The TEAMSAT Experience

TEAMSAT's Data-Handling Systems

S. Habinc et al.

Twenty-five weeks from project approval to the delivery of two working, flightworthy spacecraft data-handling systems did not, during the feasibility study, seem possible to fulfil. However, due to staff dedication combined with some calculated risk-taking and the availability of the ESA Telemetry and Telecommand chipset, a working data-handling system including ground segment was already available six weeks prior to TEAMSAT’s shipment to Kourou.
