OuroboroSat: A Modular, CubeSat-Scale Instrumentation Platform

Abstract: OuroboroSat (also known as MRMSS: the Modular Rapidly Manufactured Spacecraft System) is a modular instrumentation platform consisting of multiple 3 inch (7.5 centimeter) square printed circuit boards that are mechanically and electrically connected to one another in order to produce a fully- functioning payload facility system. Each OuroboroSat module consists of a microcontroller, a battery, conditioning and monitoring circuitry for the battery, optional space for solar panels, and an expan…
