SPACE EXPLOITATION - SPACELAB AN EASY APPROACH
FOR DEVELOPING COUNTRIES : PROSPECTIVES
SUGGESTIONS BY AERITALIA
E. VALLERANI (Aeritalia S.p.A., Turin, Italy) IN : International
Scientific Conference on Space, 23rd, Rome, Italy, March 24, 25,
1983, Proceedings . Rome, Rassegna Internazionale Elettronica
Nucleare ed Aerospaziale, 1984, p. 45-49.
The problem of access by developing countries to space
information and resources is discussed from the Italian point of
view. The international cooperation involved in the development
of IRIS, Spacelab, and Eureca is considered ; the ongoing
commercialization of space in the STS, Ariane, and Space Station
programs is examined; and the need for careful planning and
preparation in the developing countries to take advantage of future
space -exploitation opportunities is stressed. It is proposed that
Italian universities and industry provide assistance in training
personnel and designing payloads to meet the needs of developing
countries.

In addition to the manned, core station, the facilities of the
Space Station are to include also a Teleoperated Service Vehicle,
a cryogenic Orbit Transfer Vehicle, and unmanned Space Platforms.
Following President Reagan's invitation for international
AND
participation in the Space Station program, the Space Platform is
of particular interest to Europe. A Space Platform is defined as
an unmanned orbiting facility in which essential services are
supplied by a common Resources Module while payloads can be
attached or recovered on a temporary basis. The present
investigation is concerned with the extent of potential interest in
Europe in using such a Platform , the associated costs of
development and operation, and the economic attractions to
Europe of undertaking such a development. It is concluded that
the Space Platform (or Platforms) appears to represent a
cost-effective area of participation in the U.S. Space Station
program , at a cost Europe could afford, and with a function useful
both to Europe and the U.S. G.R.

Potential, commercially oriented European space missions are
discussed in terms of the required capabilities, equipment, and
applications. A trend toward heavier lift launch vehicles is foreseen,
together with an interface with a long- life orbital base of operations
and teleoperated service vehicles (TSV ). On -orbit servicing of
satellites is inevitable for improving the reliability, mission duration,
and cost effectiveness of space utilization hardware. The TSV
would operate out of a space station and be capable of orbital
transfer, rendezvous, and servicing functions . It would place ,
retrieve, and repair satellites and provide space station logistic
support. The TSV could also be either ground-based or expendable,
and in any case would be controlled via relay satellite, unless
interfacing with the Shuttle or functioning in proximity to the Space
Station. Particularly frequent use would be made of the TSV in
servicing space -based materials processing facilities. M.S.K.

In 1980, the Department of Communications (DOC) decided to
commence Phase A feasibility studies for a mobile satellite system
in the 800 MHz band. The considered system would use a
geostationary satellite to provide direct communication with vehicles
in nonurban areas throughout Canada including offshore coverage
of territorial waters. Promising results were obtained with respect
to potential market, system feasibility, and commercial viability. It
was, therefore, decided to proceed with the second phase (Phase
B Project Definition) in April 1982. Phase B involved an examination
of system architecture, spacecraft, mobile radios, ground stations,
Demand Assignment Multiple Access ( DAMA) systems, and
business requirements. The present investigation attempts to
provide an outline of some of the results and to project some
plans for the future. It is concluded that during the studies there
has been an evolution toward a commercially-realizable first
generation system. G.R.

Economic considerations in the development of a design for a
Permanent Polar Platform (PPP) for global monitoring are
discussed . Attention is given to the need for interchaneability in
the design of various payload modules including: propulsion system ,
an auxiliary tank system , an equipment and avionics system and
an orbital crew cabin . The costs of several different design
configurations are compared with total LANDSAT system costs
are found to be competitive. It is shown that the overall costs of
the system can be cut in half once the permanent platforms are
in place. I.H.

(AIAA PAPER 85-0327)
A method is proposed that provides advance information about
unpredictable atmospheric density dispersions that must be
accommodated during random operations of
aeroassisted -orbital- transfer vehicles (AOTVs ). The principal feature
is that a test or ' scouť projectile precedes the AOTV through the
same region of the atmosphere as that of the predicted
transatmospheric flight trajectory . The atmospheric density structure
is determined from the vehicle's aerodynamic deceleration
characteristics by on -board or ground -based tracking equipment.
The time lag between passage of the projectile and the AOTV
can be adjusted to only that time necessary to implement required
guidance, navigation , and control (GN&C) corrections. The various
strategies available to control the projectile's flight characteristics
are analyzed in detail. The results are correlated with
aerothermodynamic heating and materials requirements to ensure
the survival of the projectile and, consequently, the capability of
the AOTV to navigate a variable upper atmosphere within specified
limits. Author

(Contract JPL-955687; NAGW- 121 )
Both the theoretical reasons for considering a non - circular
format for the Large Deployable Reflector, and a potentially
realizable concept for such a device, are discussed . The optimum
systems for diffraction limited telescopes with incoherent detection
have either a single filled aperture, or two such apertures as an
interferometer to synthesize a larger aperture . For a single aperture
of limited area, a reflector in the form of a slot can be used to
give increased angular resolution . It is shown how a 20 x 8 meter
telescope can be configured to fit the Space Shuttle bay, and
deployed with relatively simple operations. The relationship between
the sunshield design and the inclination of the orbit is discussed.

The possible use of the LDR as a basic module to permit the
construction of supergiant space telescopes and interferometers
both for IR / submm studies and for the entire ultraviolet through
mm wave spectral region is discussed . Author

А. METHODOLOGY FOR ORGANIZING PERFORMANCE
REQUIREMENTS FOR COMPLEX DYNAMICAL SYSTEMS
H. L. MALCHOW and S. R. CROOPNICK (Charles Stark Draper
Laboratory, Inc., Cambridge, MA) IEEE Transactions on
Engineering Management (ISSN 0018-9391), vol. EM-32, Feb.
1985, p. 10-15 . refs
Management of the development of complex dynamical systems
includes the tasks of establishing system performance
requirements. These requirements are typically obtained from a
nonsystematic process, which often results in premature
constraining of system design. This paper describes an orderly
methodology for establishing performance requirements for
complex systems. The methodology uses a 'top -down' approach.
Connections between the system high level mission requirements
and the lower level functional performance requirements are made
in a series of steps. The steps include identification of system
activities, identification of activity -derived state vector elements ,
definition of state maintenance functions, and identification of
functional components. Author

The conceptual design for a scaled truss antenna structures
experiment program (STASEP) is presented. The hardware analysis
of the scaled truss antenna structure (STAS) was performed by
interactive design and evaluation of advanced spacecraft ( IDEAS)
computer aided, interactive, design and analysis program. Four
STAS's were designed to be launched by the Shuttle, tested by
using the space technology experiments platform (STEP) and space
transportation system (STS), and then free flown in short lifetime
orbits. Data were gathered on deployment structural
characteristics, geometric accuracies, thermal performance, and
drag and lifetime as an orbiting spacecraft. Structural and thermal
properties were determined for the STAS, including mass
properties , thermal loading, structural natural frequencies, and
mode shapes. The necessary analysis, scaling , and ground testing

MISSIONS / PLANNING PANEL

Avail : NTIS HC A14/ MF A01 CSCL 22A
A panel discussion was held to develop a viewpoint of space
power technology needs and state of readiness for future mission
scenarios. Among the points made in the discussion, it was agreed
that missions, particularly the far term ones, do serve to drive
technology; however, as the missions become nearer term , issues
of schedule and cost severely limit the willingness to accept risk .
There are, in fact, no rewards to a mission manager for introducing
new technology. Mission downscaling is the usual response to
technology limitations. All panelists agreed that there exists a
serious gap between when technologists feel their job is done

and what mission managers need for decision . Typically a two to
three year engineering development gap exists. It is essential to
take technologies to the engineering model level and conduct a
flight demonstration to close this gap. All agreed that increased
effort should be made to achieve stronger interactions between
planners and technologists and that workshops like the present
one are a step in the right direction . Technologists need mission
credibility and vice versa. R.J.F.

