From the project
Repo for the OreSat +/-Z end cards (Card #1 and #20)
OreSat cards in the top position (#1) and bottom position (#20) are special because they interface with both the solar arrays and with the end caps. They also tend to hold deployable antennas.
- 4 solar panel connectors - 3 available RF connectors - Alternative backplane connectors only (since the solar panel connectors take up the main connector spot)
