Resource-constrained avionics design for CubeSats
We present an optimization approach to CubeSat avionics design which considers the consumption of some resources (electrical power, volume) and production of others (processing power, volatile memory, non-volatile memory, and radiation tolerance) in a quantitative optimization analysis. We present …
