Projects
- EduSat: Kleinsatellit als Chance für Fach-, Semesterübergreifende und interdisziplinäre Lehre
- Das Projekt EduSat fördert die intrinsische Motivation der Studierenden, indem es innovative Lehrinhalte in Elektrotechnik und Informatik durch die Entwicklung eines CubeSat vermittelt. Studierende aus verschiedenen Studiengängen arbeiten semester- und fachübergreifend an allen Phasen des Projekts, von der Konzeption bis zum Testen des Satelliten. Das Projekt ist in Primär- und Sekundärmissionen unterteilt, wobei sich die Primärmission auf die On-Board-Avionik (Raumfahrtelektronik) konzentriert und durch die aktive Beteiligung von Studierenden aus Elektrotechnik, Informatik, Mathematik und anderen Fachbereichen der TUHH eine breite Wirkung erzielt.
- SatelLight: SatelLight
- The SatelLight project addresses the challenges of internal communications within a satellite. Research is being conducted into how LiFi - data transmission via light - can be used to replace cable harnesses and make communications more secure, robust and reliable.
- AuRelia: Autonomous and Reliable SCG-Sensor System for Human Space Exploration
- The AuRelia project addresses challenges of health sensors for lunar missions with strong sensor autonomy and extremely high reliability. It focuses on SCG (Seismocardiography) sensors and serves as a foundation for further fundamental research on SCG, marking the first investigation into artifact formation on SCG.
- SArES: SArES - SCG-Sensorsystem für Artemis II Experiment SpacePatch
- SArES is making an important contribution to future SCG sensor systems for monitoring the health of astronauts. In particular, SArES research will focus on local data backup and a hardware, firmware and software system tailored to the Artemis mission as a flight-capable system.
- RISA: RISA - Reliability Investigation of Low Power FPGAs for Space Applications
- RISA (Reliability Investigation of Low Power FPGAs for Space Applications) is a small payload for the PLUTO technology demonstrator satellite. In particular, RISA tests the suitability of low-power FPGAs for use in space missions and evaluates mechanisms for detecting errors. RISA payload will provide important findings for the reliable use of LP FPGAs in space environments.
- BEAT: (Wireless Compose 2) BEAT - Ballistocardiography for Extraterrestrial Applications and Long-Term Missions
- The BEAT experiment performed on the ISS is investigating ballistocardiography as a method for inconspicuous and resource-saving long-term monitoring of cardiovascular function.
Past Projects
- TRIPLE-nanoAUV: Building access to outer planetary oceans
- TRIPLE stands for – Technologies for Rapid Ice Penetration and subglacial Lake Exploration.
- REAP: Robuste, energieeffiziente drahtlose Sensornetze für realistische Außeneinsatzszenarien durch Adaption von Betriebs-Parametern (DFG: BU 3282/2-1)
- Monitoring the changing environmental conditions allows to benefit from the systems dynamics. Realistic models for energy and reliability will be derived from these measurements. Combined with the knowledge about the characteristics of the nodes in the network, this information can, e.g., be used for routing decisions, task scheduling, and processing within the network.
- PotatoNet: Outdoor Testbed zur Evaluation drahtloser Sensornetze unter realen Umgebungsbedingungen
- Das PotatoNet ist ein Versuchsaufbau, welcher es erlaubt Hardware und Routingprotokolle von selbstentwickelten Sensorknoten unter realen, zum Teil extremen, Betriebsbedingungen zu untersuchen.
- INGA: Inexpensive Node for General Applications
- INGA is an open source wireless sensor node for anything. INGA was developed at IBR (TU Braunschweig) as Inexpensive Node for General Applications and is used in numerous projects. The motivation to develop INGA was driven by the need for a reasonable, cheap and expandable node for several use cases.
- 5GSatOpt: Building access to outer planetary oceans
- Das Projekt 5GSatOpt behandelt die Integration von Satellitenkonstellationen kleiner Satelliten mit 5G.

Error-correcting code between file system and SPI Flash to secure data storage
Typ: Forschungsprojekt
Status: offen
Supervisors: Ulf Kulau
Project: AuRelia
Small sensor systems often have a local mass memory for archiving recorded measurement data. This data can be conveniently organized using a file system. However, under radiation conditions in particular, errors can occur in the form of bit flips, which corrupt both the file system and the data itself. For this reason, an intermediate layer is to be implemented in this project work, which is to secure all data on the flash using error-correcting codes (specifically: Reed-Solomon code). In addition to the implementation, an extensive performance evaluation will be carried out along with thorough documentation of the git repo and reporting in an IEEE format.

Evaluation von Undervolting auf LP FPGAs
Typ: Masterarbeit
Status: abgeschlossen
Supervisors: Ulf Kulau
Bearbeiter: Lucas Bublitz (abgegeben: 30. Oct 2022)
In dieser Arbeit soll grundlegend untersucht werden, in weit es möglich ist Low Power FPGAs unterhalb ihrer spezifizierten Spannung betreiben zu können. Um dies eingehend untersuchen zu können, muss eine Testbench entwickelt und evaluiert werden, welche hohe Präzision und Robustheit gegenüber bspw. Temperatureinflüssen erfüllen muss. Eine abschließende Messkampagne soll erste Ergebnisse bezüglich der Machbarkeit von Undervolting auf LP FPGAs zeigen.

Integration and Evaluation of an Online BCG Compression Core into a RISC-V Softcore
Typ: Masterarbeit
Status: abgeschlossen
Supervisors: Ulf Kulau
A significant advantage of softcores is that one can implement and connect one's own hardware accelerators alongside them. In this thesis this will be done with a compression kernel, which allows the online compression of BCG data and is integrated into a Risc-V softcore. A final evaluation will reveal advantages and disadvantages.
