| contents | In this work, the SiPiC (SiPM Pinhole Camera) Payload is detailed. This Payload will potentially be integrated in two distinct satellite missions, which will operate in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) and in a High Altitude Orbit (HAO), respectively. The SiPiC Payload has two main objectives: to test Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPMs) as visible light sensors for stimuli originating from Earth; and to perform an in-orbit validation (IOV) of the new generation of PC104-compliant LabOSat subsystems. Preliminary measurements of the Payload's operational capabilities are performed and discussed. These include payload telemetry analysis, Field-of-View tests for the Earth imaging SiPM subsystem, and performance evaluations of the new LabOSat modules for known devices under test. The measured Angular Field of View (AFOV) for the light gathering SiPM subsystem is $(6.2 \pm 0.5)^{\mathrm{o}}$, which results in a FOV of $(4333 \pm 350)$ km on the surface of the Earth at 40000 km altitude and $(54 \pm 5)$ km at 500 km altitude. |
