Abstract
Small satellites in recent years are emerging in the space innovation and accomplishing the objectives set by bigger satellites. The mission life of this class of satellites is short due to the confinement in mass and energy storage. In addition to this, the commercial off-the-Shelf (COTS) components used in the development challenge the mission life of this satellite due to its higher failure rates. This paper portrays the design of reliable on-board computer of STUDSAT-2, a twin nano-satellite mission being under development by undergraduate students. The paper describes the redundancy method incorporated in the design of satellite at different levels. Finally, the power budget analysis is summarized in the results.
