This innovative design features six flat-printed aluminum plates that are easily assembled with screws, similar to folding origami. The interior accommodates six 75mm x 80mm PCBs with scientific instruments, supported by racks and a spacer rod. Three control moment gyroscope motors can be added for rotation control, as well as a patch antenna in the interface plate. Solar panels or antennas can be installed on any side. Made of aircraft-grade aluminum, this 10cm cube structure weighs approximately 0.8 kg including PCBs. The modular system offers flexibility by allowing customization with various functional options such as PCB racks, gyroscope mounts, and antenna interfaces for satellite 3D printing.
