The project
'Multi-functional integration of miniaturized satellite components for
increased payload capacity of pico-satellites' deals with the research
and development of satellite components for CubeSats.
Combining
satellite components to form compact modules shall increase the
possible payload capacities of pico-satellites. Three key
components-solar cells, a magnetic coil, and a sun sensor-were merged
successfully to a multi-functional component in previous
studies.

Based on this previous success, a higher degree of
integration will be achieved by further developments while
simultaneously optimizing the individual components. Therefore, basic
studies on the integration of a patch antenna and a novel
fluid-dynamic actuator are undertaken. Special attention is paid to
the possible interaction processes and the attainable degree of
miniaturization of the individual components. This research serves the
goal of creating a system of highly efficient
multifunctional
modules to increase the payload capacity for
pico-satellites.
