About
The piPLASMA is the World’s First Space-Friendly™ CubeSat Space Flight and Weather Monitor unit intended for in-situ orbital and environmental measurements. The system consists of the full Langmuir Probe instrument electronics, Ion Plasma probe in Z+/- CubeSat side wall form factor, 3-axis AMR magnetometer, 3-axis MEMS angular rate sensor (gyroscope), solid-state low power Dosimeter/Geiger Counter in non-magnetic finish, ultra low power 15 channel CubeSat GPS L1 receiver with DROP (Dead-Reckoning Orbital Propagator), Active GPS Antenna module, including a set of two Magnetorquer rods to validate the magnetic field measurements and Coarse Attitude Control in X-Y plane, with drivers. The unit can monitor the satellite tumbling rate in order of +/- 250 degrees per second in all three axes X, Y, Z, respectively. The Telemetry Engine provides important unit temperatures, input bus voltage and current, as well as Active GPS Antenna preamplifier DC bias feed current sampling.
