CubeSat Design - JChopra

My CubeSat design showcases a unique and diverse approach, focusing on an attractive exterior instead of intricate internal technology. The structure has three distinct faces with multiple openings for wires and other components. This innovative design reduces material usage, resulting in cost efficiency. The top and bottom pieces can be unscrewed for easy access to the interior, allowing installation of communication and solar panel units. Manufacturing this part is straightforward through additive methods like fused deposition modeling or selective laser sintering, as it has no complex internals requiring additional processes. Brushed aluminum satin was chosen for its strength and weight balance, though alternatives such as plastics, carbon fiber, or graphene could be considered. No patent application has been filed for this design.
