ABSTRACT: ITU-pSAT I is the first student designed pico-satellite of Turkey to be launched in 2008 as a part of the international CubeSat program. It carries two experimental payloads; a low-resolution camera with onboard image pre-processing, and passive magnetic stabilization with a magnetic rod accompanied by a sensor board to examine its performance. The design philosophy of pSAT I aims for a reliable and simple bus that is also expandable. In this work, we give an overview of the on-going Engineering Model development, provide insight to the satellite's subsystems and introduce the established Space Systems Development and Testing Laboratory.
