Nanosatellite / CubeSat Feasibility Studies
Mission Objectives and Requirements Analysis
Clarify mission goals, objectives, and functional requirements. Identify constraints such as budget, size, power, mass, and timeline specific to the CubeSat platform.
System Design Trade-offs
Conduct trade studies to evaluate options for subsystem components (e.g., payload, communication, propulsion, power systems). Assess configurations to meet mission requirements while adhering to CubeSat standards.
Technical and Environmental Assessments
Analyze technical challenges including orbital mechanics, radiation, and thermal constraints. Evaluate launch vehicle compatibility and deployment mechanisms.
Cost and Schedule Estimation
Develop a cost breakdown covering development, testing, launch, and operations. Estimate the project timeline and identify critical path items.
Risk Analysis and Mitigation Strategies
Identify potential risks, such as technical failures, regulatory hurdles, or launch delays. Propose mitigation strategies to ensure mission feasibility.
