The PyCubed is essentially the brain of the satellite. It is a circuit board specially made (at Stanford!) for use with satellites. It is responsible for controlling things like the radio used to command the satellite and has sensors on the board to detect the satellite orientation (with the IMU) and the position (with GPS). It is written in CircuitPython, a variant of python written for use with microcontrollers. We have a board that we can use for development as well as other microcontrollers that are compatible with Circuit Python, so everyone can get their hands dirty!
