CubeSat XI-V

Vorbereitung des CubeSat

Pünktlich um 0652 UTC hob am 27.10.2005 die russische Trägerrakete Kosmos-3M vom Kosmodrom Plesetsk erfolgreich ab. Die Payload bestand aus den 6 Satelliten Mozhayets-5 (Russland), Sina-1 (Iran), dem chinesischen BEIJING-1 , dem englischen Erdbeobachtungssatellit TopSat , SSETI Express (European Space Agency) mit dessen weiteren 3 CubeSats NCube-2 (Norwegen), UWE-1 und XI-V (Japan). Auf der letzten Raketenstufe der COSMOS-3M Rakete ist eine weitere aktive Satellitennutzlast RUBIN-5 (SAFIR-S) installiert, die nach Aussetzen der primären und sekundären Satellitennutzlasten im Orbit verbleibt und technischen Experimenten dient.

Der Name von ISSL’s CubeSat ist “XI” ([ sai ] X-Faktor, Forscher). Abgeleitet von seiner quadratischen Form (XI bedeudet Domino auf japanisch) stellt er den nachforschenden Geist in Richtung zur Neuerkenntnis und zur Technologie dar.

Transformation fomula   

Transformation formula from data to voltage, current and temperature as follows:

c :voltage of secondary batteries
A data is given in hexadecimal. Please change a hexadecimal number to a decimal number, 
and substitute the data into following equation.
voltage=data/255*4.5 [V]

<<Example>
voltage=0x0f=15
voltage=15/255*4.5=0.26 [V]

d :voltage of solar array
A data is given in hexadecimal. Please change a hexadecimal number to a decimal number, 
and substitute the data into following equation.
voltage=data/255*4.5*74.9/18.7 [V]

<<Example>
voltage=0xa0=160
voltage=160/255*4.5*74.9/18.7=11.3 [V]

e :charging current
A data is given in hexadecimal. Please change a hexadecimal number to a decimal number, 
and substitute the data into following equation.
voltage=data/255*4.5/100 [mA]

f :consumption current of CDC
A data is given in hexadecimal. Please change a hexadecimal number to a decimal number, 
and substitute the data into following equation.
