piADSB-NG/FM (Flight Model)

Space-Friendly™ CubeSat ADS-B Receiver

The piADSB-NG is a Next Generation CubeSat ADS-B Air Traffic Control (ATC) Receiver based on freely available 1090ES Squitters transmitted from aircrafts. The next generation RF chain with Improved Demodulator Sensitivity, Telemetry Engine and Squitter Counter with an ASCII output via serial UART channel is a compact solution including antenna array with No Deployables!

Train your ATC skills, build and run your own private Constellation for Aircraft Monitoring from Space or build an experimental Search and Rescue Space-based Node as an Univesity project. All possible now with piADSB-NG!

piADSB-NG/EM (Engineering Model)

As the Space-based long distance (free space loss -148dB @ 1090MHz, 550 km range) ADS-B link budget is set to be extremely tight (~ -90 to -100dBm level only! at the 550 km slant range signal level with 750W transponder), a special care have to be taken to the EMC/EMI environment in order to maximize the receiver sensitivity yield.

To test whether the satellite bus subsystems, flatsat or satellite qualification model (magnetorquers, MPPT solar controllers, DC/DC converters, transmitters, mixers, local oscillators, etc.) are not affecting the piADSB-NG system noisefloor, the Engineering Model grade with identical electrical and RF properties is available. It is highly recommended to run the test before the flight and observe whether the fully operational satellite is not limiting the maximum available range/frame rate in open space or using ADS-B 1090 MHz squitter test signal generator.
