0.5U ADCS Cubesat
MY DELIVERABLE (School Project)
- Use SolidWorks to design and manufacture a 0.5U ADCS Cubesat chasis
- This Involves creating fittings, and fastening methods for the reaction wheel motors.
CONSTRANTS
- Use formfactor baseplate dimensions provided by NASA AMES
- Fit motors and electronics in a 10x10x5cm volume
- 3D printed chasis due to funding
END GOAL
- Integrate our 0.5U ADCS into a NASA AMES 12U TechEdSat to be used as the ADCS system
FASTENING METHOD
- Implement heated threaded inserts into PLA Plastic

Radio Controlled Quadcopter Drone
MY DELIVERABLE (Personal Project)
- Use SolidWorks to design a chassis, arms, legs, and landing gear
- Use a 3D printer to print the chassis, arm, legs, and landing gear
- Integrate power supply, motors, ESCs (electronic speed controllers), flight computer, GPS, and RF transmitter.
- Soldered power supply, voltage regulator, and ESCs (electronic speed controllers) to the power distribution board.
CONSTRANTS
- Limited to a 25cm x 25cm printing bed
END GOAL
- Design, build, and integrate a radio controlled quadcopter drone.
