cubesat ARM-IT

cubesat ARM-k1 specs basic concept : design scalable and flexibile reduce parts, height dimensions for FDM, material costs, errors ... increase self production of FDM custon solar panel, experimental ... fixing system: without screws alternative fixing system use screws for standard solar panels the two twin elements skeleton are glued to seal them permanently internal: fit for pc104 form factor with in mind arduino and raspberry PI satellite experiment building process: fused deposition modeling for ease access to tecnology and a chance for experiment material for skeleton: nylon + carbon fiber is required high precision (+-0.04mm) , rigidity and not flexibility material for shell panel and U connector: nylon is required medium precision (+-0.08mm) and medium flexibility post treatment : verify and correct contact zone of the two skeleton elements metallization in high vacuum to estract oxigen from pieces 1U parts: 2 skeleton + 4 shell panel 2U parts: 4 skeleton + 8 shell panel + 1 connector 3U parts: 6 skeleton + 12 shell panel + 2 connector NOTE: about the twin skeleton elements of 1U are similar exept in the hole area of fixing zone for pc104 tabs volume for all two elements = 70 cubic centimeters
