The HYPSO-3 mission is the planned follow-up for the HYPSO-1 and 2 satellites. HYPSO-1 was launched in January 2022, and HYPSO-2 will be launched in 2024. HYPSO-3 will feature a newer on-board processing platform, as well as several hyper-spectral instruments to collect hyperspectral data across the world.  This next generation of satellites from the NTNU SmallSat Lab will be based on the same code architecture that the HYPSO-1 payload uses today, but several adaptations must be made to accomodate more instruments and the new SoC platfrom (Xilinx Ultrascale). In this project you will identify the needs for future generation satellites that employ optical sensors, possibly also radio systems, familiarize with the operational environment, and suggest and implement improvements for the payload software.  The current core of the HYPSO satellites has some existing code and programming strategies that could benefit from your help.
