AB  - TRiplet Ionospheric Observatory-Cubesat for Ion, Neutral, Electron and MAgnetic fields (TRIO-CINEMA) is a space science mission consisting of three identical 3U CubeSats to provide stereo Energetic Neutral Atom (ENA) imaging of the ring current, multi-point in-situ measurement of supra thermal electrons and ions, and measurement of magnetic fields in Low Earth Orbit (LEO). Each spacecraft is equipped with a Supra Thermal Electrons, Ions, Neutrals (STEIN) instrument and a MAGnetometer from Imperial College (MAGIC) instrument in order to measure the plasma particles with diverse species and energies and magnetic fields. STEIN is able to distinguish electrons, ions, and neutrals by applying electric field in the entrance aperture. MAGIC is a dual 3-axis magnetoresistive sensor intended for attitude control and scientific measurement. The standard spacecraft CubeSat employed for the TRIO- CINEMA mission often utilizes Commercial-Off-The Shelf (COTS) electronics to build bus avionics that provides power and communications, whereas payloads are usually built in accordance with specific requirements that are often more demanding in terms of generation, transmission and storage of the data and power consumption. Therefore, designing and developing the interface to be compatible between mission payloads and the CubeSat avionics built with COTS will be required for many CubeSat missions. In this presentation, we describe the instrument interface module between the On-Board-Computer (OBC) and the mission payloads for TRIO-CINEMA spacecraft. The module is developed to provide required communication and power interfaces. In the instrument interface module, a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is employed to support computing power of the OBC and communication interfaces. It is exclusively operated as data buffer and framer for generated data from mission payloads and their subsequent transmission through S-band to the ground station. The interface module provides various elect
