Popis: A satellite that has an all-composite structure, STSAT-3(science and technology satellite), was initially developed in Korea. Partially use of advanced composites in space applications such as solar panel is well developed, however the application of an all-composite satellite bus has never been achieved in Korea. This study emphasizes the application of composite technology to the design and fabrication of an all-composite spacecraft bus for small-class satellite STSAT-3. Moreover its structure design concept is totally different from the one that was used in the previous satellites developed in Korea.
