Hello everyone! I read in the news about the MARSCO cubesats that will be on a flyby mission to Mars. This encouraged me to make a CubeSat mod.. Now, a Cubesat mod has already been developed, although a little outdated.. This mod will provide me with a yardstick to measure my mod's growth. I am yet to come up with a complete list of all the parts that I will be making and including in the mod, but some parts like probe cores and LFO engines are a must..I plan to add more parts in the future as the mod progresses. (I don't know Blender and Unity, but I am going to nosedive into the world of modding anyways~) First of all, here's a LFOtank + Engine that I made~ (Its only a rough model in solidworks right now) The enclosure in which the tank is stored is 20x20x20 cm in dimensions, although if it seems impractical, I will increase the size. I am yet to understand how practical this setup will be, but hey! Atleast I am doing something! Right? Umm..Right? EDIT: I have decided the preliminary part list for the mod. This is not exhaustive, and I will add more parts according to your suggestions! Probe core: (20cmX20cmX5cm) Fuel tanks: Monoprop, solid fuel, xenon, LFO (One tank, with configurable resources)(20cmx20cmx10cm) Control: Flywheel box. Payload: 1U dispensor, 2U dispensor, 3U dispensor Structural: 1U (20x20x20cm) chassis, 2U(20x20x40cm) and 3U(20x20x60cm) chassis, Circular plate to hold cubesat dispensor. Engines: Hall effect Thruster, monoprop engines, LFO thruster, Plasma thruster Electricity: 1U,2U,3U static solar panel, 2U/3U deployable solar panels, RTG, Battery(20x20x7.5cm) Comms: Needle Antenna, Umbrella antenna Science: Camera, resource scanner(?) If you have suggestion regarding parts, then free feel to tell me!
