This book represents the Flight Operations Manual for a reusable
microsatellite platform – the “Future Low-cost Platform” (FLP),
developed at the University of Stuttgart, Germany. It provides a
basic insight on the onboard software functions, the core data
handling system and on the power, communications, attitude
control and thermal subsystem of the platform. Onboard failure
detection, isolation and recovery functions are treated in
detail. The platform is suited for satellites in the 50-150 kg
class and is baseline of the microsatellite “Flying Laptop” from
the University.

The book covers the essential information for ground operators to
controls an FLP-based satellite applying international command
and control standards (CCSDS and ECSS PUS).
