Mechanical Team

1) What does mechanical do?

The mechanical team is responsible for the design, manufacturing, and testing of the mechanical structure of the satellite, along with the deployment mechanism. It's divided into structural and thermal subsections of the team.

2) Key objectives

  1. Manufacturing a reliable structure for all internal and external components

  2. Incorporate deployment switches, deployable systems, hardware, and fasteners

  3. Integrate with the NRCSD (NanoRacks CubeSat Deployer) and fulfill all CSA and NRCSD requirements for the launch

  4. Determine operational temperature and heat management for the satellite

3) Team projects

  1. Design a mechanical structure for the payload and hardware which also fulfills the CSA and NRCSD requirements

  2. Organize the location and mounting of solar panels

  3. Deployment switches to isolate the satellite battery system before flight

  4. Analysis and validation for all potential mechanical stresses, including vibration and stress stimulations
