Introduction 1.1 Integration Purpose and Objectives This document will outline the integration procedure for the Exo-Panel Assembly of the ALL-STAR CubeSat. This is intended to be a subsection of the full integration document. This is a procedure that can be followed as part of the full integration procedure, or an independent one to be used to reintegrate the Exo-Panel Assembly.

Jake Broadway 4 I&T.900.0 ALL-STAR Exo-Panel Integration 1.2 Applicable Requirements The Result of this integration will fulfill the following Requirements of the subsystem. Requirement Description Number <req1> Mass of Structure shall be ________ Shall fit in _____ dimensions with an accuracy of ___ Verification Method Inspection Inspection

1.5 Acronyms Acronym Definition ICD Interface Control Document ALL-STAR Agile Low-cost Laboratory for Space Technology Acceleration and Research SYS Systems STR Structure PEZ Payload Extension Zone EPS Electrical Power system 3. Quality Assurance (QA) Precautions During any part integration there shall be a Quality Assurance person present to verify the work of the team member performing the integration. 2.1 Pass/Fail and Re-Test Criteria Depending on the sub-system being operated on, the assembly must be integrated to pre-determined standards decided by the reason for integration: i.e. vibration testing, day-in-the-life testing, or flight readiness. The required quality of integration must be decided before the integration procedure can begin and will be determined by the Integration and Testing team, the team lead of the sub-system(s) involved, and the Program Manager. In order to pass this integration procedure, the assembly must fulfill all requirements of the system listed in section 1.2. 2.2 Quality Assurance A Quality Assurance representative shall perform the following functions: Verification of the integration procedure and facilities that must be utilized Step-by-step verification of the accuracy and quality of the system integration. Documentation and verification of changes that must be made to integration process due to unforeseen hindrances. This documentation will be written at the end of this full integration procedure.

1. Pre-Integration Procedure Pre-Integration Meeting, All team Members will gather and review the Procedure. Each team member will be clear about their responsibilities. This will include a dissuasion of work space, cautions, warnings and Communication protocols. Integration Engineer #1 ____ Quality Engineer ____ Establish a clean work space as determined in Section 1. Pre-Integration Procedure. Static precautions in place Clean, grounded static mat. Team members in Clean Room Attire ****************************************************** Caution : When Gathering components do NOT remove from Static protection measures ****************************************************** Gather and organize necessary equipment listed in section 3.2 and 3.3. This document will indicate parts used during each phase of integration so not all of the listed parts need to be in the workspace but should be readily accessible during the integration process. Verify that each critical component is a flight ready component 1) 2* Exo-Panel A Completed and signed off _____ 2) 2*Exo-Panel B Completed and signed off _____ 3) 2*Deployment Spring Completed and signed off _____ 4) 2*Deployment Spring Mount Completed and signed off _____ Initial Date

*********************************************************** Caution: during the following step care should be taken to minimize contact with the solar panels on the bus structure. When the Exo-Panels are placed upon the sliding rails on the bus structure, they should not contact any part other than the sliding rails *********************************************************** ***************************************************** Caution: At all points during steps 3 and 4 the attached Exo-Panels are loose from the PEZ structure and it is required to hold them in place by hand. They may only be released upon the completion of step 4. ********************************************************

Jake Broadway 14 I&T.900.0 ALL-STAR Exo-Panel Integration Integration Exo-Panel Structure Align the Exo-Panels discussed in the previous step such that the extra extrusion in Ex-Panel A is directly above one of the deployment springs. The side of Exo-Panel A with the extra extrusion should be the portion of the Exo-Panel closest to the PEZ structure. Pull the end of the deployment spring to the bolt hole in the extra extrusion in ExoPanel A, without twisting the spring, such that the bolt hole in ExoPanel A and hole in the deployment spring align. Bolt deployment spring to Exo-Panel A with a 2-56 5/32 inch bolt. Initial Date

These are the two holes to be aligned (Spring to Exo-Panel).

Jake Broadway 15 I&T.900.0 ALL-STAR Exo-Panel Integration Initial Integration Exo-Panel Structure Securely place the Exo-Panels approximately halfway up the sliders on the PEZ structure. Slowly allow the deployment spring to pull the ExoPanels towards the rear of the PEZ structure while keeping the Exo-Panels firmly along the sliding rails until the locking plungers lock the ExoPanels in place. Rotate the assembly on the integration jig until the ExoPanels are on the bottom. While rotating the integration jig, keep the portion of the Exo-Panels resting on the bus structure firmly gripped so that they do not fall off. Only at this point may the Exo-Panels be released and remain in place on the PEZ structure. Date
