TupperSats：空间系统工程的盒子里思考
TupperSats: Thinking Inside the Box for Space Systems Engineering
摘要：
作为都柏林大学空间科学与技术硕士课程的一部分，学生团队在一个学期的课程中，设计，建造，发射（在气象气球上），在标准化平台上操作和回收自己的有效载荷。每个“TupperSat”必须由家用塑料存储容器制成，重量必须小于1公斤，能够确定位置，高度，内部和外部温度和气压，并能够使用内部通信系统广播这些信息。学生还必须设计和建造科学有效载荷或新技术演示，以在TupperSat上飞行。值得注意的例子包括地球观测植被传感器，粒子样本返回，伽马射线探测器和气囊着陆系统。讲师扮演客户和发布权威的角色。为学生提供了许多标准组件，包括Raspberry Pi单板计算机，5000 mAH电池，高海拔兼容GPS单元，温度和压力传感器，以及专门为基于LoRa标准的课程开发的小型低功耗无线电收发器模块。团队获得100欧元（115美元）的预算，用于购买额外的材料和建造有效载荷。学生通过完全沉浸在典型的空间项目开发周期中来学习空间工业实践。TupperSat的设计和有效载荷概念由学生团队在初步设计审查中提出;计划在关键设计审查之前得到很好的发展，团队必须在获得发射许可之前通过飞行准备审查。良好的项目管理是至关重要的，以满足最后期限，并确保在学期结束时推出。随着学生参与的增加，该模块已被修改，以允许更雄心勃勃和更具挑战性的项目，进一步激励学生。
英文摘要：
As part of University College Dublin's MSc in Space Science & Technology curriculum, student teams, over the course of a single term, design, build, launch (on a meteorological balloon), operate and recover their own payload on a standardised platform. Each 'TupperSat' must be built from, or contained within, a household plastic storage container, It must weigh less than 1kg, be able to determine location, altitude, internal and external temperature and air pressure, and be able to broadcast this information using an in-house communications system. Students must also design and build a scientific payload or novel technology demonstration to fly on their TupperSat. Notable examples include an earth observation vegetation sensor, particle sample return, gamma-ray detector, and air-bag landing system. The instructors play the role of customer and launch authority. The students are provided with a number of standard components including a Raspberry Pi single-board computer, a 5000 mAH battery, high-altitude-compatible GPS unit, temperature and pressure sensors and, a small low-power radio transceiver module developed specifically for the course based on the LoRa standard. Teams are given a budget of EUR 100 ($115) to purchase additional materials and to build their payload. The students learn space industry practices by full immersion in a typical space project development cycle. TupperSat design and payload concepts are pitched by the student teams at a Preliminary Design Review; plans are well developed before a Critical Design Review, and the team must pass a Flight Readiness Review before being granted permission to launch. Good project management is crucial in order to meet deadlines and secure a launch at the end of the term. As student participation has grown, the module has been modified to allow for more ambitious and challenging projects which further motivates the students.
