Download or read book Contributions to the advance of the integration density of CubeSats written by Grau, Sebastian and published by Universitätsverlag der TU Berlin. This book was released on 2019-09-17 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis investigates potential technologies to increase the integration density of CubeSats. Observations of the CubeSat market and missions are recorded in order to derive design criteria for high performance single unit CubeSats. A promising approach to increased integration density is relocation of the components of multiple satellite subsystems to form a highly integrated, multi-functional solar panel. Eligible components are usually allocated to the communication system, the electric power system, or the attitude determination and control system. In a joint research project, development, optimization, and miniaturization of those components in order to form a highly integrated, multi-functional solar panel is investigated. The author first summarizes the development work of the project partners for a picosatellite solar antenna and puts it into relation to the overall solar panel design. Advantage of using solar antennas over simple patch antennas is the reduced loss of solar cell area, and hence available electric power, that is usually accompanied by the usage of higher frequency bands for broadband payload data transmission. Magnetic attitude actuators are the backbone of CubeSat attitude control. In order to increase their performance and lower their resource consumption, numerical optimization of the commonly used three coil types is investigated by the author. This leads to the formulation of a novel optimization approach, which is better suited to real-world considerations for magnetic actuator design. Results from the application of the optimization procedure show potential for every coil type. The state of the art of a novel type of attitude control actuators, so-called fluid-dynamic actuators which are based on angular momentum exchange, is advanced by the author by introducing miniaturized 3D-printed conduits for single unit CubeSat applications. Following development and functional verification, actuators are compared to existing reaction wheel systems, which shows their superiority for agile attitude maneuvers and integration with the satellite bus. Further investigation exploits additive manufacturing technologies to create redundancy concepts using four actuators with three-dimensional conduits.Finally, development, optimization, and miniaturization of subsystem components is brought together in the design, assembly, and test of a highly integrated, multi-functional solar panel. Analysis of a single unit CubeSat design that applies different configurations of the multi-functional solar panel shows the potential for more than 50% payload mass and payload volume. This brings integration density of single unit CubeSats to a level similar to that of the larger triple unit form factors currently employed for the New Space mega-constellations. Diese Dissertation untersucht mögliche Technologien zur Erhöhung der Integrationsdichte von CubeSats. Beobachtungen des CubeSat-Marktes und ausgewählter Missionen werden zusammengetragen um Entwurfskriterien für hochperformante 1U CubeSats abzuleiten. Ein vielversprechender Ansatz zur Erhöhung der Integrationsdichte ist der Umzug von Komponenten verschiedener Satellitensubsysteme auf ein zu entwickelndes hochintegriertes, multifunktionales Solarpaneel. Infrage kommende Komponenten sind für gewöhnlich dem Kommunikationssystem, dem Energieversorgungssystem, oder dem Lageregelungssystem zugeordnet. In Rahmen eines gemeinschaftlichen Forschungsvorhabens wurden Entwicklung, Optimierung, und Miniaturisierung ausgewählter Komponenten eines solchen hochintegrierten, multifunktionalen Paneels untersucht. Durch den Autor wird zunächst die Entwicklung einer Solarantenne für Pikosatelliten durch den Projektpartner zusammengefasst und in Zusammenhang um Entwurf des Solarpaneels gebracht. Der Vorteil einer Solarantenne gegenüber einer einfachen Patch-Antenne ist der geringere Verlust an Solarzellenfläche, und damit zur Verfügung stehender elektrischer Leistung, der üblicherweise mit der Verwendung höherer Frequenzbänder zur breitbandigen Nutzlastdatenübertragung einhergeht. Magnetische Lageregelungsaktuatoren bilden das Rückgrat der CubeSat-Lageregelung. Um deren Leistungsfähigkeit zu erhöhen und den Ressourcenverbrauch zu verringern, wird durch den Autor die numerische Optimierung der drei gebräuchlichen Spulentypen untersucht. Dies führt zur Formulierung eines neuartigen Optimierungsansatzes welcher besser für die Anwendung realer Entwurfsprobleme geeignet ist. Die Optimierungsergebnisse zeigen ein großes Potential für die Optimierung aller betrachteter Spulentypen auf. Der Stand der Technik im Bereich neuartiger Lageregelungsaktuatoren, den sogenannten fluiddynamischen Aktuatoren die auf Drehimpulsaustausch basieren, wird durch den Autor durch die Einführung miniaturisierter 3D-gedruckter Kanäle für die Verwendung auf 1U CubeSats vorangebracht. Im Anschluss an die Entwicklung und funktionale Verifikation werden diese Aktuatoren mit existierenden Reaktionsradsystemen verglichen, was deren Überlegenheit bei agilen Lageregelungsmanövern und der Integration in den Satellitenbus aufzeigt. Weitere Untersuchungen nutzen die additiven Herstellungsverfahren zur Darstellung von redundanten Konzepten bestehend aus vier Aktuatoren mit dreidimensionalen Kanalgeometrien. Abschließend werden Entwicklung, Optimierung und Miniaturisierung der Subsystemkomponenten im Entwurf, Aufbau und Test eines hochintegrierten, multifunktionalen Seitenwandpaneels zusammengeführt. Die Analyse eines 1U CubeSat-Entwurfs unter Verwendung verschiedener Konfigurationen des multifunktionalen Solarpaneels zeigt ein Potential für jeweils mehr als 50% verfügbarer Nutzlastmasse und Nutzlastvolumen vom gesamten Satelliten. Dies hebt die Integrationsdichte von 1U CubeSats auf ein ähnliches Niveau der 3U Formfaktoren, welche gegenwärtig bei den New Space Megakonstellationen zur Anwendung kommen.

