5 GLAST LAT ProjectDOE/NASA Mechanical Systems Peer Review, March 27, 2003 Section 4.5 - Mechanical Systems X-LAT Assy5 X-LAT Plate Design Drivers Provide cooling path to LAT electronics boxes –Must have sufficient margin to cool boxes if one heat pipe fails Act as EMI –Z closeout Include adjustable spacers to allow for tolerance build-up in box height –Allow for lateral slip at spacer locations to limit stress to boxes Accommodate attachment to thermal link to Grid electronics boxes Have removable plates for easier box servicing Make side plate/heat pipe assemblies rotationally symmetric so one spare can function in both locations Survive inertial and acoustic loading from launch

6 GLAST LAT ProjectDOE/NASA Mechanical Systems Peer Review, March 27, 2003 Section 4.5 - Mechanical Systems X-LAT Assy6 X-LAT Plate Design (1 of 2) Plate is not structural (no need for honey comb). Plate thickness is sized for thermal considerations –Mid-plate 4.76 mm (0.1875 in) thick –X-LAT (side) plates are 3.18 mm (0.125 in) thick –Material is aluminum 6061-T6 Heat pipes are bonded to plates with NuSil CV-2942 conductive RTV and riveted every 50.9 mm (2 in) The two X-LAT plates are bolted to the mid-plate at SLAC with #6 bolts every 25.4 mm (1.0 In) to provide a thermally adequate joint between the plates X-LAT assembly is bolted to the EMI skirt around the perimeter with #8 bolts. Oversized holes allow for adjustment. The X-LAT assembly is pinned to the grid attachment bracket to ensure alignment of 3-way heat pipe interface.

7 GLAST LAT ProjectDOE/NASA Mechanical Systems Peer Review, March 27, 2003 Section 4.5 - Mechanical Systems X-LAT Assy7 X-LAT Plate Design (2 of 2) An alignment template will be produced along with the X-LAT plates and mid-plate to allow installation of the electronics boxes in the correct position and to allow integration of the X-LAT assembly. Spacers adjustable in the Z direction are bolted to the X-LAT plate at the corners of the electronics boxes. These spacers allow for tolerance build-up in the Z direction between the boxes and the X-LAT plate, and slippage in the X-Y direction to prevent excess force build-up as Grid flexes under launch loading

15 GLAST LAT ProjectDOE/NASA Mechanical Systems Peer Review, March 27, 2003 Section 4.5 - Mechanical Systems X-LAT Assy15 X-LAT Plate Stress Analysis (2 of 2) Loads –Highest load on plate is random vibration load –Calculate 3  random vibration load factor in g using Miles’ equation => 3*sqrt((  /2)*PSD*Q*f)), where: PSD at first resonant frequency is 0.08 g**2/Hz (source – LAT-TD-01240) Q = 50 (1% damping) F = 97.7 Hz Load cases run –74.4 g acceleration normal to plate –74.4 g g lateral in plane of plate Load case not run –Load applied as Grid-mounted electronics boxes move normal to plate relative to EMI skirt. –Needs to be run at LAT level
