Input for accelerometer technology review (2/2) ACC2 ACC3 ACC1 ACC4 Angular acceleration • Angular acceleration around X: • from aZ1 – aZ3 et aY2 – aY4, • Angular acceleration around Y: • from aX2 – aX4 , • Angular acceleration around Z: • from aX1 – aX3
Proposed concept of accelerometer X Z Y g • Short-term solution with TRL 9 • with levitation on-ground • GOCE/GRACE concept • 2 ultra-sensitive axes • 1 less-sensitive axis • 1 angular acceleration measure • Analogic or Digital control loop
Improved GOCE solution Linear Acceleration • With 4 accelerometers: • aX given by ¼(aX1+aX2+aX3+aX4) • aY given by ½(aY1+aY3) • aZ given by ½(aZ2+aZ4) • Improvement wrt GOCE: • Temperature stability
Improved GOCE solution X Z Y Angular Acceleration From linear accelerations From angular accelerations in spacecraft reference frame in S/C ref. frame in accelerometer reference frame
Improved GOCE solution Angular Acceleration From Linear acceleration From Angular acceleration • Limitation LS axis: • Detector noise (limited by range = ±6 µm) • Contact Potential Difference • Gold wire damping
Improved GOCE solution Temperature stability Scale factor Mechanical Temperature driven by accelerometer noise Tmec = 40 mK/Hz1/2 (1 mHz / f) Grad Tmec = 4 mK/Hz1/2 (1 mHz / f) Electronic Temperaturedriven by scale factor stability Telec = 40 mK/Hz1/2 (1 mHz / f) Range Control range 3.1 10-5 m/s2 Measurement range 6.4 10-6 m/s2 Bias • Improvement wrt GOCE: • Reference voltage of ADC2 Along Y (ACC 1, 3) 1.2 10-7 m/s2 Along Z (ACC 2, 4) 1.2 10-7 m/s2
