About
The Base Plate Assembly for AntS Antenna forms one end of a CubeSat Kit™ structure — typically the end with the Motherboard Module (MBM) C&DH subsystem. Precision constructed from Al 5052-H32 and plated according to the CubeSat Design Specification (CDS), each Large-Aperture Base Plate Assembly is secured to the Chassis Walls via six M3 flathead stainless-steel screws.
This version of the Base Plate is made specifically to accommodate the third-party AntS deployable antenna system, which is secured to the plate with four threaded fasteners. This base plate has dual, independent separation switches; each separation switch provides C, NC and NO solder terminals, with the second switch located on a corner diagonally opposite the first, providing redundant deployment sensing per the CubeSat Design Specification.
As Flight Hardware, it is Flight Qualified and Space Proven.
