This support is mounted on the face −X. This conguration is possible thanks to the<br />

restricted dimensions of the support (as shown in Figure 2.8).<br />

Indeed, as already mentioned, the CubeSat standard requires that the access port area<br />

will not be obstructed. However, in our case, the only port which would be obstructed is<br />

the port used for the MHX transceiver (as shown in Figure 2.9). And, as it was already<br />

mentioned, <strong>OUFTI</strong>-1 does not use this function of the FM 430. So, there is no problem to<br />

put the antenna support at this place.<br />

The xing method is the same as for the solar panels. The support will be glued on<br />

the skeleton using epoxy Stycast 2850 (with catalyst 24 LV).<br />

To maintain the attitude of <strong>OUFTI</strong>-1, a control system is needed. This one is managed<br />

by the Attitude Determination and Control System (ADCS) subsystem [25].<br />