development. Vehicle requirements as well as technology needs
and need dates were established and technology programs initiated
to support those potential developments in a timely manner. It is
assumed that advanced OTV will be space based and fully reusable
for low cost operations, use aeroassist for return to low -Earth -orbit,
and evolve to a man - rated system . The propulsion system will
need to maintain high performance over a wide thrust range for
mission flexibility, ranging from the transfer of large, acceleration
limited structures from LEO to GEO, to demanding high reliability
round - trip manned missions . Technology advances are needed in
propulsion , aerobraking, low - gravity cryogenic fluid management,
and in environmentally compatible, low - loss cryogenic tankage. In
addition , diagnostic instrumentation for monitoring the health of
on -board components and systems, and automated check - out

The Skyhook concept is reviewed and the use of a tethered
satellite system (TSS ) to enable scientific investigations from the
shuttle using a closed loop control system is examined . The
tethered satellite system has capabilities for deployment toward
or away from Earth , for multiple round trip missions , and for
deployment at distances up to 100 KN from the orbiter. The
deployer, which consists of an entendable boom , a reel for the
tether, and the tether itself, permits deployment and retrieval at a
safe distance, allows alignment of the force vector of the tether
through the center of gravity of the shuttle, and gives some initial
gravity gradient separation to aid in deployment and ultimate
retrieval of the tethered satellite. Charts show TSS activities in

The analysis of future commercial space -processing and
earth - observation missions indicates that their implementation in
space , their operational utilization as well as their maintenance
will advantageously be supported by a common in -orbit
infrastructure (101). Thus, a space - processing mission will be
accommodated on a platform in LEO and will require dedicated
vehicle and servicing equipment to ensure its logistic resupply ,
the maintenance and exchange of payload facilities, and the 3
maintenance and refueling of the platform . This space -processing
mission is the most demanding one, and the definition of the
architecture of the 101 is based on its requirements. The 101 has
to fulfill several functions, and the repartition of the tasks among
some of or all its elements will depend on the scenario of utilization
of the platform and on the time frame. Three candidate 101
architectures are proposed which differ in their level of utilization
of U.S. facilities, and a scenario of implementation of a European
IOI is proposed. It is split into three successive steps which allow
Europe to benefit from participation in the U.S. Space Station on
the way to complete independence in supporting commercial

A generic class of flexible systems, characterized by finitely
many lightly damped harmonic oscillators, is analyzed by means
of the 'open -loop principal component analysis', that is, singular
value analysis and Gramian balancing. As the main result, it is
shown that, as the damping ratio goes to zero, the balanced
state coordinates are decoupled and coincide with the modal
coordinates. Further, simple formulas expressing the 'asymptotic

easily generates nonlinear structural models for different
configurations and orientations. The control system design and
analysis tool includes structural dynamics, coupling of attached

docking transients. Multiple input/output optimal control systems
for the linear models are developed with modern and classical

NASA is currently exploring the feasibility of developing a large
deployable reflector ( LDR ) astronomical facility to perform
astrophysical studies in the mid 1990's in the IR and submillimeter
portion of the spectrum. This paper examines a combination of
automatic deployment and on-orbit assembly that may reduce the
technological complexity and cost of the LDR system. Two Shuttle
volume budget scenarios are examined to assess the potential of
various technological tools to reduce the LDR system complexity.
It is noted that the LDR design must be flexible and allow one
subsystem to be modified without adversely affecting the entire
system. One way to achieve this flexibility is a modular design
approach (MDA) in which the major subsystems are physically
separated during launch and assembled on orbit. NASA is defining

The energy equivalence to construct equivalent continua for
the actual lattice structure is described . An energy equivalent
continuum is defined as that which has the same amount of strain
and kinetic energies stored in it as the original lattice structure
when both are subjected to the same loading conditions. The
8
equivalent continuum is characterized by its strain and kinetic
energies from which the constitutive relations and the equations
of motion can be derived. A simple method to model large rigid
jointed lattices as continuous media with couple stresses is
presented. The transition from the discrete system to the
continuous medium is achieved by expanding the displacements
and the rotations of the nodal points in a Taylor series about a
suitable chosen origin. Basic kinematic assumptions are introduced
to insure that the assumptions used in deriving the governing
equations of the modeled continuum are satisfied. The number of
terms retained in the Taylor series expansion will depend upon
the properties to be evaluated . This implies that the kind of
continuum needed to model from the discrete lattice, before the
actual properties are derived was to predetermined . E.A.K.

In recent years a new body of control theory has been
developed for the design of control systems for Large Space
Structures (LSS ). The problems of testing this theory on LSS
hardware are aggravated by the expense and risk of actual in
orbit tests. Ground tests on large space structures can provide a
proving ground for candidate control systems, but such tests require
a unique facility for their execution . The current development of
such a facility at the NASA Marshall Space Flight Center ( MSFC)
is the subject of this report. Author

An aerobraking orbital transfer vehicle ( AOTV ) concept, which
has an aerobrake structure that is integrated with the propulsion
stage, is discussed . The concept vehicle is to be assembled in
space and is space-based. The advantages of aeroassist over an
all propulsive vehicle are discussed and it is shown that the vehicle
considered is very competitive with inflatable and deployable
concepts from mass and performance aspects. The aerobrake
geometry is an ellipsoidally blunted , raked -off, elliptical wide-angle
cone with a toroidal skirt. Propellant tanks, engines, and
subsystems are integrated into a closed , isogrid aerobrake structure
which provides rigidity. The vehicle has two side-firing, gimbaled
RL- 10 type engines and carries 38,000 kg of useable propellant.
The trajectory during aerobraking is determined from an adaptive
guidance logic, and the heating is determined from engineering
correlations as well as 3-D Navier-Stokes solutions. The AOTV is
capable of placing 13,500 kg payload into geosynchronous Earth
orbit (GEO) or carrying a LEO-GEO-LEO round - trip payload of
7100 kg . A two- stage version considered for lunar missions results

An example of a truss structure with limited global stiffness,
measured by some parameter k, is discussed . The optimal structural
design problem of maximizing the external load intensity, with axial
stresses in the rods of the truss remaining within an allowable
range, is well known and leads to a statically determinate solution
with uniformly loaded elements. However, if one takes into account
the additional constraint on stiffness k, the problem is open and
the solution leads, in general , to a redundant truss. The paper
presents this problem and proposes its application to optimal design
of supporting structures. Author

Trends related to the growing industrial significance of space
systems point to the need for structures whose size substantially
exceeds the linear dimensions of the transportation vehicle. The
large elements required may be obtained on the basis of a use of
expandable or erectable structures. Inflatable, space -rigidized
structures represent a class of expandable structures with a number
of significant advantages. The wall of an inflatable,
chemically -rigidized object consists of a thin , fiber- reinforced
composite lamina. This ' balloon' is assembled and launched with
the wall in its flexible, prepegged state, to enable its folding for
stowage in the transportation vehicle . Attention is given to details
regarding inflatable structures in space, aspects of material
selection , and materials development tests. G.R.

