Abstract
KAISTAT-4 is the fourth experimental microsatellite of KITSAT series which has been developed by Satellite Technology Research Center of KAIST for the last two years. The launch of KAISTSAT-4 is scheduled in 2003. The primary experimental payloads consist of Far-ultraviolet Imaging Spectrograph and Space Physis Package. In a similar way to KITSAT series, the interior of KAISTSAT-4 comprises mainly a set of stacked aluminium-alloy module boxes, each being capable of acting as the primary load path in the mechanical structure. The KAISTSAT-4 qualification model is now designed, fabricated, integrated, and tested to verify if the electrical and mechanical components work and can withstand the launch environments. All the required structural tests have been performed to a sufficient degree to satisfy the intent of the test requirements. This paper presents the structural system and launch environmental test results of KAISTSAT-4 qualification model.
