PCB board

PCB board - heart of the satellite

The PCB is mechanically matched to the satellite structure. Its elements are selected in such a way as to ensure correct working in a wide temperature range and in unfavorable conditions prevailing in orbit. The heart of the board is the STM32 microcontroller ensuring low power consumption and high computing power.

The plate is connected to IMU sensors – an accelerometer, a magnetometer, gyroscope and a thermometer. It is thanks to the data from these sensors that we will know the current position of the satellite and find out if our experiment is successful.

Experiment control

KRAKsat board is directly connected to experiment system: it controls the power of electromagnets that creates the movement of ferrofluid flywheel.
