Structural Base for CUBESAT

grabcad

A robust foundation for the 4 rails is necessary, offering simple accessibility to panels with minimal weight; panel mount surfaces should not be solid, but rather mostly hollowed out for weight reduction and only as thick as required. The part would ideally be printed after determining board locations and incorporating cutouts into it. If needed, covers can be added prior to launch. This design may have benefits, particularly for long CubeSats, as circuit boards could be extended in length; they can also be widened by cutting through adjacent walls while staying on the same surface.
