Development of a clean environment for nano-satellite integration and testing at the university level

Abstract:

This document is about the development of an autonomous clean environment of 100,000 class that will be used for the assembly of the nano-satellite 'BuhoSat', a research project of the Astronomical Observatory of Quito of the National Polytechnic School. The clean environment is built with acrylic panels and has a total volume of 0.618 cubic meters. Its main objective is to provide the optimal environmental conditions for the protection of the nano-satellite components. It has sensors and actuators that respond automatically to create the right conditions for assembly and storage. Additionally, it has an area with electronic sensors and mechanisms to help determine the center of mass and to test the attitude determination and control system of the nano-satellite.
