3D Engineering drawings for Solar Sail Cub Sat based on existing design
Four Solar Sail that are folded and expanded via a system of telescoping system (telescoping rods) and
retractable coil spring mechanism.
Telescoping rods are attached to a Gimbal Mechanism (or Universal Joints) and after they are fully deployed
retractable coil spring mechanism is triggered and one fully expanded solar sail is approximately 3m2 in size
Solar sails are based on 6U (10cm*60cm) CubSat however another 2U cubes can be added to the front and end to place electronic components and motors for a final size of 10U (10cm *100cm)
Solar sails are packed/folded within metal sheets of 50cm * 5cm, all together 6 metals sheets, connected via flexible hinges made of polymer
Project will require 10 mins of video call to go over existing images and 3d drawing to make sure we are on the same page in terms of final output required
Pls only apply after reading the project description and if you have engineering/product/prototype design experience and a portfolio you can share
Project budget is USD 200, it could have been higher, but I already did most of the core design work myself
I also have a 3D stl file I can share if required
