The CubeSat Simulator https://github.com/alanbjohnston/CubeSatSim/wiki is a low cost satellite emulator that runs on solar panels and batteries, transmits UHF radio telemetry, has a 3D printed frame, and can be extended by additional sensors and modules. This project is sponsored by the not-for-profit [Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation, AMSAT®](https://amsat.org).
There are several hardware versions and software branches to go with them - see below for information.
See the Wiki Software Install page for more details: https://github.com/alanbjohnston/CubeSatSim/wiki/Software-Install. To build and run the software on a Raspberry Pi 3B, 3B+, or Pi Zero W (doesn't work on Pi 4 since rpitx doesn't work on it yet):

Older Versions
There are several versions of the hardware and software to go with them:
- The original design used a Digital Transceiver Board for the Raspberry Pi (DigitalTxRxRPi) and APRS AFSK 1200 bps telemetry only. Use the aprs-digitaltxrx branch for this and the vB2 wiki page https://github.com/alanbjohnston/CubeSatSim/wiki/vB2-Home
- An updated design that used the Transmitter/Filter Board (TFB) instead of the the Transceiver Board. For the same APRS AFSK telemetry, use the aprs-rpitx branch and the vB3 wiki page https://github.com/alanbjohnston/CubeSatSim/wiki/vB3-Home. Note that this hardware can still use the master code branch.
