High Altitude Reporter (HAR)

HAR is named after the Norse god HÁR, the Norse god of knowledge whose name means "high." It seemed fitting then that we name our main onboard computer HAR. HAR is used to gather data, store data, transmit data, and perform other housekeeping needs to keep the spacecraft functional through all stages of flight.

Electrical Specification

HAR is the primary avionics system for all HABET missions. It provides a processing system, sensors, and communication functions to support all spacecraft missions.

Electrical Overview

For all HABET missions, a few key things are needed to carry out a successful mission. To be successful, we need to have a system that allows us to track the spacecraft, communicate with the spacecraft, process sensor data, and manage power.

Generally speaking, Power and some sort of data management is usually the bare minimum needed for most payloads. However, many payloads either benefit or require the additional items listed. Therefore, Athena was designed with all of the items listed. As of the date of this document, the following features are currently provided.

FeatureSpecification

Questions

How big is the CluePCB PCB?

It measures 78.7 × 81.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the CluePCB use?

11 parts. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the CluePCB KiCad files?

From the M2I-HABET/HAR repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/CluePCB.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb/CluePCB.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the CluePCB design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask M2I-HABET before reusing the design.
