ESTCube-1 is a one-unit Cube Sat, which will perform an electric solar wind sail experiment. The development process of the CDHS for ESTCube-1 was focused on robustness and fault tolerance. A combination of hot and cold hardware redundancy was implemented. Software, including a custom-written internal communications protocol, was designed to increase the system's fault tolerance further by providing fault detection and fall-back procedures. Tests were carried out to validate the implementation's performance and physical endurance. The final CDHS design is operational within the set requirements. Tests that verify fault tolerance of the system in orbit are suggested.
