AAE450 Spring 2009  Dnepr User’s Guide –Requirements Volume & mass Center of gravity (CG) offset Limit Loads Stiffness Requirements  Primary Structure –Transfer loads throughout structure –Handle loads greater than that created by their own weight –Secondary structure will support and mount equipment [Tim Rebold] [STRC] Payload Center of Gravity Limit Loads (g's) Acceleration AxialLateral 1 st stage burn: Maximum lateral acceleration 3.0±0.50.5±0.5 2 nd stage burn: Maximum longitudinal acceleration 7.8± cg OTV Table based from Dnepr User’s Guide

AAE450 Spring 2009 Primary Structure  Assumptions –Symmetry: no lateral displacement of cg –Loads uniformly distributed –Contribution of thin sheets to bending & compression is negligible –Worst case scenario: CG maximum distance axially [Tim Rebold] [STRC] L t D Rings Stiffeners  Conclusions  Mass: 166 kg  Cost: $ 1500  M inert budget: <70 kg f inert = 0.4 Thin wall shear panels Floor supports (beams)

AAE450 Spring 2009 Future Work  Mass breakdown sheet in Excel –Include mass, cg, operating temperature range, and inertia matrix of all subsystems and components that make up the OTV and its payload (lander & rover)  Matlab script –Read data from Excel to calculate entire OTV (with payload) cg, and inertia matrix (about cg coordinates) in stowed (launch) and deployed (trans-lunar) stages  FEM analysis –Obtain better approximation of cg and inertia values –Perform modal analysis to see if OTV meets stiffness requirements placed on Delta II payload [Tim Rebold] [STRC]
