Expected Results • This is vital in showing you understand the science concepts • Go over what you expect to find – Ex. What wavelengths do you expect to see? How many particles do you expect to measure? How well do you expect the spin stabilizer to work (settling time? )? How many counts of radiation? etc Rock. Sat-C 2011 PDR 13

Critical Interfaces • At the PDR level you should at minimum identify these interfaces Interface Name Brief Description Potential Solution EPS/STR The electrical power system boards will need to mount to the Rock. Sat-X deck to fix them rigidly to the launch vehicle. The connection should be sufficient to survive 20 Gs in the thrust axis and 10 Gs in the lateral axes. Buckling is a key failure mode. Heritage shows that stainless steel or aluminum stand-offs work well. Sizes and numbers required will be determined by CDR. PM/STR The photomultiplier will need to mount to the Rock. Sat-X deck rigidly. The connection should be sufficient to survive 20 Gs in the thrust axis and 10 Gs in the lateral axes. Most likely, the PM will hang, and the supports will be in tension. A spring and damper support will need to be developed. The system should decrease the overall amplitude of vibration no less than 50%. The deployment mechanism must rigidly connect to the Rock. Sat-X deck. The actuator has pre-drilled and tapped 8 -32 mounts. 8 -32 cap head screws will mount the deployment mechanism to the plate. The screws will come through the bottom of the plate to mate with the DEP system. The deployment mechanism has a standard, male RS-232 DB -9 connector to interface to a motor controller (male), which is provided with the DEP mechanism. The motor controller will be controlled by EPS. A standard, serial cable with female DB-9 connector on both ends will connect the motor controller to the DEP mechanism. The motor controller to EPS system interface is yet to be determined. The photomultiplier requires 800 V DC and outputs pulses at TTL levels. The PM also requires a ground connection. A TBD 2 pin power connector (insulated) will connect the EPS board to the PM. A separate, TBD connector will transmit the pulse train to the asynchronous line at a TBD Baud rate.

Requirement Verification • At the PDR level you should highlight the most critical (Top 3? ) system and project level requirements and how they will be verified prior to flight. Requirement They deploable boom shall deploy to a height of no more than 12” The boom shall extend to the full 12” height in less than 5 seconds from a horizontal position. The full system shall fit on a single Rock. Sat-X deck The sytem shall survive the vibration characteristics prescribed by the Rock. Sat. X program. Verification Method Description Demonstration Boom will be expanded to full length in the upright position to verify it doesn’t exceed 12” Analysis Inspection Test Rock. Sat-C 2011 PDR The system’s dynamical characteristics will be derived from Solid. Works, and available torques will yield minimum response time. Visual inspection will verify this requirement The system will be subjected to these vibration loads in June during testing week. 20

EPS: Trade Studies • Show rationale for you choices in components. You basically weigh your options against your requirements and what each component can offer. Don’t forget things like: availability, cost, and prior knowledge. µController XMega ATMega 32 L Cost 8 10 Availability 10 10 Clock Speed 10 5 A/D Converters 9 5 Programming Language 8 8 Average: 9 7. 6 • • • Rock. Sat-C 2011 PDR You should have completed a trade study for each block, but you only need to present the 2 -3 most important. Numbers are relatively subjective, but 10 should represent a perfect fit, 5 will work, but is not desirable, and 0 does NOT meet expectations. The component with the highest average should drive your choice for design. 25

EPS: Risk Matrix EPS. RSK. 1 Consequence EPS. RSK. 4 EPS. RSK. 2 EPS. RSK. 3 • • • Risks for the subsystem under discussion should be documented here. The horizontal represents the likelihood of a risk, the vertical is the corresponding consequence. Risks placement should help drive mitigation priority Possibility EPS. RSK. 1: Microcontroller fails in-flight, and the mission objects aren’t met EPS. RSK. 2: A suitable motor controller cannot be procured to meet mission objectives EPS. RSK. 3: The EPS system can’t survive launch conditions, and the mission objectives aren’t met EPS. RSK. 4: Flying monkeys delay the launch by an hour putting a strain on the power budget Rock.
