Laboratory basic set Introsat™, topic groups "Satellite Engineering" and "Radio Communications >". Required to work with most other kits in the series.

Used for teaching the basics of satellite engineering and preparing for competitions.

The kits allow you to assemble functional models of satellites of the modern CubeSat format based on Arduino-compatible STM32 microcontrollers, have an open architecture and can serve as the basis for individual school projects with the possibility of their arbitrary expansion with a popular component base (sensors and components compatible with Arduino, etc.) .

The content of the course and the complete set of the basic set allow you to conduct practical classes, including:

Assembling a CubeSat satellite;
Microcontroller practice (educational or professional);
Practice with simple electronic components;
Development of control algorithms using sensors of angular velocity, angular position, magnetometer, illumination;
Uniaxial stabilization and satellite orientation by light source;
Transmission of data from sensors using radio modules of various types, incl. basics of modulation and coding of a radio signal;
Shooting with the on-board camera and transmitting the image over the air;
Application of solar panels and familiarity with the tasks of maintaining energy balance;
Calculation of the orbital characteristics of the mission and the flight sequence diagram in the software.

Allows you to prepare for the "Satellite Systems" profile of the National Technological Olympiad" and the competitions of the "Applied Space Systems" series of the "Planet Duty Officer" program.

The recommended age of students is 14-18 years old. Up to 3-4 students can work with one set. To work requires a PC or laptop.
