This book represents the Flight Operations Manual for a reusable microsatellite platform - the "Future Low-cost Platform" (FLP), developed at the University of Stuttgart, Germany. It provides a basic insight on the onboard software functions, the core data handling system and on the power, communications, attitude control and thermal subsystem of the platform. Onboard failure detection, isolation and recovery functions are treated in detail.
