  3. Spacecraft Design and SizingOverview of Spacecraft Design & Sizing

  4. Spacecraft Design and SizingPrincipal Requirements & Constraints for S/C Design

  5. Spacecraft Design and SizingPrincipal Requirements & Constraints for S/C Design

  6. Spacecraft Design and SizingWeight Budget

  7. Spacecraft Design and SizingSpacecraft Configuration Drivers

  8. Spacecraft Design and Sizing • Can use historical data for next block of same S/C, or to generalize within a mission type

  9. Spacecraft Design and SizingMass Distribution for Selected Satellites

  11. Spacecraft Design and SizingMass Distribution for Selected Satellites

  12. Spacecraft Design and SizingTop-Down Sizing Example • Given: navigation mission with mP/L = 50 kg • Find: subsystem masses and mdry

  13. Spacecraft Design and SizingTop-Down Sizing Example • Still need other masses to permit eventual launch vehicle choice • mkick is apogee kick motor – if needed • madapter counts against booster performance #s • Need to include margin

  14. Spacecraft Design and SizingS/C Budgets • For top-down designs, allocate so much of a quantity or capability to each subsystem • Types of budgets • Mass • Power • Communication bandwidth • Volume • Reliability • Pointing error • Cost • Schedule, etc

  15. Spacecraft Design and SizingMass Budget • See previous navigation S/C example • Now add mass margin into calculation • Margin covers the uncertainty in our estimates • Typical range from 5% to 25% • Larger margin for new S/C, or earlier in design phase • Smaller margin for known S/C, or as design progresses

  16. Spacecraft Design and SizingPreparing a Power Budget

  17. Spacecraft Design and SizingTypical Power Consumption by Module or Subsystem

  18. Spacecraft Design and SizingPropellant Budget • List v’s • Use ideal rocket equation to convert  v to propellant mass

  19. Spacecraft Design and SizingPropellant Budget

  20. Spacecraft Design and SizingEstimating Spacecraft Equipment Compartment Dimensions
