  1. See Table: SMAD p. 305 for directory to Spacecraft design constraints Space Environment • Radiation (SMAD 214) • UV • Ionizing • TID • SEU • Disturbances (SMAD 366 - 367) • Gravity Gradient • Magnetic • Solar Pressure • Aerodynamic • Self-disturbances • Vacuum (various) • Outgassing TVC • Vacuum welding • Heat transfer • Drag (SMAD 144, 209) • Atomic Oxygen (SMAD 211) • Debris (SMAD 840) • Natural • Synthetic Engin 176

  2. Space Environment - i • Vacuum • Outgassing http://epims.gsfc.nasa.gov/og/ • Max TVC in % is specified - usually 0.5% • Problems with outgassing: • Destroys materials (brittle, flaking, delamination, adhesives, colors) • Re-condense on sensitive surfaces (especially cooled ones - optics) • Disturbance torques (usually minor) • Vacuum welding • Zero lubricant or contaminant to separate surfaces Galileo: Vacuum Welded Engin 176

  3. Space Environment - ii • Vacuum • Outgassing • Vacuum welding • Heat transfer (see future lecture but for now…) • Heat balance is radiative only (sun, earth, space) • => periodic inputs in LEO, t = 1/r2, • All collected solar energy goes somewhere (solar panels as radiators) • No fluid convection - even in pressurized regions • Fans are suspect and often don’t help • Lightweight structures and adhesives (eg RTV) are poor conductors Engin 176

  4. Space Environment - iii • Drag • 1/2 rv2 x A x Cd (calc @ 300 km = STS / Station)= 0.5 x 10-11 kg/m3 x (7500) 2 m2/s2 x 22 m2 x 2 = 0.001 kg m / s2 (Newton) to 0.01 N for 10x r => Acceleration = F/m ~ 10-4 N = 10-5 g and Orbit lifetime 10 to 50 days (note Cd > 1 and dependence on ballistic coefficient) • Solar Activity • Roughly factor 10 variation over solar cycle • Atomic Oxygen • Only a factor with propulsion (otherwise you’ll deorbit first) Engin 176

  5. Space Environment - iv • Debris • Natural • Synthetic • Rockets and spacecraft are commonly debris controlled but accidents do (rarely) happen • Arthur Clarke “end of LEO” prediction • Collision mechanics, the cheese cutter and tethers Engin 176

  6. Space Environment - v • Radiation • UV: materials degradation problem - optics, adhesives, organics • Ionizing • SEU: EDAC, fast processing, hard storage, watchdogs & rebooting • SEL: Current detection, watchdogs & power cycling • TID: Accumulated damage, mainly from protons - well characterized and quantified - 10 krad is standard part tolerance - how do laptops work in STS? (LEO, low I, shield, short duration) Engin 176

  7. Space Environment - vi • Disturbances (SMAD 366 - 367) • Gravity Gradient • Magnetic • Solar Pressure • Aerodynamic • Self-disturbances (eg bearing noise, magnetics, crew motion & mechanisms) Engin 176
