LabOSat as a versatile payload for small satellites: first 100days in LEO orbit

TL;DR

This paper reports on the initial results from the LabOSat-01 platform, a versatile payload designed for testing custom devices on small satellites, during its first 100 days in Low Earth Orbit.

Contribution

It introduces the LabOSat-01 platform and provides the first in-orbit data analysis, including ionization dose measurements, comparing it with previous hardware.

Findings

Ionization Dose data collected in LEO.

LabOSat-01's performance in orbit.

Comparison with MeMOSat-01 results.

Abstract

In this work the first results obtained by LabOSat-01 platform are presented. This platform was designed for testing custom devices on board of small satellites. Two LabOSat-01 type boards were launched and placed into Low Earth Orbit (LEO) on May 30, 2016. We present here an analysis of data collected by one of these boards during the first days of mission. Total Ionization Dose results are compared with data acquired by LabOSat-01`s predecessor board, MeMOSat-01, launched in 2014.
