thingiverse

You've heard of the CubeSat, now get ready for the TubeSat! This innovative project is taking shape as a school assignment, with the ultimate goal of making this payload flight-ready. At its core, the payload features a Geiger counter instrument nestled in the center tube, designed to detect radiation levels. To test the effectiveness of water as a radiation shield, the space surrounding the inner tube will be filled with water. The walls of the tubes are coated with epoxy resin to prevent any leaks from occurring. This compact design measures 5 inches tall and 3.5 inches wide. Stay tuned for further updates! Update: April 9th, 2019 A new lid has been added, featuring a hole for wires and a groove to secure the inner tube in place. Update: April 2nd, 2019 A model fit for a lid has been created, with the lid fitting snugly inside the outer shell. An interior tube has also been added to house various sensors.
