Mission Payload Integration:

Mission payload integration is a pivotal step in the CubeSat assembly process, regardless of your level of expertise. The mission payload encompasses the scientific instruments and devices that will carry out experiments, capture data, or perform specific tasks during the CubeSat’s mission in space.

During this phase, you’ll learn to securely mount and configure the mission payload within the CubeSat structure. This involves careful attention to detail to ensure proper alignment and functionality of each instrument. Whether you’re installing cameras, spectrometers, or communication devices, the goal is to integrate the payload effectively to maximize the success of the mission.

Subsystem Installation:

Subsystem installation is another crucial aspect of CubeSat assembly, applicable to learners at any level. Subsystems include essential components like power systems, communication systems, and attitude control systems, which are vital for the CubeSat’s operation and functionality in space.

During this phase, you’ll gain hands-on experience with installing and configuring each subsystem. This may involve connecting solar panels, batteries, antennas, and other components to ensure proper functionality and integration.
