Welcome to the payload subteam! The payload of a satellite [does this]. Our payloads for our recent satellites have largely focused on camera systems.

Welcome to the payload subteam! The payload often defines the mission of the satellite, so it's basically the most important part :) These payloads can be anything from telescopes like Hubble to communications like Starlink. Our recent satellites have largely focused on low-cost camera systems and radio modules. This subteam covers a huge variety of topics, so no matter your interests definitely join the Slack and reach out!

Our current project is the development of a multi-camera system for the SAMWISE mission. This system is based on the Raspberry Pi architecture and will include an Earth-facing camera, a star tracker used in conjunction with our ADCS system, and a selfie camera!

Our current projects are developing a multi-camera system and a higher speed radio module for the SAMWISE mission. This system is based on the Raspberry Pi architecture and will include an Earth-facing camera, a star tracker used in conjunction with our ADCS system, and a selfie camera! The higher speed radio will allow us to more quickly send images back down to Earth.
    
In our ''Sapling'' missions, the payloads consisted of a Google Coral Dev Board Mini computer and a Google Coral Camera. These payloads were selected to demonstrate on-orbit image processing and selection using an AI filter. This process would allow the Google Coral to select a single "best" image out of a series of images taken, reducing the amount of data needed to be transmitted down to Earth.
