This thesis consists in designing and testing the payload of a TubeSat low-cost satellite,
called CTSAT-1. Instead of spend large quantities of money to space research, this
picosatellite offers a very low-cost solution to provide answers for institutions investigations.
Designing and assembling a picosatellite of this size represents a big challenge due
to packing of a lot electronics and equipments inside TubeSat low dimensions, therefore
providing a unique efforts in reaching a complete small spacecraft.
To keep the budget of the project low as possible, maintaining TubeSat specifications
and space flight requirements, for intensive testing will be used homemade techniques
to achieve satisfactory results without spending too much on expensive equipment
