  • System, method, and bracket assembly for a stable and repeatable spacecraft platform structure
    Patent number: 12698102
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and bracket assemblies for a stable and repeatable spacecraft platform structure are provided. The method includes: providing a plurality of panel interconnect (PIC) bracket assemblies for connecting first and second adjacent platform panels; supporting and aligning the first and second platform panels in a vertical configuration using three points of support; installing the PIC bracket assemblies between the first and second platform panels; co-drilling a subset of the PIC bracket assemblies to establish co-drilled holes that traverse the first and second bracket; disassembling the bolted interfaces of PIC bracket assemblies to remove the first or second platform panel; and reinstalling the first or second panel using an expansion pin in the co-drilled holes to return the first or second platform panel to its quasi 0 G shape.
