Description

Need to be strategic about the bus layout to ensure volume and placement requirements can be met for all systems.

Tasks

[ ] Research alternative connectors to PC104
Decision was made to push this research until after the volume allocation meeting takes place at the end of this story, since it is not yet known whether we will need to find a smaller interconnect solution. Dependent on payload volume allocation
[x] Research whether it is possible to interface with battery module using PC104
Yes, it is possible. Found reference designs. Notably Gomspace NB4
[x] Design stack order based on requirements from systems
[x] Document trade in database
Spacecraft Bus Stack Order Selection
[x] Arrive at decision on what to do with respect to RF module missing PC104 connector
@Reid Sox-Harris: this is not a problem from electricals’ perspective, we don’t mind not having a universal connector between all PCBs in the stack
Will proceed with the currently selected RF module as planned