The purpose of this paper is to explain the
variable- geometry-truss (VGT) concept and to discuss its
applications to deployable linear and curvilinear trusses and a
manipulator arm . The VGT consists of the repetition of an
octahedral truss module longitudinally. The geometrical
transformation of an octahedron is the basis of the present concept.
The principal mechanical feature of the truss is that the lateral
members of the truss are variable-length beams, while the diagonal
members are fixed-length beams. Through such mechanisms, the
truss can be transformed to varieties of configurations. Both
simultaneous and sequential modes of transformation ( that is ,
deployment) are shown . An application of the concept to a
10
manipulator arm having multiple degrees of freedom is discussed.
The resulting VGT manipulator can be programmed to retreat and ORI
deploy and take a position in any desired configuration. The basic
kinetic geometry of the VGT manipulator is established. Author POG

Very large and accurate reflective surfaces are required for
future space applications such as solar rocket propulsion, radar,
laser power transmission and relay , solar energy collection ,
telescopes, and others. Present techniques used to construct highly
accurate reflectors are limited in application to diameters of a few
meters. Metallized thin film membranes have the potential to satisfy
the requirements of most future applications with minimum weight
systems. The objective of this research was to identify materials,
construction and control techniques to improve the surface
accuracy of inflatable reflectors . Film joining and forming, support
structure design options, surface accuracy measurement system
options and electrostatic surface configuration control techniques
were investigated. Prototype models were designed, built , and
tested to demonstrate film forming techniques, support structure
deployment, and electrostatic membrane configuration control
utilizing segmented charge plates and an electron gun. A laser
ray -tracing technique was employed to measure surface accuracies.
These demonstrations verified the feasibility of the concepts.

electrical power, propulsion and thermal control subsystems. The
general arrangement allows extensive subsystem adaptation to
mission needs. Kits provide for the addition of tape recorders,
increased power levels and propulsion growth . Both 3 - axis and
spin stabilized flight proven attitude control subsystems are

secondary payload for low cost, or on the STS with a PAM-D or
other suitable upper stage. Multi-spacecraft launches are possible
with either booster. Launch vehicle integration is simple and

The effects of imperfections on the behavior of a compression
member were determined as well as the effects of the member
imperfections on the behavior of pin -ended space trusses. Based
on the results, quantitative conclusions were made as to the effects
of the member imperfections, as well as qualitative conclusions.
An analytical model is developed to predict the behavior of an
axially loaded compression member that is restrained by a structure
surrounding it, has initial out-of-straightness, is eccentrically loaded
at its ends, and / or has residual stresses present. The member
cross-sections modelled are tubular and built-up cruciforms. The
behavior includes both elastic and inelastic pre-buckling behavior,
the formation of a plastic hinge, and the post-buckling behavior of
the member. A computer model approximating the analytical
member model developed , is presented. The Multiple-Step-Up
Linearization method, developed during this research to
approximate the member's inelastic behavior, is described. The
member computer model developed is used to predict the behavior
and ultimate load capacity of eight truss configurations.

suggestions for the manufacture of test samples was developed .
Steps leading to the design parameters of the larger demonstration
model are described to her with the final outlook resulting from
the functional investigation of this object. The basic elements of
the refolding system are blanket-integrated springs, which perform
deflections normal to the blanket plane when the pre-tension is
applied. The stiffness of these springs must be lower than that of
the blanket since a relatively great spring-way is required to support
large deflections in the fold line area for defined refolding.

Analytical modeling and identification of static and dynamic

fundamental bending modes in the X and Y directions, three higher
order transverse bending modes, and two modes in torsion, were
identified in tests in the frequency range 1.8 to 46 Hz. The
associated damping factors range between 1.2 and 8.5 percent.
The factors associated with the fundamental bending and torsion
modes were found to be the same in vacuum and in air. No
single configuration and technique was able to identify all of the
12
modes; techniques involving base excitation with an electrodynamic
exciter, base excitation with a hydraulic exciter, impact and step
relaxation techniques were needed. The MODAL-PLUS software
was used for parameter identification . It was observed to support
impact and step relaxation testing fully, but to have limitations for
the base excitation methods. The experimentally-identified modal
frequencies were compared with results produced by a finite

A concept for a one-dimensional deployable truss structure is
presented. The deployed configuration of the structure consists of
the repetition of an octahedral truss module longitudinally, and
thus it is exactly the so -called geodesic beam structure . The
principal mechanical feature of the truss is that the lateral members
comprising the lateral triangular truss are telescoping beams,
Contracting of the lateral members results in the deployment of
the truss structure. The geometric transformation of this truss of
variable geometry is presented . It is shown that both simultaneous
and sequential modes of transformation are possible. The validity
of the transformation applied to the deployment is verified through
design of a conceptual model. The applications of the concept to
a curvilinear truss and a space manipulator arm are previewed .

The exact stiffness matrix method computer program BUNVIS
finds the natural frequencies and modes of vibration of rigidly
jointed three dimensional frames which contain stayed columns
very efficiently, by using substructuring and simple substitute
columns to compute the stayed column stiffnesses. BUNVIS is
described and applied to a tetrahedral truss which was designed
for use in space and which has stayed columns as its members
and 21.966 degrees of freedom at its nodes. Locating the first
4978 natural frequencies needed 2 h of VAX -11 / 780 CPU time
and 5860 array locations. These natural frequencies appeared in
groups for which the associated modes are discussed. Author

MASS OPTIMISATION OF TELECOMMUNICATIONS
SATELLITES

The mass optimization of geostationary communications
satellites is considered by analyzing a number of cases varying in
the number and type of payloads, the platform scale factor, the
lifetime, and the platform and payload reliabilities. The results
suggest that the optimal mass rarely exceeds 4000 kg BOL. In
most cases, the improvement in cost effectiveness that would
result by exceeding 2500 kg is marginal and is probably not worth
the complication of adding another payload to the platform . B.J.

Unprecedented challenges arise in connection with the design
and certification of space systems which are too large to be
transported into orbit fully assembled. Special situations arising in
the case of such systems make it necessary to rely much more
on analysis than in past programs. The present investigation is
concerned with the status of some research activities oriented
primarily to the improvement of analysis capabilities through
coordinated ground and flight testing. Aspects of system
identification are explored, taking into account an eigensystem
realization algorithm , and the Hoop -Column Antenna concept .
Attention is also given to a suitable method for analyzing the
Hoop -Column antenna structure, a deployment analysis,
certification issues for large space structures, a gene space
station model, and the use of actuators. G.R.

The development of two -phase monogroove -heat-pipe thermal
radiators for potential use in the NASA Space Station is described
on the basis of an interview with the head of the Grumman
Advanced Thermal Systems Group and illustrated with
photographs, diagrams, and drawings. The current design calls
for 50 -ft-long 2-kW modular elements (making up arrays to meet
the eventual 300-KW Station heat- dissipation requirement) filled
with NH3 for operation at 40-120 F, assembly in space using the
Shuttle manipulator arm, automated performance monitoring and
damage detection, and wall thickness sufficient to limit the threat
to the system from micrometeoroids or space debris. An advanced
fin containing numerous small heat pipes and a rotating gimbal
attachment to keep the radiator panels parallel to incoming sunlight
are also being developed as NASA funding and commitment to
T.K.
the heat-pipe design approach are increased.

operating life with minimum maintenance requirements pose a
challenging thermal management design problem . System
optimization, with respect to radiator area and weight, indicate the

Heating distributions were measured on a 1.9-percent- scale
model of a generic aeroassisted vehicle proposed for missions to
a number of planets and for use as a moderate lift-drag ratio
Earth orbital transfer vehicle . This vehicle is spherically blunted,
12.84 deg / 7 deg biconic with the fore-cone bent upward 7 deg to
provide self- trim capability. A straight biconic with the same nose
radius and the same half-angles was also tested . The free - stream
Reynolds numbers based on model length were equal to about 2
x 10(5) or 9 x 10 (5). The angle of attack, referenced to the
aft-cone, was varied from 0 deg to 20 deg. Heating distributions
predicted with a parabolized Navier-Stokes ( PNS) code are
compared with the measurements for the present Reynolds
numbers and range of angles of attack. Leeward heating was
greatly affected by Reynolds number, with the heating increasing
with decreasing Reynolds number for attached flow (low incidence ).
The opposite was true for separated flow , which occurred when
the fore -cone angle of attack exceeded 0.8 times the fore -cone
half-angle . Windward heating distributions were predicted to within
10 percent with the PNS code . Leeward heating distributions were
predicted qualitatively for both Reynolds numbers, but quantitative
agreement was poorer than on the windward side. M.G.

