CubeSat Project Using ESP32: Advanced Satellite for Telemetry and Remote Access

The CubeSat Project Using ESP32 integrates several hardware modules onto a dotted PCB and a custom 3D-printed frame to simulate a functional low-orbit satellite system. At the core of the electronics is the ESP32 development board, which runs custom source code to host a local web server and process data gathered from various connected sensors. Positional tracking and navigation data are supplied by the NEO-6M GPS module, while orientation and movement tracking are handled by the MPU6050 gyro sensor module via I2C communication. To monitor power consumption and system health, an INA219 current sensor tracks electrical parameters, backed by a BMS board and three 18650 lithium-ion batteries configured to provide mobile, untethered power. Voltage levels across the system are stabilized using two buck converters to ensure the ESP32 and sensitive sensors receive appropriate, regulated power. Pin headers, pin sockets, and screw terminals facilitate secure electrical connections throughout the modular perf board layout. Once powered on, the ESP32 connects via Wi-Fi to serve telemetry data directly to a remote browser interface, allowing users to monitor live sensor feeds, GPS coordinates, and power metrics over a local network.
