Overview

This page outlines the current plan for the co-op term. It includes a project timeline, task breakdown, and any necessary links.

Co-op Task Board

This plan may be subject to certain content and/or timeline changes. We (the UW Orbital management team) will make every effort to keep this page up to date. If anything seems amiss, please contact one of the UW Orbital leads.

Co-op Term Plan

Phase 1: PCB board setup

Phase 1 background information

There are 3 main areas of background information for the PCB board setup: the ADCS architecture, the list of ADCS components, and other design teams’ ADCS PCB boards.

Phase 1.1: ADCS architecture review

In order to understand exactly what goals ADCS looks to accomplish and how it looks to accomplish them, the ADCS Architecture document has a detailed and visual explanation of its intended outcomes.

Phase 1.2: ADCS component review

Another source integral to understanding how ADCS looks to accomplish its goals is the list of ADCS components. The ADCS ‣ offer detailed explanations of what hardware is required for ADCS purposes and how that hardware works.

Phase 1.3: external ADCS PCB board review

One final series of sources that will help immensely in setting up the ADCS PCB board is looking at other design teams’ ADCS PCB boards. Looking particularly at their overall schematics to determine what went where may help set up what should go where on UW Orbital’s ADCS board(s).

Phase 1 deliverable(s)

The PCB board setup has 1 main deliverable: a detailed ADCS board(s) block diagram.

Phase 1.4: ADCS PCB board block diagram(s)

For reference to how the PCB board block diagram should look, please see PLACEHOLDER. The block diagram should include:

• One box for each necessary board
  • Part of this is determining the necessary number of boards required to accomplish ADCS’s goals. The current assumption is that 2 boards are needed: 1 for the magnetorquers, and 1 for every other component.
