The Mechanical Team is responsible for the

  1. Design
  2. Manufacture
  3. Assembly, and
  4. Analysis
of the physical structure of BLUEsat that supports the internal subsystems. Design of the microsatellite was based upon the previously successful AMSAT-NA microsatellites launched in the early 90s. The passive stabilization system is also engineered through the mechanical team to provide basic orientation in Low Earth Orbit (500 - 1000km) of constant period (around 100 mins).
