Abstract
In recent years, the number of launches of nano-satellites, which have the advantage of being developed in a short period of time, has increased rapidly. However, several issues need to be addressed to maximize the benefits of nano-satellites. One of them is that theoretical methods have not been widely applied to the placement of equipment on satellites. Therefore, this paper proposes an "Optimal Design Methodology Emphasizing Surface Equipment Placement Applied to 6U CubeSats". It details the design and development of two 6U CubeSats using this method, along with the results and lessons learned.
