Abstract
Motes are low-cost COTS (commercial off-the-shelf) microchips, which integrate a processor, onboard sensor, RF communications link, and a power unit. High levels of power efficiency can be achieved with the use of the IEEE 802.15.4 protocol for communication between the motes, allowing long-term periods of operation for motes and reducing the power requirements of a spacecraft. The article examines the feasibility of using sensors for harness reduction between satellite subsystems, and for inter-satellite networking capabilities between satellite swarms.