A heat rejection system for space is described which uses a
recirculating free streamof liquid droplets in place of a solid surface
to radiate waste heat. By using sufficiently small droplets ( 100
micron diameter) of low vapor pressure liquids the radiating droplet
sheet can be made many times lighter than the lightest solid
surface radiators (heat pipes ). The liquid droplet radiator (LDR) is
less vulnerable to damage by micrometeoroids than solid surface
radiators, and may be transported into space far more efficiently .
Analyses are presented of LDR applications in thermal and
photovoltaic energy conversion which indicate that fluid handling
components (droplet generator, droplet collector, heat exchanger,
and pump) may comprise most of the radiator system mass. Even
the unoptimized models employed yield LDR system masses less
than heat pipe radiator system masses, and significant improvement
is expected using design approaches that incorporate fluid handling
components more efficiently. Technical problems (e.g., spacecraft
contamination and electrostatic deflection of droplets ) unique to
this method of heat rejectioon are discussed and solutions are
suggested. M.G.

A reduction method which combines classical Rayleigh-Ritz
modal superposition techniques with contemporary finite - element
methods is applied to transient nonlinear thermal analysis of
aerospace structures. The essence of the method is the use of a
few thermal modes from eigenvalue analyses as basis vectors to
represent the temperature response in the structure. The method
is used to obtain approximate temperature histories for a portion
of the Shuttle orbiter wing subject to reentry heating and for a
large space antenna reflector subject to heating associated with
a low Earth orbit. The reduction method has excellent potential
15
04 STRUCTURAL AND THERMAL ANALYSIS
for significant size reduction for radiation -dominated problems such
as the antenna reflector. However, for conduction-dominated
problems such as the Shuttle wing, especially those with complex
spatial and temporal variations in the applied heating, additional
work appears necessary to find alternate sources of basis vectors
which will permit significant problem size reductions. Author

A passive orbital disconnect strut (PODS - 3) was analyzed
structurally and thermally. Development tests on a graphite / epoxy
orbit tube and s glass epoxy launch tube provided the needed
data to finalize the design. A detailed assembly procedure was
prepared. One strut was fabricated. Shorting loads in both the
axial and lateral direction (vs. load angle and location ) were
measured. The strut was taken to design limit loads at both ambient
and 78 K (cold end only). One million fatigue cycles were performed
at predicted STS loads (half in tension , half in compression ) with
the cold end at 78 K. The fatigue test was repeated at design
limit loads. Six struts were then fabricated and tested as a system .
Axial loads, side loads, and simulated asymmetric loads due to
temperature gradients around the vacuum shell were applied .
Shorting loads were measured for all tests. Author

Protective shielding thickness and design configurations for
providing given levels of no penetration probability were also
calculated. Meteoroid / debris protection consists of a radiator / shield
thickness, which is actually an outer skin, separated from the
pressure wall , thickness by a distance. An ideal shield thickness,
will , upon impact with a particle, cause both the particle and shield
to vaporize, allowing a minimum amount of debris to impact the
pressure wall itself. A shield which is too thick will crater on the
outside, and release small particles of shield from the inside causing
damage to the pressure wall . Inversely, if the shield is too thin, it
will afford no protection , and the backup must provide all necessary

protection. It was concluded that a double wall concept is most
effective. R.J.F.

The contamination of the input to the observer by observation
spillover is a cause of stability problems in complex systems (e.g. ,
large-scale space structures ). This paper proposes a method for
estimating and alleviating such contamination. It is suggested that
this can be done by augmenting the observer with a further dynamic
system which can be described as a disturbance observer.

condition and a sufficient convergence is discussed; the selection

here may be suitable even for complex and large spacecraft. In
addition, it is noted that the applicability of the modal correction
method is limited to cases where the mode shapes of the modified
structure can be sufficiently described by the modes of the

coupling approach appears to depend on how realistically the

Candidate models for internal damping in large space structures
( LSS) composed of periodic lattices are explored analytically.
Differential models incorporate stress , strain , and their time
derivatives as factors, while hysteretic models describe matrices
with time- independent damping characteristics. The Timoshenko
beam model and a continuum model are also possibilities for LSS
analytical tools. The finite element method models damping in
trusses and frames and in terms of equations of motion for all
types of modes. The lack of experimental data on LSS is stressed,
noting the concommitant difficulty in verifying any of the models.
Sample calculations are provided for the steady- state damping
responses of a truss and a cantilevered beam . M.S.K.

Radiator active shape control is evaluated for a laser package
transmitting high optical energy flux from geosynchronous orbit to
a specific ground or space target. The proposed multifeedback
control strategy is implemented via a decentralized low -authority
control system , while a high -authority system is used to damp the
modal behavior of the antenna feed structure supporting the laser
package. Particular emphasis is placed on a description of the
control system configuration and on the role of the control process
in reducing the effect of structural flexibility on the radiator pointing
accuracy. Simulation results show that the proposed active control
is capable of improving the antenna pointing accuracy to meet

The stability of a ring of connected satellites is examined for
various tether tension laws as functions of the distance between
the satellites. Maxwsell's theory of stable rotation in such a system
when the interactive force between the satellites decreases
sufficiently at a certain distance magnitude exists between the
satellites formed the basis of the study. A control law was examined
for adjusting the tension of the tethers. It was found that stability
is possible if the tension is less than the weight of the tethered
satellite divided by the weights of all the other satellites, and
tension will decrease with increasing intersatellite spacing. The
formulas are applied to describing the persistence of the Jovian
and Uranian ring systems. M.S.K.

Solar radiation pressure on the vibrating antenna structure,
temperature gradients induced by solar heating, and stabilizing
gravity -gradient torques were considered when the linear regulator
theory was used to obtain orientation and shape control of a
hoop / column antenna system being considered for the land mobile
satellite system. A finite element model of the antenna system
which includes all six rigid modes and seven flexible modes was
used . Results show that the environmental disturbances affect
only the rigid modes of the structure. The effect of solar radiation
pressure interacting with the vibrating system is smaller than the
solar radiation pressure acting on the thermally deformed structure.
To reduce control effect in order to maintain shape and orientation,
thermal deformations must be minimized in the preliminary design
of the system . A.R.H.

A relatively general formulation for studying librational dynamics
of a large class of spacecraft during deployment of arbitrarily
oriented beam and plate type flexible members has been
developed . The formulation is applicable to a variety of missions
ranging from deployment of antennas, booms and solar panels to
manufacturing of trusses for space platforms using the Space
Shuttle. Here, the procedure is applied to the Space Shuttle based
deployment of plate -like members. Results suggest substantial
influence of the flexural rigidity of the appendages, deployment
velocity, initial conditions, and appendage orientation on the system
response. Deployment maneuvers in conjunction with a typical
controlled time history of permissible librational rates suggest
flexible plate members to be stable. In general, the instability is
triggered through roll excitation leading to unbounded yaw due to
coupling. The results should prove useful in planning of the Orbiter
based experiments aimed at studying dynamics and control of
flexible, deployable structural components needed in construction
of space platforms. Author

An analytical study is performed of the design of a structural
element which would have dynamic characteristics similar to those
employed on large space structures ( LSS) . The design object is
based on a wire-suspended rectangular plate, and the goal is to
define control laws which respond to outputs of sensors and
actuators on the LSS. The analysis was required to define a
geometric distribution of suspending cables which would allow

generation of mode shapes expected in LSS. Suspension generates
pendulous, low -frequency oscillations. A Rayleigh -Ritz method is
applied to the structural vibrations and the model is extended to
rigid body oscillations. Calculations yield the lowest 20 eigenmodes
of the structural element. M.S.K.

