== Sequoia 2019-Present 🌲 ==<br />
Sequoia is an open-source, 3U CubeSat that will demonstrate on-board image classification and processing with updateable machine learning models. The goal of the project is to obtain a high volume of scientifically important imagery for ecological and climatology research. Researchers many times have no need of images saturated with clouds or uninteresting areas—so why not filter them out with convolutional neural networks? We will retrain Sequoia’s deep learning with images taken by the satellite, uplinking improvements. The Stanford Student Space Initiative is developing deep learning models for forest fire risk assessment and detection and a number of other applications. The mission architecture is user definable with the operator specifying desirable image locations or types and resolutions, and the satellite maximizing delivery of fully open-source images. <br />
<br />
Here's our [https://github.com/stanford-ssi/Sequoia in-progress github] (not in any finalized state) for the project. A full public project rundown of all systems, code, and designs will be released before we launch.<br />
<br />
== Past Projects ==<br />
The principal work of Stanford Satellite Team has been the development of various [[Optical Communications]] technologies. [[POINTR]], a 1U segment of a 3U cubesat launched in 2018 but never conected with ground control due to improper oribit insertion from the launch provider. <br />
<br />
In addition, members have worked in Stanford faculty labs to build:<br />
<br />
*[https://space.skyrocket.de/doc_sdat/snaps.htm SNAPS], the Stanford NAno Picture Satellite, a 1/4U imaging cubesat deployed from the ISS in 2016<br />
*[https://space.skyrocket.de/doc_sdat/qbus-3.htm QB50 Discovery], Stanford's submission to an international 50-member cubesat constellation<br />
*Morgana, a CubeSat designed to study high energy particles in the upper atmosphere. (Cancelled)<br />

<hr />
<div>Hello! There are a few things you need to do if you'd like to have full access to SSI's resources as a member.<br />
<br />
=Becoming an official member=<br />
<br />
# Fill out this 30-second form: [https://stanfordssi.org/q https://stanfordssi.org/q]<br />
# Join the SSI Slack [https://join.slack.com/t/ssi-teams/shared_invite/zt-gahlixrm-DyAtkyxTrUkt7K6HvPsxIA here].<br />
# Join the SSI mailing list [https://mailman.stanford.edu/mailman/listinfo/ssi_general here].<br />
# Pay dues ($10 in exchange for a t-shirt) to our financial officers via Venmo [https://venmo.com/stanfordssi @stanfordssi]. For questions/details or if dues present a financial hardship, message {{slack-user|Sophia Jones}}, {{slack-user|Anna Clark}}, {{slack-user|Tori}} or {{slack-user|Julia Thompson}}, and we'll waive them.<br />
# Once social distancing is not in effect—in order to allow you access to our workspace, [[End Station III]], you need to do the following things:<br />
##Log into [https://axess.sahr.stanford.edu/ AXESS] and click "STARS" at the top<br />
##Using either the "All Learning" list, or the Search Catalog, complete the following three safety trainings: '''EHS-4200: General Safety, Injury Prevention (IIPP), and Emergency Preparedness, EHS-1900: Chemical Safety for Laboratories, and EHS-2200: Compressed Gas Safety.''' If you've completed any of these previously for a laboratory class or other university purpose, you don't need to repeat them.<br />
##Some time after completion, you will receive an email for each of these (can take up to 24 hours) certifying your completion. Save each e-mail as a PDF, or, less preferably, screenshot it. This PDF or screenshot '''must''' have your name on it. Ask in {{slack-channel|welcome-to-ssi}} if you have questions about EH&S training - mentioning {{slack-user|mc-safety}} in your question will notify people who can help.<br />
##Sign into the [http://internal.stanfordssi.org internal site] using your Stanford email and under EH&S Safety Training, upload PDFs or screenshots proving your completion of the safety trainings.<br />
##Attend a safety tour of ES3. Ask in {{slack-channel|welcome-to-ssi}} to coordinate a time.<br />
##While in ES3, make sure to sign a copy of the Space Usage Agreement and leave it in the binder by the door. This is your record of completing the workspace safety tour.<br />
##Send a message in Slack to our workspace managers {{slack-user|timv}} or {{slack-user|Giulia Socolof}} that you've completed everything!<br />
<br />

