Design Analysis of a New On-Board Computer for the LAICAnSat Platform

The present work describes the new requirements for LAICAnSat project, a high altitude platform (HAP) developed at University of Brasilia (UnB). An analysis of previous missions and a detailed comparison with respect to the previous OBC version is presented to assist with the design decision making. More specifically, a study of mission lifecycle is conducted to evaluate power consumption and a survey is carried out in order to estimate new power demands.
