Mechanical Ground Support Equipment

• TBD

FlatSat

• What Equipment on flatsat will eventually become flight hardware:
• Note this image is out of date, some components have been removed from the design

Testing Plan

Methodology

• Most testing should be automated without need for human intervention.
• Computer will be communicating with an OBC via JTAG
• Moving parts will not be automated in to prevent damage to the components or surrounding setup

Critical Sections to Test

• Antenna Release mechanism
• 30 minute timer
• Camera Early Turn on Mechanism

People Resources

CubeSat Club Members

• Safety training, bringing up to speed on project
• Assembly and Integration training
• Extra hands on demonstration model under team leads

Graduate Students

• Team Leads
• Double check subsystem work
• Interface with other subsystems

Capstone Teams

• Design Work
• Initial testing
• Test plans
• Manufacturing plans
• Inspection protocols

Lab Environment for Spacecraft Assembly

• Thompson Engineering Building Room 6
• Will have a self contained cube of some sort
• Needs sticky matt outside
• Needs a sink somewhere nearby
• Solder stations inside
• Used for cubesat assembly
