Performances of MINISAT-01 Platform Subsystems

Abstract

This paper describes the results of the MINISAT-01mission after two year in orbit since the launch on April 21^st of1997. It also describes the MINISAT-01 behavior during these years anddescribes, the evolution of the Satellite, by subsystems. Graphics of themost important parameters will be shown to display the difference betweenthe beginning of life and two years after.The paper details the most important events during the Satellite's life suchas the battery overcharge, temperature evolution, onboard computer reset,software updating, and communication failures.
