Research
1.0
Iso-Grid Height (See Iso-grid structure, Revision C for demonstration)
1.1
18.7
1.1.1
Pros
A larger Height allows for more room to be available for internal
components of the satellite. This allows for optimum payload size.
1.1.2
1.2
Cons
A larger Height would limit the height of surface mounted
hardware, including solar arrays on the top surface, opposite of
Lightband.
18 < Height < 18.2 inches
1.2.1 Pros
Allows for ½ inch composite to mount to the structure with solar
panels on top on the side opposite Lightband.
1.2.2 Cons
Slightly limits the size of internal components
1.3
1.3.1
1.3.2
2.0
Pros
There is excessive room for surface mounting of solar arrays.
Cons
Internal space is limited for payload
It was decided to use a height of 18.15 inches because it is felt this height allows
for the best balance of available room internally as well as externally.
2.1
Plenty of room within the satellite and large enough side panels to allow
for a larger payload
2.2
Good amount of room on the outside of the satellite between the satellite
and the 18.7 inch ceiling we have been required to fit within. This will
allow solar arrays on composites to be secured on the top surface of the
satellite.
