consider the possibility of oshoring the protection circuit of the batteries on one<br />
electronic card and, in this case, the card with least components is the xEPS. The<br />
last two cards are managed by the student in charge of EPS and xEPS subsystems.<br />
• Finally, the Telecommunication (COM) card is placed on the top of the satellite, close<br />
to the end plate. This card is managed by students in charge of the COM subsystem<br />
([28] and [29]).<br />
Schematics and exact dimensions of each of these cards are available in appendix B,<br />
such as the available volume for each of them.<br />
Each of the components presented in this section, is separated from the others by spacers,<br />
made of Al − 6061 T 6, with variable dimensions (4 mm, 15 mm and 19 mm). The<br />
whole is xed to the main structure with the help of 4 M3 × 8 cm stainless steel endless<br />
screws, which are screwed on the base plate. On the other end of these screws, there are<br />
four midplane standos [30], made of Al −6061 T 6, that allow to connect the screws to the<br />
chassis. These midplane standos are also xed using M3 nuts. Schematics and pictures<br />
of these xations are available in appendix C.<br />
Pictures of the engineering models of each of these cards are available in Figure 2.19.<br />
