An Update

RockOn! 2008

122

RockOn! 2008

Update Note:

- Some AVR boards were too close to a support stand-off during fit checks.

123

RockOn! 2008

Update Note:

- To help alleviate the issue, a small chunk was nipped from the edge of the board.

- This should resolve the issue.

- If at any time you are unsure if you may be doing damage to your board while installing stand-offs, please raise your hand.

Clocking:

Clocking:

- Clocking is a technique where each plate is rotated 180° relative to the previous plate.

- Clocking is used here to better balance the RockSat cans due to the CG not being exactly at the geometric center of the plate.

Bottom Bulkhead 2:

- Lightly tighten the 1/2” bolt and lock washer with the hex key.

- Important: Don’t not over tighten the bolt. After all bolts are in, they will be torqued to 30 in*lbs.

Bottom Bulkhead 3:

- Insert and tighten the remaining four (4) 1/2” bolts and washers on the bottom bulkhead.

- Note: Add the bolts in an alternating fashion (like tire lug nuts) as indicated above. Tighten until bolts are flush with the plate.

Outer Skin 2:

- Align the outer skin to allow the skin and bulkhead holes to line up.

- By hand, screw in all eight (8) 3/8” bolts through the skin to attach it to the bottom bulkhead.

Good Alignment

- Important: Do not over tighten the bolts. The bolts will be torqued to 30 in*lbs

Top Bulkhead 2:

- Once alignment is achieved, insert one (1) 5/8” bolt and lock washer into the center hole.

- Lightly tighten the bolt with the hex key.

- Important: Leave this bolt loose enough to make slight adjustments to the other four (4) bolts.

Final Product:

Congratulations!

You have completed integration of your payload with the RockSat can.

We will now walk through a shorting plug test, pull the RDY LED, and get all structural bolts torqued and ready for the hand-off to Wallops engineers!
