  19. Structure design: deflection requirement feasibility Approximation: cantilever beam • Requirement: • Bending < 6 microns (pixel smear req.) • Bending < 0.3° (pixel smear req.) • Stiffness of structure Meets Requirement Fails Requirement! Solution: substitution of support rods with truss structure For more detail, see slide 50

  20. Structural design: Material selection Design to goal: Highest Mass/Stiffness • Other Considerations: • Availability • Cost • Fatigue Strength • Coefficient of thermal expansion • Good Selections • Aluminum 2024-T3 • Aluminum 5182-O • Steel 4130 For more detail on material selection, see slide 51

  21. Encoder option preferred over Resolver Low speed operations Accuracy Minimal Complexity Cost Ability to Modify Motors/Sensor package Availability Absolute Position Encoders can measure angular position and velocity Tachometer or Rate Gyro may be used in conjunction with Encoder Sensors • Accelerometers will be used to measure the vibrations For more detail on electronics, see slides 52, 53, 54

  33. BACKUP SLIDES

  34. Pros and ConsFixed Camera • Pros: • Mechanically less complicated, no moving parts • Control system not required • Proven technology • Cons: • Complete coverage would require 30 cameras with a 12° field of view. • For the given camera shutter speed (100ms), resolution (1Meg), and field of view (12°) and assuming only a 1 pixel smear, the maximum rotation rate would be 0.11718°/s. Actual rotation rate is ~72°/s. Back to system level choice

  35. Pros and ConsPassive Stabilization • Pros: • Simple design, easy to construct • No de-spun motor required • Aligns camera with magnetic field lines without help from main satellite • No control loop needed • Cons: • Difficulty with verification • Potential interference with the science hardware • Possible pointing and stability issues • Can’t point camera off of magnetic field lines if desired Back to system level choice

  36. Passive Stabilization Calculations • Assuming that the de-rotated section is a solid cylinder of radius R=15cm with mass m=0.5kg the moment of inertia I is: • If we want to be able to accelerate the despun portion to an angular velocity ω of 72 degrees/s (the speed of the satellite) within 1 second in a frictionless environment, the required torque τ will be: • To get the desired torque with a magnetic field strength of B=20,000 nT (the field strength from orbit) the magnet must have a linear dipole moment μ of: • Using the magnetic torquers found at http://www.smad.com/analysis/torquers.pdf a torque rod which can generate a linear dipole moment of 80 Am2 has a length of 0.5m, 2 coils, and draws 4.7W of power at 28V. This gives a turn density n and current i of: • At the center of a long solenoid the magnetic field strength B=μni where μ=μ0*k. The relative permeability of a nickel alloy for the core is about k=8000, so the field strength generated by this magnet is: Back to system level choice

  37. Rail Car Calcuations • Pros: • A small movement in the motor will not result in a large deviation in pointing accuracy • Not as stringent requirements on motor sensitivity as other suggested designs. • Cons: • Thermal expansion would cause large errors • Radius could expand by up to 5% (depends on material) • Momentum balancing requirements would require additional masses and precise balancing • Scaling with actual satellite would not be a feasible size, requiring an unreasonably large track • Changing moment of inertia would result in scaling issue for the control loop • Electrical system very complicated and expensive – would require large slip ring Back to system level choice

  38. Parallel Plate Calculations • Pros: • Simple construction • Cons: • Masses not evenly balanced would create precession in the top plate. • Requires the addition of excess mass • May not be able to meet the sun shading requirement • Scaling Back to system level choice

  39. Optical and Spin Axis Allignment Calculations • Pros: • Easiest to balance mass • Lots of space and flexibility in mounting camera • Smallest amount of mass (lack of ballast) • Less susceptible to thermal expansion issues • Scalable to actual flight instrument • Cons: • Complicated attachment to testbed • Stability issues • Jitter, vibration Back to system level choice

  41. Rotation • Test Bed Motor • Simulates the rotation of spinning satellite • Does not require precise control • No size, weight or power constraints • Options • AC or DC motor • Inexpensive • Single voltage input • Simple manual control
