Abstract: A modular satellite testing platform system having an upper and a lower member along with a plurality of support members, intermediate members, and lower bar members that are interconnected to the upper member and the lower member. The system further includes a plurality of shelf members that are attached to the support members. The satellite also includes a plurality of bottom cover members that are attached to the lower member by a plurality of hinge members that allow the cover members to selectively rotated about an axis to be rotatably translated between an opened position and a closed position. The system yet further includes a thermal control system to allow maintaining the thermals of the satellite as desired.

Abstract: A cube satellite deployer system having a body plate, a communication unit, a power unit, and a control unit. The body plate is adapted to be connected to a space arm assembly. The communication unit and the power unit are attached to the body plate. Each of the communication unit, power unit, and the control unit are in communication with one another. The body plate is also adapted to receive one or more cube satellite housings. The cube satellite housings are adapted to house and selectively launch one or more of the cube satellites that are housed by the cube satellite housings.

Abstract: A test platform apparatus is provided. The apparatus may comprise a lower member, and upper member, and a plurality of side members that may extend between the lower member and the upper member. The apparatus may also include one or more material testers and a sensor system that may be in communication with a flight computer. The sensor system may comprise one or more of a passive remote sensor and an active remote sensor. The apparatus may also include one or more of a camera that may be in communication with the flight computer. The apparatus may also include a plurality of heatsinks.

Abstract: A modular satellite apparatus for testing materials in a space setting is provided. The apparatus includes a lower member and an upper member, as well as rear support members, medial support members, front support members, and side members that each extend between the lower member and the upper member. They apparatus also includes attachment members connected to an external surface of the lower member and configured to connect to an external platform. The apparatus further includes a plurality of mounting members on an internal surface of the lower member or the side members, and a plurality of heatsinks. The lower member includes a plurality of heatsink receiving holes formed therein to receive portions of the heatsinks to connect the heatsinks to the lower member.
