Abstract
One of the most pivotal challenges faced while developing space systems is the need for a high level of technology and to expend a substantial amount of money in order for achieving such technical knowledge. This has led to the development of space products being costly and time-consuming. One progressive approach to evolving space systems is the exploitation of commercial subsystems and components in order to abate the costs and the time required for technological development to occur. In the present research, the development of a Nanosatellite by the exploitation of commercial smartphones’ capabilities as a platform for reducing the technological development costs and time is studied. To that end, a ground setup similar to a test table with the aim of integrating the satellite’s software and hardware architecture is developed. The results demonstrate that the use of a smartphone as the central core and flight computer of a satellite is capable of diminishing the pertaining costs and time, and also the number of design loops to be followed in order for developing a satellite.
