Nodes is a technology demonstration mission that will launch from the International Space Station (ISS) in early 2015 and will demonstrate new network capabilities critical to the operation of swarms of multiple spacecraft. Nodes continues the legacy of the PhoneSat series of small satellites that first introduced and successfully implemented the use of Android Smartphone technology to perform many of the spacecraft functions previously accomplished through custom technology development efforts. The Nodes mission consists of two 1.5-unit (1.5U) nanosatellites each weighing approximately 2 kilograms (4 pounds) and measuring 10 centimeters by 10 centimeters by 15 centimeters. The Nodes spacecraft are derived from the hardware and software developed for the EDSN (Edison Demonstration of Smallsat Networks) mission (a swarm of eight spacecraft). Each Node utilizes the Android operating system with EDSN-specific software programmed to perform command and data handling tasks that allow the satellites to 1) relay ground commands through one satellite to the second satellite, 2) collect and relay science data from each satellite to the ground station, and 3) autonomously determine which of the two satellites is best suited to control the space network and relay data to the ground (“Captain”) and notify the ground system and second satellite (“Lieutenant”) of the result.
