Deployment and Intelligent Nanosatellite

Operations (DINO)

Colorado Space Grant Consortium 2


DINO’s Mission Statement

The purpose of the student-led Deployment and Intelligent Nanosatellite Operations (DINO) mission is to determine cloud

heights from space, evaluate the performance of intelligent operations, and

assess deployment technologies for nanosatellites including a gravity-gradient

boom, memory composite hinges, and thin-film solar arrays.



DINO’s Mission Objectives• Deployment Objectives

– Demonstrate MicroSat’s Foldable Integrated Thin-Film Stiffened (FITS) solar arrays

– Demonstrate Composite Technology Development’s Elastic Memory Composite (EMC) hinges

– Evaluate the deployment of a gravity-gradient boom• Operations Objectives

– Demonstrate MicroSat’s thin-film solar cells– Demonstrate Ball’s power system– Demonstrate wireless communication between the primary satellite and the tip

mass• Intelligent Operations Objectives

– Demonstrate autonomous scheduling, planning, execution, and rescheduling– Onboard evaluation of science and engineering data

• Science Objectives– Measure cloud heights

• Education Objectives– Educate students to design, build, and operate small satellites– Educate K-12 students about science and engineering using DINO



DINO’s Configuration

• 25-kg primary satellite• 5-kg tip mass• 6-m static boom• One FITS deployable

solar array out back• Two aerofins on the sides• Two science cameras• Etc…

Meetings for the Semester

• Team Meetings will be held once a week– All team members are required to go to their team’s meeting

• Systems Meetings will be held once a week– Team leads are required to attend and everyone else is welcome

• General Meetings– These will occur when needed– Special topics will be covered at these meetings like

Configuration Management– One representative from each team is required to attend and

then report at their team meeting– Meeting Minutes and the presentation that was given will be

available on the website http://spacegrant.colorado.edu/dino



Beginning of Semester Tasks

• Determine how many more people are needed on your team.

• Schedule a time to meet with Jen to go over your team’s detailed schedule.

• Determine when your team’s weekly meetings are.

• Get Jen your schedule of the semester if you haven’t already.

• Input your schedule into http://calendar.colorado.edu



Semester Timeline

• February 9-13: Subsystem Progress Check• March 8-12: Critical Design Review• April 19-23: End of Semester Peer Review• May – June: Subsystem Delivery• July: Integration Starts



New Students

• A new student orientation will be held based on the schedules given to me

• Talk to your team lead and get started• If you don’t have a team lead, talk to Jen• Explore the DINO website
