Block diagram • Preamplifier Box unit • Main functions: • Calibration • Regulated power supply • Low noise preamplifier, • 3 channels • Same design as Cluster Christophe Coillot
Input Signal Amplified Signal antenna Vin Feedback Mechanical & Electrical Design Preamplifier Principle : Vout Input from calibration network Calibration Signal 1 layer in the Regulator module • 1st level of amplification • 46 dB Gain • few noise • Feedback • 2nd level of amplification • 31 dB Gain • Bandwidth 0.25mHz to 4 KHz 1 layer in the Amplifier module 1 layer in the Amplifier module
Electrical design • Preamplifier design • Prototype exists • Fits requirements (sensitivity, power). • Measurement conditions close to • Flight model : • Same design for sensor • Same kind/length for cable • Same design as 3D+ PA • Powered by 3D+ voltage • regulator Christophe Coillot
Mechanical & Electrical Design • 3 radiation shielding levels • BBM exists; no risk • 3D+ has large experience; generic evaluation CNES/ESA/NASA 2002, qualification CNES/ESA 2003 Heating network * 1st amplification level Radiation Shielding (Tantalium plates) 2nd amplification level * Circuit not included for the THEMIS mission
Preliminary design meets all system requirements Mass & Power
Instrumentation Interfaces with DFB defined and documented (see DFB presentation) Proposed design will meet functional requirements Detailed design proceeding Risks have been identified (tight schedule); under control; close interaction with UCB. Sufficient maturity in design (existing BBM) to proceed to detailed design Thermal design: a MLI is requested around SCM antennas (UCB responsibility) Cluster heritage illustrates reliability of the design Ground Support Equipment SCM antennas+PA tested at Chambon la Foret Magnetic axis knowledge +/- 0.2° Short tests at S/C level with antennas in mu-metal boxes Electrical
Mechanical Structure Design proposed by GDTech has been iterated. It is now agreed upon by CETP&UCB. Numerical analyses will start to check for vibration load…Preliminary analyses shows that mass is below specs. Design modified in agreement with suggestions made by review committee: differential dilatation between Ketron Peek&aluminium. Design modified to allow the passage of the cable inside boom, as requested by UCB. Thermal A thermal blanket is needed during eclipses. This is provided by UCB. Mechanical & Thermal
Breadboarding/Eng Modeling BBM of antennas and PA exist and meet specs Part list for PA is frozen; fabrication of EM is starting Tests EM beginning of january PA Flight Units FM1+2+3: sept 24 FM4+5+FS: nov. 19 Schedule is tight for FM1/PA delivery No problem expected for antennas and structures Development Plans
Status of RFAs RFA1: -AC magnetic cleanliness Status - Main issue is solar cells rotation (non circular S/C). Magnetic modeling will be made to estimate spurious noise at SCM location, once the info on solar cell wiring is available. UCLA is conducting a mag-cleanliness program; they have the software to carry out this evaluation -CETP can help by providing a “sniffer”, to measure spurious noise from s/c, and from other instruments. Involves some extra cost. Peer Review Results
RFA2: -Schedule problem with FM1/PA -Part list to be agreed with UCB Status: -delivery of FM1 together with FM2&3 on september 24th; agreed with UCB. -Final part list sent to UCB nov 10th. RFA3: -Alignment budget Status : -Magnetic axis determined within 0.2% during tests at Chambon, once the antenna are mounted on their structure. -Main difficulty is stability/knowledge of boom axis.
