axa-1 cubesat

Overview: The Aerospace Experimental Association is a student club at FAU developing a Cube Satellite called AXA-1. This satellite will collect data from distant stars to further research into using light to send large packets of data across space at light speed for communication. The CubeSat will be split into seven main subsystems: 

1. Experiment subsystem

2. Microcontroller subsystem

3. Communications subsystem

4. Attitude Determination and Control (ADCS) subsystem

5. Ground Station subsystem

6. Power Supply subsystem

7. Standards and Evaluations team

8. Structures subsystem