The differences between continuum and periodic models of
modular structures are assessed with respect to elastic wave
propagation, with particular reference to the use of such models
to analyze repetitive lattice grids (used in the design of large
space structures ). Continuum models appear to be more attractive
from the point of view of numerical evaluation, and yield satisfactory
solutions for low frequencies. But as the frequency increases, they
conceal the filtering effect and greatly distort the steady- state
response. Hence, periodic models are concluded to be more
adequate for the simulation of the behavior of modular structures.
In addition, periodic models involve neither difficult numerical
calculations nor excessive computational storage, since recursive
algorithms are used . B.J.

The controllability and observability of the attitude dynamics
equation of a large communication satellite with flexible solar arrays
is discussed, and a simple condition of the controllability and
observability is presented. In order to define a mode suitable for
control purposes, the large-dimensional mode is decomposed into
a nominal component and a residual component. A design
procedure for a reduced order control system is investigated, and
the robustness and stability of this system to system perturbation
and residual modes are analyzed using singular values of the
matrices. It is shown that by appropriately choosing the feedback
gain matrix and the observer gain matrix, the control observation
spillover of residual modes can be suppressed in the reduced
order control system . Some numerical simulation results are
presented and a method applicable to the general large space

One of the first questions facing the designer of the control
system for a large space structure is how many components
actuators and sensors - to specify and where to place them on
the structure. This paper presents a methodology which is intended
to assist the designer in making these choices. A measure of
controllability is defined which is a quantitative indication of how
well the system can be controlled with a given set of actuators.
Similarly, a measure of observability is defined which is a
quantitative indication of how well the system can be observed
with a given set of sensors. Then the effect of component
unreliability is introduced by computing the average expected
degree of controllability (observability) over the operating lifetime
of the system accounting for the likelihood of various combinations
of component failures. The problem of component location is
05 STRUCTURAL DYNAMICS AND CONTROL
resolved by optimizing this performance measure over the
admissible set of locations . The variation of this optimized
performance measure with number of actuators (sensors ) is helpful
in deciding how many components to use. Author

optimal control of a certain class of conservative distributed
parameter systems without resorting to discretization. In particular,
they considered the control of self-adjoint conservative systems

objective to point out that the results of Meirovitch and Baruh are
applicable to a more general class of problems which includes
nonconservative forces . It is also noted that the necessary
conditions are available for the existence of decoupling control

Classical approaches to the control of flexible spacecraft make
use of linear control compensators which avoid excitation of the
flexure modes on the basis of either: ( 1 ) notch filter characteristics
or (2) simple bandwidth limitation. Certain difficulties arise in
connection with both approaches. Moreover, the classical
approaches are not directly applicable with gas jet actuators of
fixed control level. The problems related to an employment of the
classical approaches can be overcome with the aid of the
bang-bang control principle, which is considered in the present
investigation. In the discussed principle, the flexure modes are
actively controlled together with the mean spacecraft attitude and
rate . It is pointed out that the developed control law has potential
application for high-precision gas jet attitude control systems for
spacecraft with several modes of flexural vibration which may have
negligible damping. G.R.

The motion of a tethered system of two satellites in geocentric
orbit is examined. The main satellite is assumed to move in circular
orbit at a height of 200-250 km above the earth's surface, while
the subsatellite-probe, attached to the main satellite by a thin
tether, is assumed to orbit the earth at a height of 100-150 km.
In the dynamic analysis the subsatellite is considered as a material
point, while the tether is considered as an extensible and
ponderable flexible filament. Aerodynamic forces acting on the
probe and tether are considered, and it is noted that the stationary
motions of the system consist in its uniform revolution as a rigid
body about the earth . The stability of these stationary motions is
analyzed, and it is shown that constraints imposed on the tether
parameters by the stability requirement are more rigorous than
constraints on tether strength . B.J.

The state of such a system can be described by using sets of

approach to the mathematical modeling of space vehicles is
proposed which is an extension of the method developed by
Plimmer ( 1976) for a limited class of systems. The method proposed
here can be used for arbitrary stationary linear systems, and in
particular, for systems with damping provisions and inertial and

A new approach to the optimal control of continuous linear
elastic systems is presented. Unlike discretization schemes such
as the method of assumed modes, the control solutions are exact
and have the form of a convergent series of time-varying terms.
The method makes use of a convolution integral description of
the response of points within a flexible system to an arbitrary
force or torque input. Two example performance indices are
considered: the integral over time of the control squared , and the
integral over time of the time derivative of the control squared .
Interesting properties of trajectories which result from the
minimization of these quantities ae discussed and illustrated using
a simple elastic system configuration. Author

Theory and in -orbit experience are presented for an efficient
method of inclination control for geostationary satellites. Solar
perturbations with a period of six months can cause a
station -keeping fuel consumption overhead which varies between
2.3 and 4.0 percent. The proposed method controls a component
of these perturbations while completely avoiding the fuel penalty.
This is equivalent to a service life extension of three to four months

In the late 1970's, spacecraft concepts with unfavorable
dynamics were evolved. One problem of immediate concern was
related to the interaction between the attitude control system and
spacecraft structural modes. In the new generation spacecraft,
the separation of the controller bandwidth from the structural
vibration spectrum could no longer be maintained. Research was
conducted with the objective to overcome the arising problems.
An outline is presented of the new methodology developed, taking
into account the main approaches to actively control vibrations
and handle flexible dynamics in general. Attention is given to an
optimal control approach, the integrated High Authority Control
( HAC ) /Low Authority Control (LAC ) approach , a model control
problem early experimental demonstrations, and control

The need to provide large reflector structures suitable for use
in a variety of space missions prompted the investigation of a
representative three -dimensional space truss. The finite element
model used idealizes the truss members as uniaxial rod elements
with pinned end connections. In this paper comparisons of natural
frequencies and mode shapes for various geometrical
configurations and material properties are made. The accuracy of
the model idealization is verified by comparing results for a uniformly

Long extendible satellite appendage (boom ) subjected to solar
radiant heating is modeled as a thin-walled long cylinder of split
non- overlapping section . Tip mass is attached to one end which 2
is free to warp and other is fixed. The unidirectional solar radiation 0
is assumed to be normal to the boom's longitudinal axis. The
equation of thermally-induced torsional vibration of this system is
formulated by considering the coupling effect of mechanical and
thermal phenomena as one-degree -of- freedom system because it
yet demonstrates the basic behavior. The characteristic equation 6
is evaluated using the Routh -Hurwitz stability criterion and it is 1
found that the stability characteristics are dependent upon , along
with three system parameters, the direction of the radiant heating.
The boundary curves, which divide the parameter plane into regions
of stability and instability according to a direction of radiation, and
some typical responses based on the closed - form solution are

A method is presented for numerically determining multivariable
poles and zeros of nonspinning flexible space structures consisting
of one rigid part and elastic appendages. Among many definitions
of system zeros, transmission zeros are investigated relating the
force/torque input applied at an arbitrary point and the
translational /angular displacement output at another point.
Computation algorithms are obtained for the cases when the modal
data are given in terms of constrained modes and unconstrained
modes. Investigations on duality and equivalency of these two
approaches are made, and the relations of the numerical structures
of the algorithms to controllability and observability conditions are
also clarified. The proposed algorithms are demonstrated for a

The stability and response of the in-plane flexural motion of
gravity -stabilized, structurally damped, large flexible satellites in
circular and eccentric orbits are analyzed. Employing the method
of strained parameters, the stability analysis shows that the critical
damping is sensitive to the satellite inertia ratio. It is noted that
the orbital eccentricity excites motion in several high and low
frequencies and generally descreases the stability of the system .
An analytical expression for flexural response is obtained using
the multiple-scales techniques. Finally, stability charts and response
are presented for a range of the system parameters. Author

