Avionics

Avionics are the electronic systems that control aerospace vehicles. At PAST, our team designs custom hardware and software for CubeSats, rockets, and high-altitude platforms to ensure reliable performance and mission success.

Battery Management System

We need to be able to monitor our batteries and ensure that they’re charged by our panels.

FISH

FISH integrates all of our components together, turning our projects into a CubeSat.

Functional Flight Storage

Similar to how a computer requires a storage drive, our CubeSat needs storage.

GLoBe

It’s important to keep track of where our CubeSat is in orbit.

SOLIS

SOLIS is the CubeSat’s solar panel system that converts sunlight into electrical power to sustain all onboard operations.

STARCOMM

STARCOMM allows us to communicate with our CubeSat.

ADCS

ADCS is what keeps our satellite facing the right direction in space. The team uses devices like magnetorquers and sun sensors to figure out where the satellite is pointing, then gently adjusts its orientation to make sure it stays on track.

Magnetorquer

This allows us to remotely orient the CubeSat in space using magnetic fields.

OSIRIS

To make the most of our solar panels, we need to know where the sun is.

Mechanical

The Mechanical team designs, builds, and tests the satellite’s structure, ensuring components are securely housed and protected from launch stresses and space conditions. Their work makes the satellite compact, durable, and mission-ready.

CubeSat Chassis

It’s important the chassis is designed so that it remains in tact during a powerful rocket launch.

DANY

This system uses a nichrome wire and molded plastic to securely hold and release deployables.

Deployable Solar Panels

These deployable panels will extend out to point five faces of solar panels towards the sun.

HAB Chassis

To test all of our subsystems, we require a frame to be sent up into space.

Software

The Software team creates the code that controls the satellite, handling communication, system operations, data collection, and responses to space conditions. Their work ensures autonomous and reliable mission performance.

Ground Station

A ground station is crucial for a CubeSat because it provides the necessary communication link between the CubeSat in orbit and the operators on Earth.

Job Scheduler

A job scheduler on a CubeSat optimises resources, prioritises tasks, and ensures efficient operation in a resource-limited environment.
