2. CDR July, 2001NCKU UCB Tohoku AEP Mechanical and Power System H. Heetderks 2 AEP Mechanical Design System Consists of Six Circuit Boards, each Surrounded by an Aluminum Frame –Low Voltage Power Converter is on top to conduct heat to thermal radiator –Power Controller, Data Processing Unit, Instrument Data Controller, Mass Memory, and Data Compression Module follow in order –Base Plate mounts unit to spacecraft deck Electrical Connections made with Stacking Connector on each Board –Avoids need for Mother Board Thermal Radiator attaches to feet on top of assembly Walls of Frames are.200 inches thick to provide radiation shielding and a heat path to the thermal radiator The Stack is held together with 10 Skewer Rods
