Picosatellites are small, low cost satellites that are designed with the philosophy that sending many small, inexpensive satellites into space is cheaper and more effective than sending one large satellite. The goal of this project was to design a Picosatellite capable of taking magnetic field readings and sending the readings wirelessly to a base station. The team designed, fabricated, and tested a working Picosatellite mock-up to provide a proof-of-concept for the project goal. A base station was also built to receive the satellite data.
