The project aims to design and produce a 5x5x5 cm pocketqube satellite that will be positioned in low earth orbit (500 km). The satellite will transfer the data obtained by the sensors and the camera to the earth. The satellite will be produced to serve for about 3 years on the earth's orbit. The satellite will include the Power Sub-System (EGS), the Built-in Computer Sub-System (MIS), the Communication Sub-System (HS), the Orientation Identification and Control Sub-System (YBKS) and the Useful Load Subsystem (FAS). All of the systems will be designed and produced in the laboratories of Zonguldak Bülent Ecevit University. A ground station will be established within our university for communication with the satellite. The data to be obtained via the ground station will be shared over the internet. The presented study explains the proposed system design of the pocketqube.
