Satellite
grabcad
The CAD model of our cylindrical satellite, designed by a 5-member team for an Aerospace Vehicle Design course at IIST, aims to deflect Near Earth Asteroid 99942 Apophis using gravity tractor method to prevent a hypothetical collision with Earth. The outer structure considers launch vehicle flight load envelope. It contains propellant tanks (MMH, N2O4 and Xe for Ion Engine NSTAR), helium tanks (for pressure-fed liquid engine), main engine, and solar arrays - all with actual dimensions. However, not every required component is made and assembled due to time constraints, fatigue, and laziness. Feel free to ask about any design aspect.
