Overview
• Response to NASA CubeSat Launch Initiative
• Software defined radio payload (ADSB Extender)
Goal
• Create a simplistic CubeSat structure
• Use as a tangible model to build the internal systems within
Requirements
• Simplistic machining
• Include mounting points for PC/104 boards
• Skeleton dimensions slightly smaller than standard 10cm cube
Next Step
• Implement railings onto the structure
• Implement solar panel mounting points
• Refine wall thickness and add any needed strengthening
