Satellite System and Engineering Procedure-An Introduction Instructor: Roy C. Hsu Computer Science and Information Engineering Department National Chia-Yi University 10/05/2006 OUTLINE Introduction Satellite System Engineering Procedure Cases Study 2 INTRODUCTION Definition (from Wikipedia) A satellite is any object that orbits another object (which is known as its primary). Satellites can be manmade or may be naturally occurring such as moons, comets, asteroids, planets, stars, and even galaxies. An example of a natural satellite is Earth's moon. 3 INTRODUCTION (Cont.) Human-made devices: artificial satellite From Science Fiction the first fictional depiction of an artificial satellite launched into Earth orbit –by Jules Verne's The Begum's Millions (1879). Jules Gabriel Verne (February 8, 1828–March 24, 1905), a French author and a pioneer of the science-fiction genre. Verne was noted for writing about cosmic, atmospheric, and underwater travel before air travel and submarines were commonplace and before practical means of space travel had been devised. The first artificial satellite was Sputnik 1 launched by Soviet Union on 4 October 1957. 4 INTRODUCTION (Cont.) . list of countries with an independent capability to place satellites in orbit, including production of the necessary launch vehicle. 5 First launch by country Country Year of first launch First satellite In orbit in 2006 Soviet Union 1957 Sputnik 1 87 United States 1958 Explorer 1 413 Australia 1964 Title Unknown ?

MISSION AND PAYLOAD Space mission: the purpose of placing in equipment (payload) and/or personnel to carry out activities that cannot be performed on earth Payload: design of the equipment is strongly influenced by the specific mission, anticipated lifetime, launch vehicle selected, and the environments of launch and space. 7 INTRODUCTION (Cont.) Possible missions Communications Earth Resources Weather Navigation Astronomy Space Physics Space Stations Military Technology Proving 8 SATELLITE SYSTEM Space Segment Payload Structure Bus Attitude Determination And Control Power Thermal Command and Telemetry Propulsion Data Handling 9 SATELLITE SYSTEM(Cont’d) A satellite system is composed of the spacecraft (bus) and payload(s) A spacecraft consists of the following subsystems Propulsion and Launch Systems Attitude Determination and Control Power Systems Thermal Systems Configuration and Structure Systems Communications Command and Telemetry Data Handling and Processing 10 SATELLITE SYSTEM (cont’d) Propulsion and Launch Systems Launch vehicle: used to put a spacecraft into space. Once the weight and volume of the spacecraft have been estimated, a launch vehicle can be selected from a variety of the manufacturers. If it is necessary to deviate from the trajectory provided by the launch vehicle or correct for the errors in the initial condition, additional force generation or propulsion is necessary On-board propulsion systems generally require a means to determine the position and attitude of the spacecraft so that the required trust vectors can be precisely determined and applied. 11 SATELLITE SYSTEM (cont’d) Attitude Determination and Control System (ADCS) ADCS are required to point the spacecraft or a component, such as solar array, antenna, propulsion thrust axis, and instrument sensor, in a specific direction. Attitude determination can be accomplished by determining the orientation w.r.t. the star, earth, inertial space, geomagnetic field and the sun. Attitude control can be either passive or active or combination. 12 SATELLITE SYSTEM (cont’d) Power Systems Spacecraft power can be obtained from the sun through solar cell arrays and thermal electrical generators and from on-board devices such as chemical batteries, fuel cell, and nuclear theemelectronic and therm-ionic converters. Most satellites use a combination of solar cell array and chemical batteries. 13 SATELLITE SYSTEM (cont’d) Thermal Control Systems The function of the thermal control system is to maintain temperatures to within specified limit throughout the mission to allow the onboard systems to function properly and have a long life Thermal balance can be controlled by using heaters, passive or active radiators, and thermal blankets of various emissivities on the exterior. 14 SATELLITE SYSTEM (cont’d) Configuration and Structure Systems The configuration of a spacecraft is constrained by the payload capability and the shape of the fairing of expendable launch vehicle. Large structures, such as solar arrays and antenna are erected in the space through deployable components. Explosive devices, activated by timing devices or command, are used to separate the spacecraft from the launch vehicles, release and deploy mechanisms, and cut cables. 15 SATELLITE SYSTEM (cont’d) Command and Telemetry The Command and Telemetry system provide information to and from the S/C respectively. Commands are used to provide information to change the state of the subsystems of the S/C and to se the clock. The Telemetry subsystem collects and processes a variety of data and modulates the signal to be transmitted from the S/C. 16 SATELLITE SYSTEM (cont’d) Data Handling and Processing Data processing is important to help control and reconfigure the spacecraft to optimize the overall system performance and to process data for transmission. Consists of processor(s), RAM, ROM, Data Storage, and implemented by machine, assembly or high level language. Low mass, volume, and power requirements, insensitivity to radiation, and exceptional reliability are important characteristics of processor. 17 SATELLITE SYSTEM (cont’d) Communications Radio frequency communication is used to transmit information between the S/C and terrestrial sites and perhaps other S/Cs. Information transmitted from the S/C include the state and health of the subsystems in addition to data from the primary instruments. Information transmitted to the S/C generally consists of data to be stored by on-board processors and commands to change the state of the on-board system either in real-time or through electronic logic that execute them as a function of time or as required. 18 Engineering Procedures Space Systems Engineering System Definition System, Subsystem, Components, and Parts A large collection of subsystems is called a segment. In a space mission, the spacecraft, the launch vehicle, the tracking stations, the mission control center, etc., may each be considered a system or segment by their principle developers but are subsystems of the overall system. Value of a System System’s ability to satisfy criteria generally called system level requirements or standards for judgment. 19 Engineering Procedures (Cont’d) Engineering a Satellite Mission Needs Conceptualization and system requirements Planning and Marketing Research and Technology Development Engineering and Design Fabrication and Assembly Integration and Test Deployment, operation and phase-out 20 Engineering Procedures (Cont’d) Mission Needs Conceptualization and system requirements Planning and Marketing Research and Tech.
