PCB STANDARD

Guidelines, references, standards, and templates required for the SpaceLab hardware projects.

Overview • Repositories • Acknowledges • Notes

Overview

The SpaceLab standard defines general rules for the PCB design, development process, documentation, and organization. It is necessary to follow these guidelines in new projects for compliance with older SpaceLab modules and hardware developments. Besides this requirement, the guidelines and standards herein included increase the quality of the design and documentation, which are essential for a successuful project and an educational oriented platform.

Repositories

This repository is structure as follows:

• pcb_projects: Example projects to be used as a start point in new projects.
• pcb_references: Materials, links, design rules, and references.
• pcb_templates: Various template sources for the SpaceLab hardware designs.
• pcb_standards: Internal and external standards used in the SpaceLab hardware designs (PC-104, space design patterns, others).
• pcb_guidelines: Guidelines for the development of SpaceLab hardware projects.

Other repositories:

• altium-libraries: Component schematic, footprint, and 3d body libraries.

Acknowledges

This standard is the result of the combination of experience in hardware development of different SpaceLab members. In special, the major contributions are addressed to Kleber Gouveia, Cezar Rigo, and Sara Vega. Other members helped in the process, mainly in the compilation of the knowledge in this repository format: Andre Mattos, Yan Azeredo, and Gabriel Marcelino.

Notes

This standard is a working in progress, then remember to check with the writers the current state and feel free to provide suggestion for improvement. These requests should be made using the issues feature.
