Resumen
Since the launch of Sputnik I in 1957, the satellite industry has experienced great technological advances. Initially, the resources for satellite missions were concentrated on
large commercial entities and government organizations. However, by offering a low-cost
solution with shorter development time, the CubeSat standard allowed several institutions and organizations to be able to develop missions with nanosatellites. In Brazil, the
Northeast Regional Center (CRN) of the National Institute of Space Research (INPE)
has developed, along with the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN), the
CONASAT project with the objective of developing a constellation of nanosatellites to
the Brazilian Environmental Data Collection System (SBCDA). Currently, it has been
developed the CubeSat called CONASAT-0 (first of the constellation), which needs the
implementation of an on-board control system capable of meeting requirements of the
CONASAT project. In this context, this work presents the first version of the on-board
control system for CONASAT-0. Moreover, in this dissertation are presented the tests
performed with the developed system and the results obtained. Finally, propositions for
future works are presented.
