Development of Structural Subsystem of a 3U Cubesat

Project Title

Development of Structural Subsystem of a 3U Cubesat

Project Area of Specialization Mechanical EngineeringProject Summary

The project deals with all the steps of a general project from planning to testing. 3U CubeSats, also known as nanosatellites are spacecraft developed for research purposes. In this project, the CAD model for the structural subsystem will be designed and tested for the final structure. The analyses involved are static, dynamic and vibrational. 

Project Objectives

To design a complete detailed CAD model of ‘3U CubeSat’ using CAD software like Solid- works or Catia or Creo parameter.
Create an effective theoretical calculation analysis for designing of CubeSat. 
3D printing is used for the sample model of CubeSat. 
Software simulation of the designed model for structural analysis and dynamic analysis.
Fabrication of CubeSat satellite.
Vibrational testing (Acoustic and Vaccum) [optional]