Download or read book Spacecraft Attitude Determination and Control written by J.R. Wertz and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 877 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Roger D. Werking Head, Attitude Determination and Control Section National Aeronautics and Space Administration/ Goddard Space Flight Center Extensiye work has been done for many years in the areas of attitude determination, attitude prediction, and attitude control. During this time, it has been difficult to obtain reference material that provided a comprehensive overview of attitude support activities. This lack of reference material has made it difficult for those not intimately involved in attitude functions to become acquainted with the ideas and activities which are essential to understanding the various aspects of spacecraft attitude support. As a result, I felt the need for a document which could be used by a variety of persons to obtain an understanding of the work which has been done in support of spacecraft attitude objectives. It is believed that this book, prepared by the Computer Sciences Corporation under the able direction of Dr. James Wertz, provides this type of reference. This book can serve as a reference for individuals involved in mission planning, attitude determination, and attitude dynamics; an introductory textbook for stu dents and professionals starting in this field; an information source for experimen ters or others involved in spacecraft-related work who need information on spacecraft orientation and how it is determined, but who have neither the time nor the resources to pursue the varied literature on this subject; and a tool for encouraging those who could expand this discipline to do so, because much remains to be done to satisfy future needs.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ... a wise man knows all things in a manner in which this is possible, not, however, knowing them individually. Aristotle. Metaphysics * The problem of consideration of vortex fields' influence on solid body dynamics has a long history. One constantly comes upon it in flight dynamics of airplanes, helicopters, and other flying vehicles (FV) moving in the atmosphere, in dynamics of ships with hydrofoils, and in dynamics of rocket carriers (RC) and spacecrafts (SC) with liquid-propellant rocket engines (LPRE), that are equipped with special damping devices and other structural elements inside fluid tanks. Similar problems occur when solving problems related to attitude control and stabilization of artificial Earth satellites (AES) and spacecrafts with magnetic (electro magnetic) systems, in conducting elements of which eddy currents are induced while control of those vehicles' angular position. It is also true with special test facilities for dynamic testing of space vehicles and their systems, with modern high-speed magnetic suspension transport systems (those based on the phenomenon of 'magnetic levitation'), with generators having rotors carried in 'magnetic bearings', and so on.

Download or read book ACS Without an Attitude written by Harold L. Hallock and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-05-03 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book de-emphasizes the formal mathematical description of spacecraft on-board attitude and orbit applications in favor of a more qualitative, concept-oriented presentation of these topics. The information presented in this book was originally given as a set of lectures in 1999 and 2000 instigated by a NASA Flight Software Branch Chief at Goddard Space Flight Center. The Branch Chief later suggested this book. It provides an approachable insight into the area and is not intended as an essential reference work. ACS Without an Attitude is intended for programmers and testers new to the field who are seeking a commonsense understanding of the subject matter they are coding and testing in the hope that they will reduce their risk of introducing or missing the key software bug that causes an abrupt termination in their spacecraft’s mission. In addition, the book will provide managers and others working with spacecraft with a basic understanding of this subject.

Download or read book Spacecraft Momentum Control Systems written by Frederick A. Leve and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-10-17 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of this book is to serve both as a practical technical reference and a resource for gaining a fuller understanding of the state of the art of spacecraft momentum control systems, specifically looking at control moment gyroscopes (CMGs). As a result, the subject matter includes theory, technology, and systems engineering. The authors combine material on system-level architecture of spacecraft that feature momentum-control systems with material about the momentum-control hardware and software. This also encompasses material on the theoretical and algorithmic approaches to the control of space vehicles with CMGs. In essence, CMGs are the attitude-control actuators that make contemporary highly agile spacecraft possible. The rise of commercial Earth imaging, the advances in privately built spacecraft (including small satellites), and the growing popularity of the subject matter in academic circles over the past decade argues that now is the time for an in-depth treatment of the topic. CMGs are augmented by reaction wheels and related algorithms for steering all such actuators, which together comprise the field of spacecraft momentum control systems. The material is presented at a level suitable for practicing engineers and those with an undergraduate degree in mechanical, electrical, and/or aerospace engineering.
