Overview

This project involves the development of the TET (Telemetry, Encoding & Transmission) module tailored for a 1U CubeSat platform. The system is engineered to handle TT&C (Tracking, Telemetry, and Command) capabilities, providing long-range telemetry and low-power wireless communication based on the Semtech LR1121 RF transceiver architecture and an STM32L431 microcontroller.

Technical Parameters

  • RF Architecture: E80-900M2213S (LR1121)
  • Supported Bands: Dual-band operation (915 MHz and 2.4 GHz)
  • Modulation Schemes: LoRa, GFSK, FLRC, and LR-FHSS.
  • RF Interfaces: Dedicated SMA/IPEX outputs for external antennas
  • External Interfaces: SPI, GPIO, and CAN bus (via TCAN3414).
  • Power Input: 3 independent 5 V input channels from the EPS (via PC/104)
  • Power Regulation: Independent, regulated low-noise 3.3 V rail.
  • Onboard Sensors: INA226 (current and voltage monitoring) and TMP112 (temperature monitoring and thermal alerts via I2C).
  • Storage: 3 external SPI flash memories configured with TMR (Triple Modular Redundancy) for telemetry buffering and data storage.

Repository Organization

  • docs: Technical documentation and datasheets.
  • hardware: Core hardware files.
    • 3D: 3D models (.step).
    • Fabrication: BOM and Gerber files for JLCPCB manufacturing.
    • PCB: KiCad schematics and layout design.
  • firmware: Examples of firmware implementation.