Experimental amplitude and phase measurements of radar
echoes from chaff both in the wake of the dispersing aircraft
(new chaff) and after the aircraft has left the area (mature chaff)
are described. UHF and X -band coherent radars are used to obtain
experimental data for both continuously -dispensed chaff and
discrete chaff units. The mean radial velocity nu - 0 and the velocity
standard deviation sigma-nu of the chaff cloud are estimated from
complex - envelope spectral density estimates. For mature chaff,
sigma-nu ranges from 0.3 to 1.2 per ms. For new chaff, both
sigma-nu and nu - o depend on the position in the wake. At 150 m
behind the aircraft, sigma-nu varies from 2.0 to 2.7 per ms and at
450 m, sigma- nu varies from 0.8 to 1.5 per ms. No apparent
correlation between the magnitude of sigma- nu and either radar
frequency or chaff type is found. An expression is derived which
shows the effect of conical scanning on the complex envelope
spectral density. Author

In this paper, a technique for balancing a system in a closed -loop
fashion is developed. This technique is referred to as 'LQG
balancing', for it assumes that the system to be balanced is closed
up with a standard LQG feedback loop. This paper focuses on
LQG balancing of symmetric passive systems; such systems are
used to model large vibrating structures with collocated rate sensors
and actuators. A balancing characterization of reciprocity, passivity
and losslessness is provided. A new method for reducing both
the plant and the LQG compensator is developed. It is shown,
using a hyperstability argument, that the loop made up with the
full plant and any reduced LQG compensator is stable and has
acceptable feedback properties. Author

The equations of the rotational motion of the Salyut-6 - Soyuz

moments admit a natural inclusion of a small parameter: the ratio
of longitudinal to transverse moments of inertia . The
Krylov -Bogoliubov method is used to construct the formal

oscillations and rotations of the orbital system about the longitudinal
axis, approximately directed along the local vertical. The motions
belonging to these integral surfaces can be considered as nominal
unperturbed motions ofthe system in the regime of gravity gradient
stabilization (GGS). It is shown that these surfaces can be unstable
due to the effect of the nonpotential component of the aerodynamic
moment. Under an appropriate selection of initial conditions of
motion, this instability is slight and does not disrupt the GGS, at

In some of the studies dealing with the stability of the rotational
motions of rigid bodies suspended on a string, the string is assumed
to have no mass and offer no resistance to torsion. In actual
design, however, in systems using a string suspension , the string
usually transmits rotational motion from an engine to a body. For
bodies of considerable size, the string has a sufficiently large
mass , which should be allowed for in the analysis of the body
motion, particularly in the case of high angular velocities. A possible
implementation of a ponderable nontwisting string is examined.

Closed-loop stability is mathematically described , taking account
of the special case when the feedback is decentralized. It is shown
that the use of decentralized force (or pressure) and displacement
feedback can stabilize any structure with incremental positive
stiffness if the feedback gains are chosen to satisfy certain simple
inequalities. Attention is also given to proper selection of the

The inertial constants of an aircraft rocket, or of any other
structure , are defined without materializing any rotating axis. The
necessary equipment is very similar to that used normally for ground
vibration tests. An elastic suspension is used to obtain the total
natural modes corresponding to the motions of the structure as a
solid. From the measurements of the generalized masses of these
modes it is possible to compute the inertial constants : (1 ) center
of inertia; (2) tensor of inertia; and (3) mass . When the structure
is not strictly rigid a purification process, based on the mean
square method makes it possible to rigidify it at the price of some
approximations and a few more measurements. Eventual additional
masses, that are not parts of the structure, can be taken into
account. M.A.C.

A method for the synthesis of modal damping factors and
other modal data for a spacecraft in orbit is demonstrated . It is
based on input information at the component/ substructure level .
24
Also, the use of the method and the level of accuracy obtained is
illustrated in a case study of the Hermes spacecraft. The synthesis
procedure is demonstrated for a spacecraft configuration consisting
of a central rigid body, solar array substructures, a momentum
wheel and a liquid mercury damping device. The synthesized
spacecraft modal data is obtained by eigenproblem analysis of a
system model that is constructed from submodels of the
components. The system modes are the natural (unconstrained)
modes with damping and gyroscopic stiffness accounted for.
Numerical experiments show that the procedure is not sensitive
to errors in or to omission of damping factors of the higher order
substructure modes. Damping factors for the nutational mode are
confirmed by an independent analysis. Author

Control requirements for large flexible space structures are
difficult to meet in the presence of model uncertainty. The control
system is particularly sensitive to spacecraft properties when the
sensor and actuator used for control are separated by structural
flexibility, i.e. , they are noncolocated . A laboratory structure was
built which incorporates several aspects of the problem posed by
large space structures: ( 1 ) the laboratory system has extremely
low damping ratios in the vibration modes; (2) the system is
equipped with noncolocated sensor and actuator; (3) some of the
system parameters can be changed abruptly while the system is
under closed loop control. The laboratory system provides a setting
in which suitable control algorithms can be developed and tested,
for providing control which is insensitive or robust to plant model
errors . Controllers were synthesized using gradient Search
programs. Experimental results are presented which indicate the
extent to which nominal performance must be traded off to achieve
robustness . These results are also compared to results that can
be obtained using classical control theory and modern optimal
control methods. Dissert. Abstr.

The generation of a planar model of the ground test experiment
structure is examined . This was done by adapting an in-house
modal analysis code (Gimbalflex ) to allow placement of sensors
and actuators at certain locations on the structure. The next step
in the development of this model was to adapt if for use with the
control pole placement algorithm . The uncontrollable rigid body
mode was removed from the model. This uncontrollable mode
was due to the pointing of the gimbal. Control system design for
the planar model was also initiated. A digital controller was planned
utilizing the Control Pole Placement technique. The existence of
rate of state feedback was assumed. Once this controller and
other control algorithms were developed, it became necessary to
conduct speed tests. A study was then made of additional
hardware / software necessary to meet the speed requirement.

The planar version of the structure is shown for which a model
was developed. The model is 12th order including 6 structural
modes. One mode results from the base translation, one from the
gimbal rotation, three from the flex characteristics of the Astromast
Boom and gyro package, and one from the tether and tripod. The
model includes one input, one disturbance and one output which
are a control torque at the gimbal, a translational force at the
base, and the rotation rate of the Astromast tip, respectively.

ELIMINATION OF UNCONTROLLABLE RIGID BODY MODE ,

Struct. Control 6 p Nov. 1984

The planar system model is examined which reveals two rigid
body modes. One is due to the pure translation of the whole
experiment assembly and is uncontrollable because the only control
input is a torque at the gimbal. The other rigid body mode is due
to the pointing of the gimbal and is the one for which control is
sort. The problem arises from the Vector V2 which relates the
control input to the modal coordinates. Since its fifth and sixth
elements are both nonzero, neither body mode can be thrown
away as is. The two rigid body modes must be transformed so
that one is unaffected by the control input and one is left
controllable. The uncontrollable mode can then be eliminated from
the model for design purposes . A process is described to
accomplish the elimination of the uncontrollable rigid body mode.

The methods used to determine the lower natural frequencies
and their corresponding mode shapes of the NASA-LSS Astromast
(Unmodified Test Structure ), and the mass integrals associated
with the mode shapes are illustrated. The test structure is modeled
as a cantilever beam with 91 lumped masses and without the tip
mass on the free end of the bram. This uncouples the torsion
and bending modes and allows for them to be determined
separately. The frequency range was limited to an upper bound
of 100 rad/sec ( 15.92 Hz.). In this range from 0.- 100. rad / sec,
three bending frequencies and one torsion frequency was found .

