Design of a terminal node controller hardware for CubeSat tracking applications

CubeSats enable low-cost experiment and missions to be performed by universities and research institution in space. CubeSats for research are mainly using UHF and VHF communications for its tracking and telemetry applications. The current practice of a CubeSat communications is to modify radio amate...
