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

16. 2011 CoDR Critical Interfaces 16 At the PDR level you should at minimum identify these interfaces Interface NameBrief DescriptionPotential Solution EPS/STR The electrical power system boards will need to mount to the RockSat-X deck to fix them rigidly to the launch vehicle. The connection should be sufficient to survive 20Gs 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 RockSat-X deck rigidly. The connection should be sufficient to survive 20Gs 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%. DEP/STR The deployment mechanism must rigidly connect to the RockSat-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. DEP/EPS 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. PM/EPS The photomultiplier requires 800V 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.

18. 2011 CoDR Requirement Verification 18 At the PDR level you should highlight the most critical (Top3?) system and project level requirements and how they will be verified prior to flight. Requirement Verification Method Description They deploable boom shall deploy to a height of no more than 12” DemonstrationBoom will be expanded to full length in the upright position to verify it doesn’t exceed 12” The boom shall extend to the full 12” height in less than 5 seconds from a horizontal position. AnalysisThe system’s dynamical characteristics will be derived from SolidWorks, and available torques will yield minimum response time. The full system shall fit on a single RockSat-X deck InspectionVisual inspection will verify this requirement The sytem shall survive the vibration characteristics prescribed by the RockSat- X program. TestThe system will be subjected to these vibration loads in June during testing week.

19. 2011 CoDR RockSat-X 2011 User’s Guide Compliance 19 Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) mass estimate Estimate on payload dimensions (will it fit in the payload space?) Deployables/booms? How many ADC lines? –Do you understand the format? Asynchronous use? –Do you understand the format? Parallel use? –Do you understand the format? Power lines and timer use? –What do you know so far? CG requirement –Do you understand the requirement Are you utilizing high voltage?

20. 2011 CoDR Sharing Logistics 20 Who are you sharing with? –Summary of your partner’s mission (1 line) Plan for collaboration –How do you communicate? –How will you share designs (solidworks, any actual fit checks before next June)? Structural interface – will you be joining with standoffs or something else (again, be wary of clearance)? grandpmr.com

22. 2011 CoDR EPS: Block Diagram 22 Show the subsystem block diagram with primary component choices highlighted. Power Data/ Control Legend

23. 2011 CoDR EPS: Trade Studies 23 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 XMegaATMega 32 L Cost 810 Availability 10 Clock Speed 105 A/D Converters 95 Programming Language 88 Average: 97.6 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.

24. 2011 CoDR EPS: Risk Matrix 24 Consequence EPS.RSK.1 EPS.RSK.3 EPS.RSK.4 EPS.RSK.2 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 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

25. 2011 CoDR Prototyping Plan Name of Presenter 25

26. 2011 CoDR Prototyping Plan 26 Concern about mounting the PM to the deck has been expressed STR PM DEP EPS Concerns about testing the PM on the ground have been expressed Mounting the probe to the end of the boom will present a significant challenge The functionality of the microcontoller board needs to be verified by CDR Prototype this interface and verify the fit with the PM Develop a test plan and verify it with LASP mentors Mount a test probe and verify structural rigidity Prototype the micro board on a bread board to verify functionality Risk/ConcernAction What will you build/test between now and CDR to mitigate risk?