<br />
== [https://ssi-teams.slack.com/ Slack] ==<br />
<br />
Slack is the lifeblood of SSI. It is a messaging client that allows everyone within SSI to communicate. There are general channels (like {{slack-channel|rockets}}), which allow us to push out general updates to everyone interested in the rockets team and direct messages which allows one to one or smaller group communication. Notifications are pushed directly to your phone/computer/anything that has internet so that way we can infringe on all of your free time!<br />
<br />
To see what a list of what channels there are to join, check out the [[Slack Directory]].<br />

==[https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=5or10qu0uhtfqcdqb3knrpn3r8@group.calendar.google.com&ctz=America/Los_Angeles SSI Calendar]==<br />
Home to all of our events across all our teams.<br />
<br />
== [https://stanfordssi.org/leadership SSI Leadership] ==<br />
Find out who's in charge of things you're interested in and contact them! You can find all of us on Slack as well.<br />
<br />
==The Wiki==<br />
<br />
This wiki is a great place to find guides, overviews, and generally useful documentation on SSI projects. Many of the most current plans and docs are in the drive though.<br />
<br />
==[https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B5ethK6WQZfAWXgtR25KOEloN2M SSI Drive]==<br />
<br />
The drive contains a lot of important documentation for each team. We are trying to put more emphasis on using the wiki as a place for longer-term knowledge storage. <br />
<br />
== [https://stanfordssi.org/mailing-list The Mailing List] ==<br />
We use SSI General for organization-wide announcements, and it's a good way to hear about events that get lost in the depths of slack (Slack is still by and large the primary mode of communication for most of us though).<br />
<br />
== [[End Station III]] ==<br />
<br />
End Station III (also known as ES3) can be considered the temple to SSI’s religion, the hub, nerve center, or kernel of all project activity. End Station III houses work sessions, team meetings, and project storage. Keycard access is required to access the building.<br />

Avionics is electrical engineering for space. If you are new around here, check out our '''[[ Avionics Onboarding 2020 | 2020 onboarding page here]]'''!<br />
<br />
==On Boarding==<br />
Our on boarding process is a joint effort across the other SSI subteams. We plan on sending out kits to new members. You can find more info about that [https://wiki.stanfordssi.org/Avioncs_On_Boarding_2020 here]<br />

<br />
==Subsystems==<br />
<br />
===Structures===<br />
The Sequoia CubeSat bus is being developed with COTS components and simple manufacturing techniques for cheap scalability. Our primary frame consists of four 6061 aluminum angle iron pieces joined by accurate, cheap laser-cut sheet components. Protolabs generously supplied the manufacturing for this project. The secondary structures incorporate 3D printed nylon, giving us lightweight, highly customizable mounting options. The frame was simulated to a 5x safety factor given the vibration, shock, and static loads placed on it to ensure adequate strength. <br />
<br />
===Avionics===<br />
Sequoia utilizes the PyCubed flight computer, developed and flight proven by the Robotic Exploration Lab at Stanford University. PyCubed and its dual watchdog timers will command a Raspberry Pi 4b running Linux for image classification and processing. PyCubed was chosen because of its open-source nature, careful COTS design paradigm, and popularity amongst CubeSat developers. PyCubed's use of CircuitPython, while at times challenging to work with, drives reliability over top-level spacecraft command and increases the probability of mission success. The power system relies on triple junction space grade solar panels for energy capture. Sequoia will use a 2S4P battery configuration, with COTS Lithium Ion cells. Sequoia will have two communications systems—a UHF LoRa radio with an omnidirectional dipole antenna for command and control, and a custom S-band with a directed antenna for imagery and large data downlink.<br />
<br />
===Software===<br />
Sequoia's software systems are logically split into two areas. There is a flight computer, the PyCubed, which controls all the low-level flight control functionality, including receiving commands from the ground, downlinking telemetry, running most GNC algorithms, controlling the power systems, and supervising our payload. The payload is a Raspberry Pi SoC that is equipped with three cameras and an S-Band radio. It collects images, processes them using ML models specific to a given research objective, and downlinks the results and images over its high-bandwidth radio.<br />

