J.; Stellenbosch University. Faculty of Engineering. Dept. of Electrical & Electronic Engineering.ENGLISH SUMMARY: The communication structure of the current SUNSAT 1 micro satellite employs a parallel architecture, which consists of a number of different unique interfaces. The current system however has some undesirable properties, some of which are the high processor load and the amount of different interfaces that exist. For a next generation SUNSAT micro satellite the need arose for a new communication structure, which replaces the parallel structure with a network system. In this thesis the CAN (Controller Area Network) protocol is evaluated for implementation in a possible next generation communication system. Different systems are evaluated and the properties of each system are discussed.
