CubeSat Structural Frame

NanoAvionics CubeSat Standard Structure has been developed as a generic, modular nanosatellite structure compliant with the CubeSat Design Specification. The design created allows CubeSat developers a high level of freedom in their spacecraft configuration. The framework is made from aluminum 7075-T7351, which ensures rigidity, lightweight, and durability. Frames have a modular internal layout, compatible with PC/104 stacks. Stacks are mounted on standard mounting rings and can be oriented on any of the three main axes.

Highlighted Features:
- Modular design for easy integration and accessibility
- All materials are non-magnetic
- Custom internal and external mounting interfaces
- Multiple circuit board sizes supported
- Compliant with CubeSat Standard and PC/104 Standard form factor
- Redundant kill switch mechanisms
- Threaded holes are reinforced with stainless steel inserts
- Standard structures are hard anodized black or natural according to CubeSat standard
- Possibility of coating in other colors
- Design customization on request
Environmental Testing:
To simulate the harsh conditions of launch to space, the frames have been exposed to several environmental tests:
- Shock Test (according to NASA GEVS 7000 standard)
- Vibration Test (according to NASA GEVS 7000 standard)
Configuration Options:
- 1U
- 2U
- 3U
- 6U
- 12U
- 16U