Ten ( 10) papers reviewed deal directly with control systems of
large space structures, such as observer designs or closed loop
pole placement methods. Of the ten papers there are three principle
concepts treated : observers, closed loop pole placement and a
disturbance isolation technique. Three of the ten papers were
selected for critical review as they embodied the three basic
concepts. The objectives of the review were: ( 1 ) Check and verify
the equations and derivations; (2) Relate these new techniques to
standards in the literature; (3) Identify strengths and weaknesses
of the methods; and (4) Determine suitable topics for further study
using these methods. Author

ELASTIC DISPERSION EFFECTS ON DYNAMICS
CONTROL OF LARGE MODULAR ANTENNAS

on Mech. Technol . for Antennas p 141-146 Sep. 1984
Avail: NTIS HC A09/MF A01
The dispersion equation and the steady state harmonic
response of a modular structure were analyzed to study elastic
effects such as distortion and filtering on large space antennas.
The relations between the wave numbers and the frequencies
were examined. Due to the strong nonlinearity of these relations,
phase velocity strongly depends on frequency, so that each
harmonic of a wave packet travels with a different speed : the
packet shape disperses during the propagation (distortion effect).
The relations can be linearized, yielding a nondispersive behavior,
but only for very small wave numbers. Being the eigenvalues related
to the wave numbers, the natural frequencies (all belonging to
the dispersion curves) tend to congregate (clustering effect). Gaps
in the frequency range (stopping bands) for which no frequency
corresponds to real wave number, do not allow propagation in
these bands (filtering effect). Author (ESA)

Dynamic interaction between spacecraft flexible structural
elements and control systems was investigated for a
telecommunication satellite configuration. Nonlinear time
simulations of N/S stationkeeping maneuvers were performed to
assess the impact of antenna inertia and flexible modes on the
main body attitude control system. Simulations were performed
using the Dynamic and Control Analysis Package (DCAP ) , for
26
antennas with diameters of 1.6 and 4.0 m. The DCAP results
indicate satisfactory performance for the main body and antenna 目
pointing control loop for a small antenna structure with low mass
and inertia . For large antennas, antenna pointing mechanism
stepping can make the antenna - satellite system unstable.

A hemispherical pointing mechanism, including its drive and 3
control electronics, was designed for spaceborne payloads of up 3
to 30 kg , and 1 arcmin pointing accuracy. It has 2 axes with a 45
deg (or higher) angle between them for hemispherical coverage.
Around the azimuth , a first member, which has a provision to turn 3
a second member around an axis which is 45 deg inclined can
be rotated. A rotation around the latter axis changes elevation
and azimuth . The same elevation angle can be generated with an 1
equally positive or negative rotational angle from the basic position ,
but with associated different azimuth angles. This ambiguity can
be easily resolved by allowing only, for instance, positive rotation
between 0 and 90 deg. Author (ESA)

It is assumed that large space structures may be modelled as
networks of slender structural members interconnecting massive
bodies. Several types of members are considered . Truss -work
AND
members may be modelled by equivalent continuum models or by
more exact methods based upon the transfer matrix of a single
cell. Members which are treated with continuum models may be
rets
uniform or have slow spatial variation . Bodies are modelled as
elastic, with a finite number of degrees of freedom . The dynamics
of such structures are described in two complementary ways. A
method is developed for deriving exact transcendental transfer
functions for arbitrary network topology. The network may include
any number of members and bodies. The method is tested on
examples and is found to be computationally stable. The dynamics
of such structures are also investigated in the time domain via
travelling wave mathematics. Wave propagation on structural
members is described in terms of wave -mode dispersion
characteristics and impulse responses. Dissert. Abstr.

Some results are presented of the vibration analysis for
simplified models of a multipurpose geostationary platform . For
the detailed analysis, the finite element method is widely used,
but in a preliminary analysis the method described here is also
useful since it is computationally tractable and easy to handle
although there are constraints on the configuration complexity. A
mission model is described for the proposed platform containing
six missions of communication and broadcasting. Launch
sequences and deployments of the platform , and mass and inertia
properties of the constitutent modules are briefly explained. The
analysis procedure is presented together with the simplifing
assumptions and the main results. The analysis are performed
not only for the final platform of cross type and T - letter configuration
but also for the interim stages of construction . The results are
shown in figures with numerical tables. Author

experiments are examined . The methods presented are relatively
immune to the presence of many low frequency modes with
repeated or closely spaced natural frequencies, damping, and very
high dimensionality. A time domain identification method using
transient response , a steady state response method, and mass
and stiffness parameters of a vibrating system from measured
eigenvalues and eigenvectors were studied. All the methods are
demonstrated via example problems. Numerical results are
presented to study the effects of several implementation issues.

A parametric study was performed to define slewing capability
of large satellites along with associated system changes or
subsystem weight and complexity impacts. The satellite
configuration and structural arrangement from the Earth
Observation Spacecraft (EOS) study was used as the baseline
spacecraft. Varying slew rates, settling times, damping, maneuver
frequencies, and attitude hold times provided the data required to
establish applicability to a wide range of potential missions. The
key elements of the study are : (1 ) determine the dynamic transient
response of the antenna system ; (2) calculate the system errors
produced by the dynamic response; (3) determine if the antenna
has exceeded operational requirements at completion of the slew,
and if so; (4) determine when the antenna has settled to the
operational requirements. The slew event is not considered
complete until the antenna is within operational limits. Author

Past application of the gravity gradient concept to satellite
attitude control produced attitude stabilities of from 1 to 10 degrees.
The satellite members were rigigly interconnected and any motion
in one part of the satellite would cause motion in all members.
This experience has restricted gravity gradient stabilization to
applications that need attitude stability no better than 1 degree. A
gravity gradient technique that combines the flexible tether with
an active control that will allow control stability much better than
1 degree is proposed. This could give gravity gradient stabilization
much broader application. In fact, for a large structure like a space
27

station, it may become the preferred method. Two possible ways
of demonstrating the techniques using the Tethered Satellite
System (TSS ) tether to control the attitude of the shuttle are
proposed. Then a possible space station tether configuration is
shown that could be used to control the initial station . It is then
shown how the technique can be extended to the control of space
stations of virtually any size. G.L.C.

There is much interest in the practical control of large space
structures such as space transportation systems and large
communication satellites. The control task is normally thought of
in terms of maintaining specified shape configurations, orientation
and alignment, vibration suppression and pointing accuracy, etc.
Because of their inherent flexibility, they are generally analyzed
as distributed parameter systems which creates difficulties in the
design and analysis of controllers for them . Modal control
techniques have been developed to bypass problems associated
with distributed parameter theory. Modal control is built upon the
notion that certain specified system modes can be controlled by
appropriate design of the associated closed -loop eigenvalues. This
reduces the number of sensors and actuators needed to effect
the control of the structure. An undesirable phenomenon, referred
to as observation and control spillover, can occur if the number
of sensors and actuators used is small. Spillover refers to the
phenomenon in which energy intended to go solely into the
controlled modes leaks into the uncontrolled modes. This report
discusses the control of flexible systems described by a generalized
one - dimensional wave equation which relates the structure
displacement to the force distribution acting on the structure .
Optimal control involving the minimization of a quadratic
performance index representing control and modal energy content
is considered. Typically this control formulation leads to a state
feedback algorithm . GRA

STABILITY ANALYSIS OF FLEXIBLE SPACERAFT WITH PID

J. DELAFONTAINE Nov. 1984 59 p refs
(CRC - 1372) Avail: Issuing Activity
A graphical method for the design and analysis of a flexible
spacecraft controller is presented. It can handle as many modes
as desired, in constrained or unconstrained form; modal separability
is not assumed and the method is exact when the spacecraft
axes are uncoupled. The definition of a system function,
independent of the controller parameters, simplifies the
determination of the system stability boundaries. It also allows the
investigation of the modal separability assumption , resulting in a
criterion for its validity. Stabilization through structural damping
and flexible modes filtering is illustrated using graphs of the system
function . Closed -form approximations are derived in order to
complement the exact, numerical method. Extensions to systems
with loop delay and nonlinear elements are also included along
with applications to the LSAT -1 Roll axis. Author

