CONFIGURABLE END-FRAMES LAYOUT
Q- Quad Aperture
Quad aperture layout is the standard layout of SM12 end-frames presenting 4x 83x90 mm aperture.
D- Double Aperture
Double aperture layout presenting 2 aperture of 83x210 mm to allow integration of 6U form factor components.
C- Central Aperture
The suitable solution for centered axial aligned payload such optics and propulsion system thanks to a central 100x100 mm aperture
F- Full Frame Aperture
The solution allowing the maximum flexibility for demanding payload such as large optics thanks to a total clearance of 200x200 mm.
CUSTOMIZABLE STACK MOUNTING LAYOUT
Wide combination of stack mounting solutions are possible exploiting SM modularity: horizontal, vertical e transversal with customizable length.
-
VERTICAL MOUNTING
Vertical stack mounting allows to integrate separated stack of 1U size as well as custom length stack exploiting more than 20 fixing hole available at different height
-
TRANSVERSAL MOUNTING
Transversal stack mounting allows to integrate separated stack of 1U or 2U size.
-
HORIZONTAL MOUNTING
Horizontal stack mounting allows to integrate separated stack of 1U or 2U size
-
CFRP MULTIPURPOSE FRAME
Multipurpose inner frame SM12 compatible can be exploited as stack and payload support structure, facilitating the integration of the satellite. Made in aluminum or CFRP qualified for outgassing standards, the solution ensures high mechanical performances with a reduced impact on the overall satellite mass.
