CubeSat On-Board Computer – Main Bus Unit SatBus 3C2

SatBus 3C2 is a highly integrated nano-satellite main bus unit containing advanced functionality:

An on-board flight computer (OBC)
An attitude determination & control system (ADCS)
Redundant UHF communication system (COMM)

SatBus 3C2 is a flight computer tailored for small-sized satellites and complies with the CubeSat standard. The system is designed to reduce customers’ time and budget costs, minimize required integration effort and effectively increase volume for payload as well as overall system reliability through matched hardware on one board.

SatBus 3C2 architecture is based on an STM32 H7 series microcontroller with high-performance and low power ARM Cortex™ M7 32-bit core MCU, operating at a frequency of up to 400 MHz. The same M7-core MCU performs OBC and ADCS functions. External flash and F-RAM memories provide reliable storage for telemetry and user data. Various digital interfaces are available for sensor and other CubeSat hardware support.
