Team

A new team was put in place in late February 2008, working closely with Systems. Currently Robert Gmeiner is working on the satellite structure.

August 2008 Design review document completed

Inputs edit inputs

To: Structure - Area - The total area that your component will cover. Necessary to determine total base area requirements and also to make a judgement of height combined with data on volume and mass.
To: Structure - Volume - The volume occupied by your component. Necessary to determine height of CubeSat. Height is the only quantity we can alter within the basic structure of the satellite.
To: Structure - Mass - The mass, along with the location of your component defines changes to the centre of mass of the satellite.
To: Structure - Heat - Some components generate heat during operation.
To: Structure - Location - You can provide this by means of design drawings as to where you'd like your components to be located within the 10cmx10cm base space that we are provided with.

Environments edit environments

On: Structure - Launch vibrations - What is the typical profile of launch vibrations? Need to consider how to create structure to survive vibrations and how to mount other components of satellite to structure so that satelite is operable in orbit.
