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 />
