I plan to use a PC/104 SBC running Linux in my CubeSat, and Im not sure I want / need the Flight Module. Can I remove it to save weight?
The Flight module performs several functions in addition to being the home of the Flight MCU. The Remove-Before Flight switch and MHX transceiver are mounted to it. Additionally, there is not enough room to mount a PC/104-sized module in Slot 0. Therefore you should probably keep the Flight Module, and consider assigning it another role (perhaps that of a system supervisor or backup processor) outside of the functionality you plan to implement on your Linux SBC.
