Descripció del contingut i pla d'activitats:
This Final Degree Project aims at developing a telecommunications
network usingLoRa technology to interconnect several PocketQubes
(pico-satellites with a form factor of 5 x 5 x 5 cm^3).

These long-range low-bandwidth Inter-Satellite Links (ISL) can be
used to exchange satellites' position and attitude as auxiliary
information to align the spacecrafts so that large-bandwidth
optical ISL can be properly oriented and perform.

These ISLs can also be used to exchange small amounts of
scientific information or even to download it to ground.

In this Final Degre Project the communication protocols will be
implemented, first using COTS LoRa Heltec modules (Arduino
based), and then using several PocketQubes developed at the UPC
NanoSat Lab, that use an STM 32 (to be programmed in C-language)
as On-Board Computer.
 
Overview (resum en anglès):
This Final Degree Project aims at developing a telecommunications link using LoRa technology to interconnect a PocketQube (pico-satellites with a form factor of 5 x 5 x 5 cm^3) with a ground station from the TinyGS network.

This long-range low-bandwidth link can be used to download the telemetry, the payload or the configuration data, and to send telecommands from the ground station to the PocketQube, such as the execution of orders as activate the payload, do a soft reset, perform an ADCS calibration etc.

In this Final Degre Project, the communication protocols will be implemented, using COTS LoRa TTGO T-Display ESP32 WiFi module (Arduino based), and a PocketQube developed at the UPC NanoSat Lab, which uses an STM 32 (to be programmed in C-language) as On-Board Computer.
