Abstract

"The Space Systems Engineering Team at the University of Missouri-Rolla (UMR), in conjunction with a number of Air Force, NASA, and industry mentors, is working toward the design, development, and launch of its first satellite, UMR SAT (University of Missouri-Rolla Satellite). This thesis documents the design of the UMR SAT satellites, specifically focusing attention on the layout of all components, component boxes designed for containment and protection from electromagnetic interference and the attachment of components inside the boxes and the boxes to the structure. This thesis also discusses the development of UMR SAT with challenges faced in manufacturing and prototyping including integration and wiring practice along with assembly and integration procedures including necessary equipment and facilities"--Abstract, page iii.
