On-board data handling functionality exploits the advantages of the reliable hot redundant CAN networking with built-in error detection mechanisms and a ruggedized and fail-safe harness to reduce the overall system complexity and to extend the miniaturization aspect. The additional high speed LVDS links can easily cope with payloads producing large amount of data. Small in scale while big on features are the key advantages addressing the new horizons of the emerging space market.

TRISAT
Platform NANOsky I
TRISAT is an institutional non-commercial nanosatellite mission primed by the University of Maribor under the ESA aiming to provide an in-orbit demonstration of the Slovenian space technologies by following up the latest trends of technology miniaturization and to address the upcoming changes in the economy of space. The scientific objective is focused on remote sensing using a miniaturized multispectral optical payload coupled with high-throughput S-BAND communication capabilities to provide affordable Earth observation in up to 20 non-overlapping bands in within Short Wave Infrared spectrum. TRISAT spacecraft is based on a highly miniaturized nanoscale platform from Slovenian company SkyLabs with fault tolerant features as would be expected in high-end systems. From an educational perspective the mission has already proven its role to provide valued experience for future generation of Slovenian space engineers.
