All the sub- systems reviewed in the previous sections must be assembled to form the two CubeSats according to design and to meet all the functional requirements before delivery to integration with other CubeSats for launch. 3.1.1 Assembly Plan Assembly plan begins with all sub- systems having been checked to meet all fabrication specifications and tested to function as designed. Two assembly teams, one for each CubeSat, will be organized during fabrication phase. Necessary training and practice sessions will be conducted by experienced mentors. A detailed assembly procedure and schedule will be established during the fabricating phase.
Assembly completes with a functional test prior to environmental test.
Assembly Facilities Minimizing the expanses demands locating and negotiation the use of existing facilities on Campus. Simultaneous assembly of two CubeSats requires the use of at least two assembly facilities. At least three labs on campus have needed working space and cleanliness environments. Assembly Tools Most of the tools for assembly will be existent in the various Sub-system Teams, especially, the Structure Team. Other special tools will be identified and negotiated for their use with afore mentioned labs during fabrication phase.
