The Structures Team manages the physical needs of the club. This includes the CubeSat frame itself but also joints, fastenings, deploy-ables, and mountings for the satellite itself as well as testing apparatuses and ground support equipment.
Our primary concern is physical durability during launch (vibration and shock). But we must also worry about mass budgeting, volume allocation and material concerns (such as outgassing, toxicity, and the like)
