The NMSUSat is part of the AFRL/NASA University Nanosatellite program. The constellation will consist of a main microsatellite that will have a command link from ground and a telemetry link to ground while a picosatellite will act as a sensor reporting data to the microsatellite. Innovative command and data handling will be incorporated at low cost and greater accessibility. In this paper we present the necessary communications and control architecture for the space segment and the ground segment of the nanosatellite.Sponsors
