Research abstract
The Nanosat Testbed Initiative Bus Radio-Frequency Communication System (Bus RF Comm) will contain all the necessary subsystems to provide appropriate performance to meet CubeSat missions, while meeting cost objectives, ideally with flight heritage. Standard subsystems include: power, communications, magnetic-torque coils, a sun sensor, and command and data handling. To enhance interoperability with other major subsystems and reduce lifecycle integration costs, the Bus RF Comm will comply with the Kill Vehicle Open Modular Architecture (KVMOA) standard.
