## Mission Context & Goals

The **SCRT Climate Science CubeSat** is a low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellite designed to capture high-resolution imagery and scientific data for climate science research.
The **OSUSat Climate Science CubeSat** is a low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellite designed to capture high-resolution imagery and scientific data for climate science research.

### Mission Objectives
1. **Earth Observations**: Capture multispectral or high-resolution imagery using a dual-camera payload to study atmospheric conditions, cloud formations, and regional surface changes.
2. **Reliable Power Delivery (EPS)**: Harvest solar power from 6 body-mounted solar panels, manage charge for 4x 18650 Li-ion batteries, and regulate power rails to prevent overcurrent/overvoltage events.
3. **Command & Telemetry (OBC)**: Orchestrate system operations, manage communication buses (UART, CANBus, I2C, SPI), process ground commands, and monitor satellite health.
