The Flying Laptop is a micro satellite currently under development by the Institute of Space Systems Präsentation / Vortrag micro-Systems. Two mission objectives are pursued. First, serval promising technologies will be implemented. A high agile attitude control system with a pointing knowledge better than 7 arcseconds, operating in a target pointing mode for image acquisition is necessary to achieve the planned scientific measurements. For communication a high speed Ka-band link using a travelling wave tube will be utilized. The on-board computer consists of a reconfigurable, redundant and self-controlling field programmable gate array (FPGA) with high parallel computational power. Second, the Flying Laptop will perform earth observation and is equipped with camera payloads operating in the visible and near infrared spectral range as well as in the thermal region. In all spectral regions the Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function (BRDF) and the Temperature Directional Distribution Function (TDD) respectively will be measured using the target pointing mode. In addition, the transmission of the Ka-band signals due to presence of rain in the intervening atmosphere.
