Our part ofthe mission.
The department's main mission is to guarantee the satellite's structural integrity: studying geometric centres, centres of mass and material behaviour.
It also designs and tests ventilation and energy-dispersion systems to manage the extreme temperatures the spacecraft will face in orbit.
On LISAT-01
Holds every subsystem inside a 10 × 10 × 10 cm envelope and keeps it within its temperature limits.
In the flight systemHolds the stack together and keeps it inside its temperature limits.
