Summary

The Alén Space TRISKEL is an OBC and TTC solution in a single motherboard with optional closed OBSW for predefined platforms, based on ECSS/ESA PUS standard, or an SDK based on FreeRTOS for custom development.

It is integrated into a single PC104 module and based on a Cortex-M7 microcontroller for both the OBC and TTC.

The system also has different types of sensors integrated to monitor the satellite's voltage, current, temperature sensors, and inertial measurement unit (IMU).

Along with several other functions, the TRISKEL-OBC can also control 3-axis magnetic torquers through PWM signals.

TRISKEL-TTC includes the frontend for UHF with an output power of 30dBm.
