Satellite - How to Build

There are basically two distinct parts forming its main body.Mechanics and Service Module.



Mechanic Module Service.

Electrics. Communications module which carries satellite's complex electronic payload and solar arrays captured sunlight. Antenna dishes will transmit and receive signals from earth.




The satellite central's skeleton is built around the carbon fiber connected with aluminum panels
which hold four fuel tanks. A main engine, thrusters and batteries.









Nitrogen Tetroxide (NTO )and Monomethyl Hydrozene (MMH). 
They are extremely toxic and hazardous, but superior at explosive quality. The fuel tanks are built from titanium, because the metal doesn't react with the tank.


The central core is the skeleton of satellite. Strands of carbon fiber coated with resin are winded into the complex patterns to make the cylinder as strong and light as possible.

The aluminum panels are attached to the center cylinder  forming the basic structure.
