Design, Manufacture, Dynamic Testing, And Finite Element Analysis Of A Composite 6u Cubesat, Yanina Soledad Hallak
Master's Theses
CubeSats, specially the 6U standard, is nowadays the tendency where many developers point towards. The upscaling size of the standard and payloads entail the increase of the satellite overall mass. Composite materials have demonstrated the ability to fulfill expectations like reducing structural masses, having been applied to different types of spacecraft, including small satellites.
This Thesis is focused on designing, manufacturing, and dynamic testing of a 6U CubeSat made of carbon fiber, fiberglass, and aluminum.
The main objective of this study was obtaining a mass reduction of a 6U CubeSat structure, maintaining the stiffness and strength. Considering the thermal effects …
