CHAPTER 10failure reasons. It’s also true that, without the D-STAR system, OUFTI-1 willbe useless as inaccessible by the amateur radio community: all the tests will betherefore performed to avoid such a kind of problem.Concerning the ground station, it will be installed in the University of Liègearea. It will be a traditional tracking station for simultaneous transmission andreception on the amateur radio frequencies and it will be connected with thealready existing D-STAR repeater of the university to exploit all the systemproperties, included the connection to the internet. A backup ground stationwill also be installed in the neighborhood: it main purpose is to track othersatellites but it can be used for OUFTI-1 if needed.A possible participation of this ground station to the GENSO (Global EducationalNetwork for Satellite Operations) network is also wished.Galli Stefania 104 University of Liège
CHAPTER11TESTSThe launch and space environment are extremely hard for the spacecraft: it isin fact subject to vibrations at different frequencies, vacuum and frequent thermalcycling. Given that, once in orbit, there is not any way to repair a damageon the satellite, we need to verify that all the components and the integratedsystem can survive to the external environment: the block of all these actionsconstitutes the test campaign. The tests usually performed on a satellite beforelaunch include mechanical test as vibrations and shocks, environmental tests asthermal vacuum and functional test as the electromagnetic compatibility. Thetests level and duration depends, on the one hand, on the test philosophy and,on the other hand, on the launcher specifications and on the space environmentexpected. We can then demonstrate some spacecraft function by testing somegroup on components: it is called verification test and typically includes theantennas and solar arrays deployment test.105
