Interface development for ESTCube-2 cameras and plasma brake

Abstract

Conducting experiments and obtaining data is a crucial component of scientific space missions. To accomplish this, establishing reliable communication with all payloads is necessary. Nevertheless, at the beginning of the thesis, there was no integration in place to interface with the ESTCube-2 payloads. Furthermore, there was limited documentation available regarding communication with both the Earth Observation cameras and the plasma brake. During the thesis, the author created firmware for communicating with said payloads. Additionally, the author conducted thorough tests and verified that camera firmware
