Overview of Satellite Design
1. Introduction Design and development of satellite is a challenging tasks, at one hand it involves the team effort of multiple disciplines and on the other designers need to ensure that satellite will be able to withstand and survive the harsh environment including temperature extremes, radiations, shocks, vibration during launch etc. Till today thousands of satellites have been launched for various applications such as Weather Forecasting, Television Broadcasting, Communications, Internet Communications, Navigation, and Remote Sensing etc. For any kind of satellite three components are required Launcher (means to send it to desired orbit) Satellite itself Ground Station (means to control satellite and receive its data) The brochure at hand gives an overview of satellite design and various aspects that need to be considered. Simplified block diagram of a satellite is given below:

Solar cells along with batteries are commonly used. Receives command from ground, demodulates them and send to data handling unit. Similarly it transmits payload and engineering data to ground station. Command & Data handling monitors on-board equipment operations and is responsible for handling data. AOCS keeps satellite in correct orientation. It consists of sensors (Horizon Sensor, Sun Sensor, Star Sensor, GPS etc ), actuators (Gravity Gradient Boom, Magneto Torquers, Momentum Wheel, Reaction Wheel, etc) and processor with controlling algorithms for correction. Thermal Subsystem Payload Maintains temperature of all equipment within allowable limits. It may use coatings, insulation blankets, heat pipes or by using active techniques such as heaters, louvers etc Payloads may be for Remote Sensing, Experimental instruments, Communications. Generally they involve image acquisition, digitizing, compression, encoding, processing, modulation, amplification, filteration and communication.
