Development of back-plane connector board for VELOX-Lyon-1 Student CubeSat

CubeSats are a type of miniature satellite typically classified as nanosatellites and are usually used for space science research. They follow a standardized dimension and are often built with non-space parts and commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components for cost effectiveness. It is normally built...
