Slot 5 is immediately below the CubeSat Kit’s bottom cover. Therefore it’s an ideal location to place sensors that must be exposed to space, e.g. a miniature camera lens. Just cut a hole in the bottom cover that’s large enough for the camera lens to pass through, and ensure that it does not violate the CubeSat’s allowable external dimensions.
