April 28, 2008 — Another CubeSat Kit Launched into Space
|
TU Delft's Delfi-C3 CubeSat was successfully launched into space today via PSLV-C9. Telemetry has been acquired and decoded, and the nanosatellite is functioning properly. Delfi-C3 is based on a Rev C 3U solid-wall CubeSat Kit. Click here to view the CubeSat Kit's track record in space. |
April 9-11, 2008 — At CubeSat Developers' Workshop in Cal Poly
|
The CubeSat Kit will again be well represented at the 2008 CubeSat Developers' Workshop. Many CubeSat Kit users will also be attending, along with Pumpkin's Andrew Kalman and Adam Reif. Dr. Kalman's presentation is entitled "Development Opportunities within the CubeSat Kit Architecture " and will take place from 11:25 to 11:35 on Wednesday, April 9, in Technical Session I. This presentation is available online in various formats. Mr. Reif will moderate the Track A: Structure Technical Interchange Session from 14:00 to 15:30 on Friday, April 11. All of the workshop's presentations are now available online, courtesy Cal Poly. |
March 17, 2008 — 1U Skeletonized Chassis Assembly 3D CAD Models now Online
|
The 3D CAD model updates continue. Rev B, Rev C and Rev D 3D CAD models for the 1U skeletonized CubeSat Kit Chassis Assembly are now online. Note that most CubeSat Kit solid-wall chassis components are now deprecated and are available only by special order. This is due to the skeletonized components' substantially lower mass. Solid-wall Cover Plate Assemblies (703-00295) are available as an off-the-shelf item for CubeSat Kit customers who need more material to e.g. mount various items to a CubeSat Kit Cover Plate. |
March 11, 2008— Payload and ADACS Interface 3D CAD Models now Online
|
As part of our update to the CubeSat Kit's 3D CAD models, models for the ADACS Interface Module, the Payload Adapter Plate and the Payload Cover Plate are now online. |
