What: Modify the existing hyperion hinge design to fit within the envelope required for Ex alta 3. See the envelope below:

Note the 9mm x 84mm protrusions. With the inclusion of surface mount solar panels the available depth is actually closer to 7mm. This is the volume that the hinges must function within. This is a modification task and should not require a full redesign of the hinge. If it is found that the existing hinge design cannot feasibly fit in the prescribed envelope this should be reported.

Why: It is crucial that a traditional hinge design is prepared for integration of the satellite as it is currently assumed that this will be the design that flies.
