simplest power system configurations, has been selected for its minimal complexity.

ADCS >

PISAT is configured as a three axis stabilized satellite to meet the pointing and stability requirements of the Imaging payload.

RF Systems >

PISAT is configured to have TT&C links in the standard TT&C S-band. The operating frequencies are selected to avoid interference to and from the assigned and currently used frequencies of satellites as well as the launch vehicle – PSLV.
