Figure 2.17: Pictures of the ADCS components [25] 2.3.5 Electronic cards and battery support OUFTI-1 disposes of ve electronic cards. These cards are all based on the P C 104 standard [26]. The particularity of this standard is the P C 104 connector. This device, with 104 pins welded on it, allows a direct connection between all the cards of OUFTI-1. The PCBs are all made of Flame Resistant (FR) 4 that belongs to the class of Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastic (GFRP) material. The conguration for these cards, shown in Figure 2.18, is based on the following requirements: • The FM 430 card is placed in the bottom of the satellite, because it is on this card that the access ports are placed. So, these ports have to be placed in front of the holes of the chassis provided for this purpose, which are situated on the base plate. • The OBC 2 card is placed just above the FM 430 card. The reason is that these two cards have to communicate continuously so, to avoid a complicate cabling path, they are placed as close as possible one from the other. These two cards are managed by the student in charge of the OBC subsystem [27]. • Then, we choose to integrate the EPS card, because it is on this card that there is most components and, consequently, it is the card with the greatest mass. So, its location aects seriously the position of the CoG and, to respect the CubeSat standard requirement on the CoG location, it is better to place it as close as possible from the CubeSat geometric center. • For the same reason, the battery support comes next. Further detail will be available on chapter 3. • The fourth card is the xEPS one. The reason is the same that one for the two OBC cards (these cards have to be linked by several wires). However, in addition, we 32
