  • Abstract
    The number of nanosatellite missions has increased significantly in the last 10 years. This is, in large part, due to the introduction of the CubeSat standard [1] and the increased capabilities of integrated circuits. These factors have reduced the complexity and size of the subsystems and, consequently, the size of the satellite. The corresponding cost reduction has made satellite missions more attractive to the scientific and academic community.
