Background Material

Example Calculations

Much of this material was reviewed with the stakeholders and the IPT at the Sprint 1 Stand Up 3 meeting

Online Forms

Online forms are useful for one off calculations, source code/math not necessarily available to Mach 30.

Spreadsheets

Spreadsheets require the correct software to run (typically MS Excel), but Mach 30 can investigate the implementation to use as a source for porting to Python library.

Video Tutorials

These vidoes are proof of concept video tutorials, and will be replaced with a more polished version as time permits.

Selected Link Budget Source Document

The Ground Sphere Mk 3 team has decided to build its Python Link Budget library on the calculations used in the KickSat Ground Station Link Budget. This spreadsheet includes nearly all of the required transmission effects and has been verified by comparing its results to manual calculations.
