In this work, the author explains how Failure Detection, Isolation and Recovery (FDIR) capabilities are realized for the university small satellite Flying Laptop developed at the University of Stuttgart, Germany. Challenges and restrictions are introduced and taken into account to establish FDIR for a single failure-tolerant satellite that shall perform multi-angular Earth observation and serve as a hands-on education platform for current and future space system students.
