Vipac fedsat electronic housings

In conjunction with Vipac and their partners, the Institute for Telecommunications Research (ITR), layouts and detailed drawings were produced to house the UHF and Baseband Processor communications payload developed and built by ITR for the FEDSAT satellite. A light weight, high-rigidity housing with good thermal dissipation, and specified RF isolation was designed using space flight suitable materials, electronic connectors and components. To meet the critical environment, vibration and thermal performance criteria, the interactive design process required considerable collaboration between the companies involved.
