Design and manufacturing of nano satellite frame

Abstract

Currently, small spacecraft and their constellations are increasingly used in the rocket and space industry due to several their advantages. A version of a nano satellite frame made by a method of composite three-dimensional printing is presented in the research. A finite element analysis, a comparison of a designed structure with an aluminium analogue, and an economic substantiation of the proposed method for manufacturing the nano satellite frame have been carried out.
