About
CubeSat Kit™ modules are arranged in a module stack according to the physical dimensions prescribed by the PC/104 specification. The preferred way to physically retain all of these modules in place is via a system of four threaded rods, with coaxial aluminum through-hole spacers fitted between adjacent modules.
Each M3 rod is affixed to a Base Plate Assembly and capped with an M3 nut, retaining the entire module stack in compression. The Rod & Spacer Kit is offered in sizes matching the available Chassis Walls lengths (1U, 1.5U, 2U, 3U) so that rod length corresponds to stack height.
