Floating Satellite with Ultrasonic Radar Payload for Debris Detection

An educational platform designed for assessing and testing control algorithms for pico and nanosatellites in a near-frictionless environment is presented. The system provides access to test different space application algorithms. The application provides here is the debris detection mission for space surveillance. Different payloads are added on FloatSat, integrated with the Real-Time operating system (RODOS) and STM32F407G as the main controller to detect the debris around the satellite in a specific range.
