Activity Report - Structures Milestones, Tasks, and Health Report
Milestones - Structures Fabricate parts To complete this Milestone: • All parts must be fabricated within NanoRacks tolerances • Hard anodize (Liberty anodizing) Assemble Structure To complete this Milestone: • All parts must be cleaned and integrated. • Environment: Anti-static, clean room.
PROJECT Review - Structures Overview
Project Overview - structures • Finalized design are within tolerances and verified • Stationing of electrical components are finalized • Manufacturing of SDR & Payload braces are in progress • Finalized Solar panel layout • Secondary payload braces • Modified SDR assembly • Copper plate(PCB) between radio & Low Noise Amplifier
PROJECT Review - structures Constraints
Project Review - structures Final Design
Final Design - structures • Meets requirementsConfirmed from CAD fit with NanoRacks Deployer. • All parts are designed • Manufacturing in Progress • Passed structural analysis • Supports other subsystems • Under the Mass budget limit
Project Review - structures Future Work
Proposed Changes - structures • Reduced length of threaded rods. • Top plate cutout for antenna screw clearance • Bottom plate cut out for wiring • Redesigned solar array layout • Added Cu layered PCB board • Spacing between components for wiring.

Activity Report - Communications Milestones, Tasks, and Health Report
Milestones - Communications • Assemble, test, and integrate Ground Station and radio • To Complete this milestone: • Provide data from orbital simulations • Work with ground station staff and HABET to assemble ground station • Test radio and ground station to ensure mission readiness • Integrate radio with rest of satellite • Complete all regulation work • To complete this milestone: • Finish all regulation work on time • Stay in touch with all regulatory bodies • Be prepared for any new forms
Project Health Report - Communications • Green, Yellow, Red. This is an honest assessment on how the project is doing currently
PROJECT Review - Communications Overview
Project Overview - Communications • Radio: • Commercial off the shelf (COTS) • EnduroSat UHF Transceiver II • 9600 baud rate • GFSK modulation Source: endurosat.com
Project overview: communications (cont'd) • Ground Station • Handles all comms between Earth and Cysat • Utilizes rotor in design to maximize comms time • Use HRD for elevation, azimuth, and doppler shift
PROJECT Review - Communications Constraints
Design Constraints - Communications • Limited power budget-limited data rate • Data cannot be encrypted/altered in any way • No images can be sent • Radio is limited to a frequency of 436.375 MHz
Project Review - Communications Final Design
Final Design - Communications • Commercial off the shelf radio produced by EnduroSat • Data will be transferred at 9600 baud • GFSK modulation • Ground station will be using HRD for tracking and Doppler shift
Final design - ADCS • COTS purchased from Cubespace • Created Excel sheets for 488 team • Breaks down each TC command • Using 5 sun sensors instead of 6 • Coarse Sun Sensors are not critical • Detumbling mostly relies on Magnetometer • Building MATLAB State-flow charts as fail-safe • Power supplied to Y-Wheel motor through converter board Source: cubesatshop.com
Project Review - Communications Future Work
Proposed Changes - Communications • The ADCS will be using 5 sun sensors instead of 6 • No other changes are being proposed at this time
Project Review - Communications Encountered Risks
Design Risks - Communications • Radio does not connect with ground station (High) • Mitigations: Testing radio with dummy load • Testing ground station by pinging signal off ISS • Integration is not completed in time (Medium) • Mitigations: Having a consistent schedule of work over the summer • Transferring all documentation to the summer files on Cybox • Regulation documents are not successfully completed (Low) • Mitigations: Staying on top of new documents sent to us • Writing Documents thoroughly and promptly
