Abstract

This paper details a register-based software framework specifically designed to enhance the simplicity, flexibility, and robustness of CubeSat missions, with a particular focus on applications within Thailand's evolving space sector. The core of this framework is a register-based architecture that simplifies the complexity of satellite software, making it more accessible while maintaining high flexibility and efficiency for space applications. Crucially, this framework incorporates robust features such as Fault Detection, Isolation, and Recovery (FDIR) and triple redundancy, which are vital for ensuring operational reliability in the challenging space environment. These enhancements significantly reduce development time and costs, and improve the adaptability of CubeSats to diverse mission requirements. The results, demonstrated on the NARIT-Cube1 satellite platform, showcases how this register-based approach can streamline CubeSat development, fostering innovation and contributing to the global CubeSat community while supporting Thailand's technological and educational advancements in space exploration.
