Why are antennae, solar cells, etc. not included in the CubeSat Kit?
The design of items like antennas and power-supplies is very mission-oriented, and should be tailored to each individual CubeSat. The CubeSat Kit is a general-purpose kit, and is designed to satisfy the basic requirements of the CubeSat specifications. With the CubeSat Kit, you don’t have to worry about building a sturdy yet light enclosure, adding Remove-Before-Flight and Launch Switches, creating a working connector scheme, picking a microcontroller, etc. We’ve done all of that for you!
