About

The 3P Skeleton Wall PocketQube Structure is an aerospace-grade aluminum structure with a plated finish, specifically designed for the PocketQube Standard (Pico-satellite class). It incorporates two micro-switches for double redundancy, acting as kill switches. The design includes two access points on the endplates, allowing access to internal electronics once assembled, and is engineered for access from almost any angle. An earlier version of this structure has flight heritage. The structure can accommodate the PQ60 v1.0 board stack. Custom solar panel mounting holes are available upon request, requiring a dimensioned drawing or CAD file from the customer, as the item does not ship with solar panel mounting holes as standard due to the current lack of PocketQube Panel products for sale.
