| Sumario: | The reduction in size of satellite platforms has democratized access to space, significantly increasing the number of small satellites orbiting the Earth. These platforms offer advantages over traditional monolithic missions, but their reduced size constrains performance and limits mission capabilities. This dissertation addresses the novel concept of Federated Satellite Systems (FSS) as a cooperative strategy among small satellites, evaluating the deployment of FSS among PocketQubes. It contributes to the PoCat-Lektron mission conducted at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) NanoSatLab, accepted in the Fly Your Satellite (FYS) program. The contribution is focused on the two main FSS protocols (OSADP and FeDeCoP) and their integration with the On-Board Computer (OBC) and Communications modules. Additionally, this dissertation presents an extension of the Distributed Satellite System Simulator (DSS-SIM), which is currently being developed and maintained at i2CAT, enhancing its capabilities by enabling the integration of hardware-in-the-loop into the simulation tool. |
