Launch Insertion L2 Lunar Orbit Mid Course Corrections projection onto ecliptic plane(RSR frame) Functional Requirements & Assumptions (1 of 3) • General • Range Safety: EWR-127-1 and MIL-STD-1522A • (launch/processing @ KSC/CCAS) • Class A mission: single fault tolerant • Transfer stage needs only axial thrust, ACS thrust • Optics Hub, Detector, and Free Flyers need thrust in all directions • 1 year in Phase1 with 45 reors., 4 years in Phase2 with 45 reorientations. • Thruster contamination and EM issues can be “engineered” • Broad thrust ranges • Transfer to L2 • All S/C are attached together • High thrust chemical propulsion needed for: • ELV velocity dispersions • Mid-course corrections during transfer trajectory • Insertion maneuver near L2 • Transfer stage is jettisoned • Assume need to safe/vent this stage (inject into helio orbit) LAI MAXIM-PF May 13-17, 2002 Goddard Space Flight Center
Functional Requirements & Assumptions (2 of 3) • “Lissajous Stabilization” at L2 • Thrust needed on all S/C to maintain the Lissajous orbit • Assume that science observations are stopped for stabilization maneuvers • Formation Keeping • Optics Hub S/C is the leader and does not need to perform any formation keeping maneuvers • Detector S/C follows the leader and need to perform maneuvers to keep up • Free Flyer Optics S/C also need to perform formation keeping maneuvers • Reorientation Maneuvers • Optics Hub is assumed to rotate in place (it’s the leader) • Detector and free flyer S/C maneuver to match the Optics Hub’s orientation • 10 degree reorientation assumed • Phase1 = 1 day, Phase2 = 7 days LAI MAXIM-PF May 13-17, 2002 Goddard Space Flight Center
Functional Requirements & Assumptions (3 of 3) • Lissajous Stabilization Thrust Control: • For Lissajous stabilization, the S/C can be reoriented to align thrusters with desired velocity direction • Maneuvers will be short so power should not be a problem • Plan maneuvers after observations, before the next reorientation to minimize science downtime • Formation Keeping (& reor.) Thrust Control: • Translational thrust needed in ALL directions • 6 DOF (+/- X, Y, & Z) • Maximum thrust needed is approx. 20 mN • Minimum thrust needed is approx. 3X10-4 mN (this is < 1 microN) • A five order of magnitude thrust range • Formation Keeping (& reor.)
