hi Matt, I am doing exactly the same test bed for my cubesat like you. However, i have no knowledge about this air bearing. I have one question, how you distribute hole for the flowing of air below the hemisphere? I also prefer the 3d printed method because I am currently working on it. Thank you in advance and wish you all the best.
Hey! Sorry took so long to get back to you. We are planning to release the CAD model for this particular air bearing shortly. Please check our teams wiki page here for more information. www.i3detroit.org/wiki/DetroitSat
Hey, thanks for you reply. I am doing the same thing like yours. This air bearing is one of those test beds. I appreciate receiving that CAD from you guys. Thanks again.
We are currently migrating to the new site. Hope to have content loaded by the end of the week but it depends on the teams schedule. Ill follow up when we have posted documentation.
how did you figure out how much the holes needed to be separated to create the thin film of air?
awesome :)
I try to test a cubesat prototype with air bearing, can I ask you some questions ?
Sure, however I only worked on the 3d printed air bearing. If you have other questions I will have to direct you to a team member.
Ok Cool ! My email : youssef.mehrez@gmail.com, can you send me an email so I can ask you questions ?

Nice! Yea we use the air bearing to test the reaction wheels on the cubesat. I will reply back when we have the .stl file posted. Stay tuned!
