AMSAT-NA 18 preparing a new class of sat-ellite. Intended for low earth orbit (LEO). "MicroSat" will bring a new level of performance and flexibility to the satellite user community.MicroSat embodies bold advances in low-cost satellite engineering. A new approach to satellite flight computer design was required to attain mission objectives: low power. low cost. small volume and mass, high performance, high reliability, flexibility, significant mass data storage capability and high speed I/O.This paper focuses on the design of the flight computer hardware and outlines some of its capabilities.
