Repository navigation
hardware/mechanical/ is empty — no CAD for any form factor #6
The directory is referenced from docs/design/assembly_guide.md and README.md as the canonical location for mechanical CAD, but it currently holds only a README. No STEP, STL, IGES, or FreeCAD files exist for:
CanSat cylindrical housing (Ø68 × 80 mm for cansat_standard, Ø66 × 115 for cansat_minimal, Ø68 × 115 for cansat_advanced).
CubeSat frames for any of the six registered sizes (1U / 1.5U / 2U / 3U / 6U / 12U).
Deployables (antennas, solar wings for 6U / 12U).
Why it matters
Teams following docs/ops/*.md can't 3D-print or CNC-machine the housing from the repo alone — they have to design the mechanics from scratch.
docs/budgets/mass_budget.md talks about "3U Primary Structure (ISIS 3U Structure Kit) 280 g" as a BOM line item without a matching CAD export.
The registered envelope in flight-software/core/form_factors.py is authoritative for dimensions; a STEP file that matches those numbers would close the loop.
Definition of done
Minimum for cansat_standard (most common CanSat competition kit):
hardware/mechanical/cansat_standard/housing.step — Ø68 × 80 mm with inner Ø64, end caps, 4 × M2 PCB mount posts.
