Summary of Intent
For Raziel's rover deployment, a sabot assembly was initially developed, but ultimately did not make it into flight hardware. Included here are lessons learned during the making of the sabot.
...
The square enclosure fits into the sabot shell to create a housing, further modifiable to be robust enough to withstand a rough landing.
The flight competition required the enclosure to be shaped to resemble a Cube-Sat of 2U designation (10 cm x 10 cm x 20 cm).
Materials and Preparation
Stiff foam was used to fabricate the sabot shell in the aim of absorbing impact upon landing.
