  14. X-Ray Grating – Systems Implications for CAT configuration • CAT instrument potential system-wide impacts and implications • Instrument Mass reduced to 84.5 kg • Structure mass • Fuel mass • Thrusters size • Inertia • Attitude Control torquers size • CG • CP-CG shield position • Thrusters alignment • Instrument Power reduced to 85 W (affects power and thermal) • Solar Array size • Battery DOD or size • Thermal load • Radiator sizes • Avionics TT&C and FSW specifics • System interaction impacts not fully assessed

  15. X-Ray Grating Issues/Considerations • Tracking required for 1 msec absolute timing • Reaction wheels sized for 1-month momentum management cycle • 21-day nonpropulsive tracking arc may possibly be shortened • Portion of timing error allocated to position uncertainty is TBD • Pitch pointing produces CP-CG offset and solar pressure momentum accumulation, and may require more frequent momentum management • Momentum management with coupled thrusters produces a small contribution to position delta-V • Position uncertainty also influences station-keeping delta-V • Arrangement of target pointing sequence may help balancesolar pressure momentum accumulation • Aperture cover mechanism versus safehold solar pointing reliability • Aperture cover is jettisoned; recloseable cover is not baselined • Increased reliability of safehold solar pointing may be more cost effective and reliable than a recloseable cover

  16. X-Ray Grating Future Work • Weight-optimized configuration • Reconfigured Payload configurations • Extensive redesign needed to reach smaller LV accommodations • Attitude determination analysis • Error budgets
