Aristotle Space & Aeronautics Team

The largest aerospace student team in Greece

Few words about our team

Aristotle Space & Aeronautics Team (ASAT) was founded in November 2015, as the first aerospace student team of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTh), Greece. The team’s main scope is contributing to making the field of aerospace known within the Greek academic community, as well as the general public.

Today, ASAT conducts research through 2 multidisciplinary departments, Aeronautics and Rocketry, that develop innovative R&D projects in these fields, while also taking part in worldwide competitions ASAT proudly holds a place amongst the top 10 student teams in Europe at both mentioned fields, ranked 9 th in Aeronautics and 7 th in Rocketry at the latest competitions.

Today, ASAT composes of 2 technical departments, Aeronautics and Rocketry, that conduct scientific research, take part in global competitions and work on innovative R&D projects.

An easy method for encapsulating solar cells:

1. Find a smooth surface and affix mastic sealant tape to create a rectangular.
2. Apply wax three times.
3. Connect your solar cells and ensure they are functioning properly.
4. Cut two sheets of fiberglass fabric to the appropriate dimensions, covering the solar cells entirely.
5. Cut one sheet of peel ply with dimensions larger than the fiberglass sheets.
6. Cut one sheet of flow fabric with dimensions smaller than the peel ply sheet.
7. Cut two sections of spiral tube.
8. Cut the vacuum film to the correct dimensions.
9. Arrange the sheets in the following order on the plexiglass: fiberglass fabric, solar cells, fiberglass fabric, peel ply, and mesh.
10. Position the spiral tubes and infusion plugs on either side of the solar cells and connect the vacuum film in the mastic sealant tape.
11. Prepare the epoxy resin.
12. Once the resin is prepared, you are ready for vacuum and allow the resin to flow.
13. After 24 hours at ambient temperature, you can proceed to demold the encapsulated solar cells.

The first step is always the preparation of the mold. First, we protect the foam mold with a coat of epoxy resin. Then, we add two coats of uni-primer to achieve a geometry without inconsistencies. After that, we add two coats of polygloss color to achieve a smooth surface. The final step in mold preparation is to apply wax to ensure easy release of the carbon fiber from the mold.

Once the mold is prepared, we are ready to proceed with the construction method. Firstly, we need to cut the carbon fiber to the appropriate size and the mylar sheet that will be used to create a smooth surface for the wing skin. We apply the epoxy resin on the mylar and then on the carbon fiber fabrics. Next, we attach the fabrics to the mold and wrap them with a breather cloth. The final step is to place the part in an envelope that we create with a vacuum bag and remove all the air.

We allow the cured part to sit for at least 24 hours at room temperature, and then we are ready to demold!
