Abstract

Outer space is such a mysterious place, full of questions, and we humans tend to seek for the answers. That’s why human develop space exploration. From this development, satellite was born. The development of satellite alone help human in many ways. Satellite has become a device that very important to human in so many fields. Nowadays, satellite has evolved, to smaller size, and cheaper in price. It is called CubeSat. A CubeSat is a small cube with size of 1U which is 10cm x 10cm x 10 cm, and consist of power supply, on-board controller, payload and transmitter. On-board data handling helps to control the satellite automatically. It also helps a satellite to gather various data from payload and collect information about the condition of the satellite. There’s a lot of data handling being developed right now such as Arduino, Raspberry Pi and Basic-X24. Arduino and Basic X-24 widely used in CubeSat on-board data handling but Raspberry Pi still in development. Raspberry Pi hold a lot of potential to become one of the on-board data handling for CubeSat. There’s only a few of CubeSat that contain Raspberry Pi that really go to space such as Pi-Sat. Raspberry Pi can be said a lot more powerful in term of processing power but has a few problems in the development to launch in space because Raspberry Pi not generally build to go to space. Raspberry Pi always need a modification to sustain harsh environment of space.
