4 Introducing The ubo kit is a satellite you can build yourself. This guide will give you all the information you need to assemble, code and operate your ubo. After that, it s up to you. Welcome to space!

5 We ve included a suite of sensors for you to learn about the fundamentals of satellite design. After that you can use the kit to develop your own mission concepts. Use the inertial measurement unit, temperature sensor or light sensors to monitor the satellite state and broadcast it back to the ground. Design your own experiments using the Proto-Sense Board to prototype your own hardware on-board your ubo. Fly your satellite and broadcast the data to the ground via UHF radio.

6 context: Introducing the UBO kit and its applications WorldView-3 MINIATURISATION OF SATELLITES 1m Pleiades-1A SkySat Dove UBO The satellite is built with the same capability as a larger satellite but on a smaller scale. The satellite has on board a Proto-sense board which allows you to add a payload (an module of your choice to measure something of your choice.) 5x5x5 cm

7 The miniaturisation of satellites has allowed increased innovation and accessibility to new entrants and users. The miniaturisation has happened due to the need for making our personal gizmos more compact and affordable. Researchers have taken advantage by using these electronics for satellites. Now there is less risk associated with a mission launch. the cost of launching and building a small satellite is considerably less compared to its predecessors in orbit. This is mostly because larger satellites need a dedicated launcher. Small satellites can piggyback on other missions to get into orbit.
