CubeSats are becoming a game changer in the space industry. Appearing first for univer-sity mission, its popularity is increasing for commercial use and for deep space missionssuch as the on HERA mission that will orbit in 2026 around an asteroid as part of aplanetary defence mission. Standardisation and industrial collaboration is key to a fastdevelopment, assuring the product quality and lower development expenditures.In this study the focus is set elaborating a low cost demonstrator platform to be usedfor developing and testing onboard software on physical hardware: a Hardware-Softwaretesting facility. The purpose of such a platform is to create an interactive and accessibleenvironment for developing on board software. The application chosen to be elaboratedon this platform is a module the subsystem of attitude and orbit control of the satelliteorbiting around asteroid.In order to create this platform the simulation of the asteroid environment of theCubeSat has been made using open source software libraries. During this task the per-formance of open source libraries has been compared to commercial alternatives. In thedevelopment of simulation different orbit perturbations have been studied by modellingthe asteroid as a cube or spheroid and additionally the effect of a third perturbing bodyand radiation pressure.As part of this project two microcontroller have been set up communicating using acommunication bus and communication protocols used for space applications to simulatehow the attitude and orbit control is commanded inside the CubeSat.
