Strucutral Testing
Shaker-Table Adapter​
For the test facility (probably Maxon) we need an adapter. The adapter should follow the rules metioned in the Instar Engineering Handbook. We decided to not fully enclose it: easier to manufacture, can analyze the satellite minimally constrained or with the same constrained as P-Pod (from a visual inspection the rigidity mostly comes from the rails of the ExoPod)
Sensor Placement​
For a detailed overview please refer to Sharepoint-Folder 09_Testing>EQM-Team or a Leas/Janik
| Component | Sensor Type | Placement |
|---|---|---|
| Frame | Triaxial | Same Height as ADCSCube |
| Top Panel | Triaxial | Next to sensor |
| SATNOGS-board | Triaxial | In Middle ontop of radiation shield ? |
| OBC-board | Teardrop, Triaxial | in the middle, triaxial on thicker board |
| EPS-Board | Teardrop | in the middle of board |
| ADCS-Cube | Triaxial | middle ontop |
| UHF-Antenna-Release Mechanism | Teardrop | in the middle of an edge |
| Payload | Triaxial | In the middle (if space better in the box itself) |
| UHF-Antenna | Teardrop | ON PCB (is there enough space?) |
| S-Band Antenna | Teadrop | In the middle on bottom |
| GNSS-Antenna | Triaxial | in the middle on the outside |
| Sun sensor | Triaxial | ontop of sensor |
| Solar Panels | Triaxial | three sensors equally spaced |
| Side Panel | Triaxial | two sensors equally split |
| Reflector | Triaxial | ontop of sensor |
| Camera | Teardrop | ontop of camera |
| Earth Sensor | Teardrop | on the backside of sensor |
| CubeMag | Teardrop | on part with sensor, as its not deployed only one is necessary |
Sensor fixation​
This is a list of thermally conductive, adhesive epoxies that can be used to fixate the thermal sensors on the necessary components. All epoxies below pass NASA low outgassing tests. The tape that is used for the thermal sensor could also be used for the structural ones.
Todo: Dicuss with Maxon with thats possible.
