The CPU acts as the brain of the spacecraft's computer system, executing commands and processing data.

RAM provides the memory space for the CPU to store and access data quickly while performing tasks.

Used to store software, data, and mission information that can be preserved between power cycles.

Converts electrical power from the solar panels or batteries to the correct voltage and current to run the spacecraft systems.

Handles the execution of commands to spacecraft subsystems and the collection and storage of operational data.

Allow the spacecraft to communicate with ground stations, relaying commands, data, and status reports.

Maintains the temperature of the computer systems within acceptable limits.

Controls the spacecraft’s orientation and orbit path using various sensors and actuators.

Manages the generation, storage, and distribution of electrical power from sources like solar panels and batteries.

Responsible for determining the spacecraft's trajectory and position, and executing maneuvers to follow the desired path.

The software that provides the instructions for all on-board systems to operate and interact.

Collect and transmit data on the health and performance of spacecraft systems to ground control.

Involves using backup systems and components to prevent mission failure in case of a malfunction.

Operate robotic arms or rovers, allowing for the manipulation of objects, collection of samples, or repairs.
