Abstract

The AAUSAT3 satellite is a 1U cubesat, which has been developed by students at Aalborg Uni- versity, Denmark in collaboration with the Danish Maritime Authority. The satellite was launched into a polar DD-SSO orbit of 800 km altitude on February 25th 2013 on a mission to monitor ships from space using their AIS broadcast signals as an indication of position by means of a simple dipole antenna. he satellite was developed as a purely decentralized system consisting of 8 components, Electronic Power Supply, Communications, AIS receiver 1 (HW based), AIS receiver 2 (SDR based), ADCS1 (de- tumbling), ADCS2 (pointing), Flight planner and Logging, interconnected through a CAN bus running the Cubesat Space Protocol. In the absence of an Onboard Computer, each sub- system has been developed as a completely autonomous subsystem, thus reducing interdependencies between subsystems.
