5. Page 5 GLAST LAT ProjectAugust 30, 2004 Items To Be Addressed Compatibility with LAT Requirements –Purpose for Accelerometers –Selected Accelerometer Models –Sensitivity Requirements –Dimensions –Test and Flight Vacuum Compatibility –Outgassing issues Compatibility with NRL –Facility capability: 32 Control, 300 Response –Connector Type: Voltage Output (BNC), or Charge Output (10-32 Coax) –Cable length Accelerometer Locations by subsystem –ACD –TKR –CAL –Ebox –Mech Grid RMB XLAT RAD –SC Mount Conclusions

6. Page 6 GLAST LAT ProjectAugust 30, 2004 Compatibility with LAT requirements Purpose for Accelerometers –Record acceleration vectors at key points on the integrated LAT such that natural frequency, transfer functions, and peak accelerations are captured Natural frequency measurements provide insight into modes and shapes (phase) Transfer functions (response divided by input) provide information on damping Peak accelerations ensure the LAT and subsystems are not undertested Accelerometer Models selected (Piezotronics brand) Model Validation Performance Verification 355M64 – Single Axis (9.6mmW X 5.8mmT) 356M109 – Three Axis (12.0mm W X 7.0mm T)

7. Page 7 GLAST LAT ProjectAugust 30, 2004 Compatibility with LAT requirements Sensitivity Requirements –Based on sine vibration pre-test analysis and accelerometer location optimization routines, 10mV/g accelerometers provide needed resolution to obtain the above requirements –Acoustic and shock environments demand higher frequency data acquisition; The accelerometers are compatible with high rate DAQ systems Dimensions –Internal accelerometer placement must be carefully executed, as clearance is small. The accelerometers selected do not violate any dynamic clearance envelopes (to be confirmed when final locations are specified) Test and Flight Vacuum Compatibility –Piezotronics has stated that these sealed accelerometers can withstand the vacuum of space without leaking or bursting Outgassing issues –A detailed survey of all accelerometer types and associated cables has been performed to identify outgassing materials. Some problems have been identified, but steps are being actively taken to ensure no outgassing during TVAC

8. Page 8 GLAST LAT ProjectAugust 30, 2004 Compatibility with NRL Facility capability: NRL is easily able to handle the number of accel channels we are requesting –Vibration facility can handle 32 control accelerometers and 300 response channels –LAT sine vibration testing requires 49 total channels (control and response designations TBD, but only a few control channels are anticipated) –LAT acoustic testing requires 64 response channels –No LAT shock testing performed Connector Type –Positive confirmation by NRL Voltage Output accelerometers require BNC connectors Charge Output accelerometers require 10-32 Coax connectors –Current accelerometers selected are ICP (Voltage) Type with BNC connectors, so they are compatible with NRL’s shaker Cable length –Rough calculations show a 15 foot (~4.5 m) cable length requirement to allow routing from the LAT to NRL’s patch panel –When the cable routing is finalized, the cable lengths will be rechecked
