Alex Ordway60 hours worked Attitude Control Subsystem Component Selection and Analysis
Design Drivers • Meeting mission pointing requirements • Meet power requirements • Meet mass requirements • Cost • Miscellaneous Factors
Trade Study • Sliding Mass vs. Tip Thruster Configuration • Idea behind sliding mass
Trade Study • Sliding mass ACS offers • Low power consumption (24 W) • Reasonable mass (40 kg) • Low complexity • Smaller contribution to spacecraft MOI • Limitations • Unknown torque provided until calculations are made • No roll capability • Initially decided to use combination of sliding mass and tip thrusters
ADCS System Overview • ADS • Goodrich HD1003 Star Tracker primary • Bradford Aerospace Sun Sensor secondary • ACS • Four 10 kg sliding masses primary • Driven by four Empire Magnetics CYVX-U21 motors • Three Honeywell HR14 reaction wheels secondary • Six Bradford Aero micro thrusters secondary • Dissipate residual momentum after sail release
ADS • Primary • Decision to use star tracker • Accuracy • Do not need slew rate afforded by other systems • Goodrich HD1003 star tracker • 2 arc-sec pitch/yaw accuracy • 3.85 kg • 10 W power draw • -30°C - + 65 °C operational temp. range • $1M • Not Chosen: Terma Space HE-5AS star tracker • Lower thermal thresholds (-20°C - +40°C) • Greater power draw (15W)
ADS • Secondary • Two Bradford Aerospace sun sensors • Backup system; performance not as crucial • Sensor located on opposite sides of craft • 0.365 kg each • 0.2 W each • -80°C - +90°C
ACS • Sliding mass system • Why four masses? • FRONTAL PICTURE OF THINGAMAJIG HERE
ACS • Sliding mass system • Four Empire Magnetics CYVX-U21 Step Motors • Cryo/space rated • 1.5 kg each • 28 W power draw each • 200°C • $55 K each • 42.4 N-cm torque
ACS • Gear matching- load inertia decreases by the gear ratio squared. Show that this system does not need to be geared.
ACS • Three Honeywell HR14 reaction wheels • Mission application • Specifications • 7.5 kg each • 66 W power draw each (at full speed) • -30ºC - +70ºC • 0.2 N-m torque • $200K each • Not selected • Honeywell HR04 • Bradford Aerospace W18
ACS • Six Bradford micro thrusters • 0.4 kg each • 4.5 W power draw each • -30ºC - + 60ºC • 2000 N thrust • Supplied through N2 tank
Attitude Control • Conclusion • Robust ADCS • Meets and exceeds mission requirements • Marriage of simplicity and effectiveness • Redundancies against the unexpected
