Mechanical is responsible for developing the entire structure of the Satellite (except the payload), ensuring everything fits nicely and we remain within the mass and volume limitations set by the launch provider. Also, we need to ensure our structure can withstand the vibrations and forces of the launch!
Meetings are in MY 857 and Discord on Saturdays 2-3 PM.
