FABRICATION AND TESTING FOR NANOSATELLITE DEPLOYABLE MECHANISMS

This paper deals with the deployable mechanisms of nanosatellite like an antenna, Ccubesat deployer. A suitable communication antenna as per the CubeSat standard was considered for QB50. The design and deploying mechanism was modeled. A suitable mechanical design was incorporated to deploy the antennas once in orbit. Also, a CAD model of the Cubesat deployedr for the Ccubesat as per QB50 standards is modeled by using SOLIDWORKS soft. This CAD model is to be subjected to vibrational analysis using ANSYS software to ensure that the CubeSat deployedr could withstand the launching conditions. The FEA simulation analysis provides information on the performance of the CubeSat deployer at different static, dynamic and environments. Keywords: Cubesat Deployer & Vibration Analysis
