User Story #1304
Updated by Saksham Verma about 1 year ago
Responsible: @doanthan
Accountable: @doanthan
Consulted: @agagelon , @Saksham4 , @harbaren
Informed: Mechanical Team
What: Assess the design #4 from the candidate selection document along with the EX2 mechanism as potential release mechanism solutions. To make an informed decision, we need more details regarding their integration capabilities with the satellite, costs, acceptable power usage, possible improvements and other relevant factors.
I need you to:
- Find out how much it costs to get all the parts required to put together both the solutions.
- List possible problems with the EX2 solution and if there are any straightforward fixes for that.
- Communicate with subsystems to ensure that values such as the actuation current, deployed force etc. meet our needs and are feasible.
- Also put together an indicative subassembly (doesn't need to have all exact components but should have representative dimensions) on OnShape and integrate them into the full assembly (in a new branch) in order to check how it would fit. Feel free to make changes to other parts in the assembly to make the release mechanisms fit but before doing so check with power, mechanical or other relevant subsytems if the changes you want to make would affect any functionality.
- Please also simultaneously populate the existing release mechanism document with all your findings, sources and images (if applicable).
Do collaborate with @agagelon to discuss the different criteria you both are considering and compare the values you have so that we can make direct comparisons while making a decision.
Why: The goal is to evaluate the mechanisms thoroughly and have all necessary information and integration details ready for making a final decision.