The power system relies on triple junction space grade solar panels for energy capture. Sequoia will use a 2S4P battery configuration, with COTS Lithium Ion cells. Sequoia will have two communications systems—a UHF LoRa radio with an omnidirectional dipole antenna for command and control, and a custom S-band with a directed antenna for imagery and large data downlink.<br />

<div>[https://damicos.people.stanford.edu/sites/g/files/sbiybj2226/f/ieeeaero2018_tayloretal.pdf Polar Orbiting INfrared Tracking Receiver] (POINTR). POINTR is an in flight demonstration of an optical receiver pointing, acquisition and tracking (PAT) system. The optical receiver payload hosted on Audacy’s 3U cubesat would be pointed to the ground to acquire and track a beacon laser sent from a suitable ground facility, currently proposed as NASA JPL’s OCTL facility. This mission would demonstrate the operational and technical requirements related to two satellites establishing an optical communications link with each other. The requirements include mission planning, command and execution of a pointing maneuver, acquisition of an incoming optical signal and tracking of the optical signal. This mission can be broken into four main goals:<br />
<br />
* Demonstrate a subset of technology for full bidirectional optical communications mission within the constraints placed by Audacy’s primary mission.<br />
<br />
* Increase chance of bidirectional optical communications mission success.<br />
<br />
* Develop experience within SSI designing and building space hardware.<br />
<br />
* Contribute to the cubesat and satellite optical communications technical fields.<br />

== Sequoia 2019-Present 🌲 ==<br />
Sequoia is an open-source, 3U CubeSat that will demonstrate on-board image classification and processing with updateable machine learning models. The goal of the project is to obtain a high volume of scientifically important imagery for ecological and climatology research. Researchers many times have no need of images saturated with clouds or uninteresting areas—so why not filter them out with convolutional neural networks? We will retrain Sequoia’s deep learning with images taken by the satellite, uplinking improvements. The Stanford Student Space Initiative is developing deep learning models for forest fire risk assessment and detection and a number of other applications. The mission architecture is user definable with the operator specifying desirable image locations or types and resolutions, and the satellite maximizing delivery of fully open-source images. <br />
<br />
Here's our [https://github.com/stanford-ssi/Sequoia in-progress github] (not in any finalized state) for the project. A full public project rundown of all systems, code, and designs will be released before we launch.<br />
<br />
== Past Projects ==<br />
The principal work of Stanford Satellite Team has been the development of various [[Optical Communications]] technologies. [[POINTR]], a 1U segment of a 3U cubesat launched in 2018 but never conected with ground control due to improper oribit insertion from the launch provider. <br />
<br />
In addition, members have worked in Stanford faculty labs to build:<br />
<br />
*[https://space.skyrocket.de/doc_sdat/snaps.htm SNAPS], the Stanford NAno Picture Satellite, a 1/4U imaging cubesat deployed from the ISS in 2016<br />

The Stanford Student Space Initiative is developing deep learning models for forest fire risk assessment and detection and a number of other applications. The mission architecture is user definable with the operator specifying desirable image locations or types and resolutions, and the satellite maximizing delivery of fully open-source images. <br />
<br />
Here's our [https://github.com/stanford-ssi/Sequoia in-progress github] (not in any finalized state) for the project. A full public project rundown of all systems, code, and designs will be released before we launch.<br />
<br />
== Past Projects ==<br />
<br />
The principal work of Stanford Satellite Team has been the development of various Optical Communications technologies. In addition, members have worked in Stanford faculty labs to build:<br />
<br />
-SNAPS, the Stanford NAno Picture Satellite, a 1/4U imaging cubesat<br />
-QB50 Discovery, Stanford's submission to an international 50-member cubesat constellation<br />
-Morgana, a CubeSat designed to study high energy particles in the upper atmosphere. (Cancelled)<br />

