Payload Controller 1.5

The minimum order quantity for this subsystem is 5 pieces including a configurability.

The Payload Controller 1.5 (PC 1.5) is a subsystem dedicated to the interface between the payloads and NanoAvionics CubeSat and Microsatellite buses. It has a number of different interfaces for payload connection and can buffer data from payloads. It also controls the S-band transmitter or transceiver to transmit the buffered data to Ground Station.
