Development of a Graphical Interface for Communication with CubeSat Space Protocol-Based Cards: Telemetry Reception Results

A graphical user interface is proposed to facilitate telemetry collection and configuration set-up for CubeSat Space Protocol-compatible nanosatellites during their testing and assembly stage. The graphical user interface connects to the various subsystems of the nanosatellite through a module that functions as a gateway. The graphical user interface is written in Python and Qt. Python is an interpreted high-level language compatible with Linux systems, and Qt is a multi-platform graphical user interface development framework. Through the graphical user interface, telemetry from the various satellite modules can be collected.
