| Abstract | This paper outlines the design and implementation of Phase Two of the Command and Data Handling (CDH) unit for the WinCube project. WinCube is a multi-year, multi-disciplinary project conducted at the University of Manitoba in which students from different departments participate in the design of a CubeSat. The purpose of the WinCube project is to provide an opportunity for engineering students to design and implement a space-ready satellite. The project also acts as a vessel for a high school science experiment, which will run an experiment while in space, and relay results down to a satellite base station. The CDH unit must manage the operations and internal communications of the various units inside the satellite. This unit includes a power management application, serial communications protocols to relay information, and a trustworthy timing system. The power management application must monitor the state of the battery, the output of the solar panels, as well as control the amount of power provided to each of the primary units. Serial communications are used to interact with other devices on the satellite. Finally, an external real time clock and watchdog timer were used to enhance the reliability of the system. Special measures were taken to protect the CDH unit from the harsh operating environment and to monitor the health of the system beyond temperature and battery readings by performing periodic tests of components. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
