Abstract
This study presents an avionics and electrical system design using reliable, high-performance hardware and sensors for advanced scientific experimentation missions compatible with air-land-sea vehicle platforms, particularly nanosatellite platforms. The nanosatellite avionics, which has a real-time operating system that supports frequently used interfaces, processes and manages sensory and physical data based on a central processor. It executes all operations by defining IoT requirements and computing connection parameters for IoT applications. The modular design brought into the system provides both ease of access and integration into the target platform, and also provides reliable storage for telemetry and flight data. Through the IoT station, it reliably receives information from the satellite and transmits it to smart devices while maintaining the desired signal quality. Moreover, through processing the data obtained from the sensors, critical information such as instant detection and tracking of systems errors are transmitted to the cloud, and as a result, proper control can be provided regardless of location. This critical data obtained from the cloud is straightforwardly tracked by the software platform. This design will provide the space technologies inventory as the basis for a new satellite platform and a system design for researchers to further develop.