Sequoia is an open-source, 3U CubeSat that will demonstrate on-board image classification and processing with updateable machine learning models. The goal of the project is to obtain a high volume of scientifically important imagery for ecological and climatology research. Researchers many times have no need of images saturated with clouds or uninteresting areas—so why not filter them out with convolutional neural networks? We will retrain Sequoia’s deep learning with images taken by the satellite, uplinking improvements. The Stanford Student Space Initiative is developing deep learning models for forest fire risk assessment and detection and a number of other applications.

<hr />
<div>== Looking for Structures Onboarding? ==<br />
Head over to this [https://wiki.stanfordssi.org/Satellite_Structures_Onboarding page]!<br />
<br />
== Designing Parts: A Simple Workflow ==<br />
First off, enter the Sequoia project on Fusion SSI team. This can be done by clicking your name in the upper left hand corner, after which a dropdown menu should appear. Select Stanford Student Space Initiative and then enter Sequoia Satellite.<br />
<br />
Now, you should see some files and some folders. We are interested in the 'parameters' to begin with. It contains satellite-wide dimensions (for example, rail dimensions and spacing, material thickness, and more) which any new part will need access to. To make a new file with access to these dimensions, open the parameters file, open the create menu and hit derive.<br />
<br />
[[File:deriving_parts.png|600px]]<br />
<br />
This will open up a dialogue asking what to derive to where. We will be creating a new part and copying over the parameters; select the same options as below. After hitting okay, it will open an empty, untitled file. However, if hit 'modify' then 'change parameters', it will open a dialogue which shows the imported global parameters after expanding the menu.<br />
<br />
[[File:Deriving_parts2.png|600px]]<br />
<br />
You can now click on the star icons on the left side of each of the global parameters. After clicking the icons the global parameters will show in the favorites table and you will be able to reference them by name.<br />
<br />
[[File:Deriving_parts3.png|600px]] <br />
<br />
Now, hack away and CAD up a new part! The global parameters can be used by simply typing in a dimension's name (with an appended _Ref) (with an equation if you like) (ex: 3 * rail_height_Ref). After that, save it in an appropriate subdirectory and it will automatically appear for everybody else.<br />
<br />
Sometimes, you may wish to make a part which is derived from another. In this case, open the file which acts as a base, and open the derive menu again. This time, under the Deriving selection, choose 'one component as design', and click on the part. It will also create a new file, but this time with the base geometry in it. As the base file gets updated, the derived part will too.<br />
<br />
== Details ==<br />
[[Design Objectives]]<br />
<br />
There are a few important design features which anything we create should be abide by.<br />
<br />
# Anything we make needs to be easily manufacturable. Practically, this means we should try to keep our parts either 3D printed (almost any geometry will fly, but the materials won't be as strong) or simple to make from metal. For the latter, this practically means machined from stock with only operations like drilling/milling holes or other shapes which can be cut with a standard 3 axis mill. If what that means is unclear, feel free to ping Connor and check out parts of the primary structure.<br />

<br />
Dr. D’Amico is a professor in the Aeronautics and Astronautics Department and the [[Satellites|Satellites Team]] Faculty Advisor. His work is in development of strategies for CubeSat formation flight. Prior to Stanford, he worked at DLR, where he was involved in several multi-satellite (not CubeSat) missions that involved precise relative alignment. His lab is attempting a formation CubeSat mission. This mission will likely be a telescope occulter system, in which one CubeSat acts as an imager and the other as the occulter.<br />
