Background

While operating, there are several possible states that the satellite may be experiencing. These are:

  1. Safe Mode - An error has occurred, and we want to pause peripheral operations until we can diagnose and correct the issue.
  2. Science Mode - Data is being collected.
  3. Uplink/Downlink - The satellite is communicating with the ground station, either receiving or transmitting information.

The image shown above details which parts of the payload should receive power under each operational mode.