This paper describes the Mobile Satellite Communications
Program of the United States National Aeronautics and Space
Administration (NASA ). The program's objectives are to facilitate
the deployment of the first generation commercial mobile satellite
by the private sector, and to technologically enable future
generations by developing advanced and high risk ground and
space segment technologies. These technologies are aimed at
mitigating severe shortages of spectrum , orbital slot, and spacecraft
EIRP which are expected to plague the high capacity mobile
satellite systems of the future. After a brief introduction of the
concept of mobile satellite systems and their expected evolution ,
this paper outlines the critical ground and space segment
technologies. Next, the Mobile Satellite Experiment (MSAT- X ) is
described . MSAT - X is the framework through which NASA will
develop advanced ground segment technologies. An approach is
outlined for the development of conformal vehicle antennas ,
spectrum and power-efficient speech codecs, and modulation
techniques for use in the non -linear faded channels and efficient
multiple access schemes . Finally, the paper concludes with a
description of the current and planned NASA activities aimed at
developing complex large multibeam spacecraft antennas needed
for future generation mobile satellite systems. Author

This paper describes work performed in continuation of the
British Solar Sail Group project to produce a Phase A Design
Study for an earth - orbiting, solar sail spacecraft which might
realistically be produced by an amateur group. It is shown in this
paper that the possible disturbance torques acting on a such a
spacecraft are different from those experienced by more
conventional vehicles, and that they can greatly outweigh the
nominal control torques required for optimal steering. Thus, these
disturbances must be analyzed carefully as a preliminary to serious
control system design. This paper carries out such an analysis
giving bounds on each such disturbance. The number of different
types of solar pressure -based control actuators is then shown to
be greater than is generally believed, and a particularly attractive
set chosen for this spacecraft. Finally, it is shown that it is feasible
to provide a reliable radio link from a ground station to the
spacecraft at the distance of the moon within the constraints of
an amateur project. Author

A sampled data -controlled flexbile structure can be defined as
a distributed parameter system , in which the structure input is the
output of an ideal zero order hold and the structure output is
sampled. The present investigation is concerned with the finite
dimensional model M x (two dots) + K x = B u (1 ) y = C x (dot)
(2). The relations include the structural displacement vector x , the
force input vector u, and the velocity output vector y. The mass
matrix M and the structural stiffness matrix K are assumed
symmetric and positive definite . The input influence matrix B and
the output influence matrix C are assumed to be dimensionless.
Attention is given to several results which can serve as guidelines

Conclusions drawn by a high school panel regarding applications
of space capabilities are reported. Weather satellites should be
equipped with communications systems for automated severe
weather and natural disaster warning systems. An internationally
oriented system of satellites for air and marine navigational data
is required, as are DBS television satellites beaming signals to
dwellings with low -cost antennas, and military systems employing
all available and some specialized systems. Research is required
to identify practical alternatives to solar cells for powering
spacecraft, frequency use must be made a finer discipline through
digital systems, polarization studies to control atmospheric effects,
and defining the HF range at which ionization would become a
hazard . The cost of individual earth stations must be reduced ,
while satellites must be funded by innovative means, e.g., common
stock or through quasi-charitable donations. Galaxies of
intercommunicating satellites in GEO would permit larger scale
missions to be flown, and manned space colonies in LEO, GEO
and on the moon would support all R and D activities,
industrialization, and exploitation of interplanetary resources.

The paper presents a theoretical study of the effects of the
phase fluctuations of a microwave beam over its cross section as
it is transmitted on a space - to - ground path on the characteristics
of the rectenna system , particularly the efficiency and the width
of the radiation pattern . The phase fluctuations are shown to have
a significant effect on the rectenna system when the radius of
the spatial correlation of the field over the beam cross section is
less than 25 times the wavelength. The results are pertinent to
the study of microwave power transmission in solar satellite power
systems. L.M.

Using a detailed computer simulation model and reasonable
values of optical, geometrical and material parameters from current
published literature, parameter optimization studies were performed
on two cell geometries, namely, the circular geometry for a
Cassegrainian concentrator with 100 AMO, 80 C operation and
the rectangular geometry for a venetian blind concentrator with
20 AMO , 80 C operation. For each cell geometry, three cell
configurations were considered : p/ n AIGaAs /GaAs; n / p
AlGaAs /GaAs; and, n/p GaAs shallow homojunction . The studies
show the possibility of designing GaAs-based space solar cells
with beginning -of- life efficiencies exceeding 22 percent at 20 to
100 AMO, 80 C and probable efficiency degradation of less than
15 percent after a 70 percent reduction in diffusion length in each
cell region. Author

Prospective missions requiring large power supplies that might
be satisfied with space nuclear reactors (SNR) are discussed,
along with design concepts and problems and other potential
high -power space systems. Having a minimum economic output
of 10 kWe, SNR seem well-suited as the power sources for DBS
systems, space-based ATC systems manned planetary missions,
an expanding Space Station, materials processing, and outer
planets missions. SNR avoid the large area problems of solar cell
arrays, short lifetimes of thermionic converters, and vibration and
heat control in Stirling engines. Design problems exist for SNR in
the heat transfer and rejection systems, radioactive emissions and
degradation of reactor materials, and size. The latter is a function
of Shuttle payload constaints and raises the possibility of having
to load the fuel while in orbit. The earliest operational date of
SNRs is projected for the early 1990s, if progress is good in the
current SP - 100 program . M.S.K.

It is predicted that the earth's magnetic field can be significantly
perturbed locally by a microwave beam transmitted from the
conceptualized solar power satellite (SPS) at a frequency of 2.45
GHz with incident power density of 230 W/ per sq m at the center
of the beam . The simultaneous excitation of earth's magnetic field
fluctuations and ionospheric density irregularities is caused by the
thermal filamentation instability of microwaves with scale lengths
greater than a few hundred meters . Earth's magnetic field
perturbations with magnitudes (a few tens of gammas ) comparable
to those in magnetospheric substorms can be expected. Particle
precipitation and airglow enhancement are the possible ,
concomitant ionospheric effects associated with the
microwave -induced geomagnetic field fluctuations . The present

work adds earth's magnetic field perturbations as an additional
effect to those such as ionospheric density irregularities, plasma
heating, etc., that should be assessed as the possible
environmental impacts of the conceptualized solar power satellite

Large power systems proposed for future space missions imply
higher operating voltage requirements which , in turn, will interact
with the space plasma environment. The effects of these
interactions can only be inferred because of the limited data base
of ground simulations, small test samples, and two space flight
experiments. This report evaluates floating potentials for a 100
kW power system operating at 300, 500, 750, and 1000 volts in
relation to this data base. Of primary concern is the possibility of
discharging to space . The implications of such discharges were
studied at the 500 volt operational setting. It was found that
discharging can shut down the power system if the discharge
current exceeds the array short circuit current. Otherwise, a power
oscillation can result that ranges from 2 to 20 percent, depending
upon the solar array area involved in the discharge. Means of
reducing the effect are discussed. Author

The time dependence of the emitted currents during arcing on
solar cell arrays is being studied. The arcs are characterized using
three parameters: the voltage change of the array during the arc
(i.e. , the charge lost), the peak current during the arc , and the
time constant describing the arc current. This paper reports the
dependence of these characteristics on two array parameters, the
interconnect bias voltage and the array capacitance to ground. It
was found that the voltage change of the array during an arc is
nearly equal to the bias voltage. The array capacitance, on the
other hand , influences both the peak current and the decay time
constant of the arc . Both of these characteristics increase with
increasing capacitance. Author

Integrated Power and Attitude Control Systems (IPACS) studies
performed over a decade ago established the feasibility of
simultaneously storing electrical energy in wheels and utilizing the
resulting momentum for spacecraft attitude control. It was shown
that such a system possessed many advantages over other
06 ELECTRONICS
contemporary energy storage and attitude control systems in many
applications. More recent technology advances in composite rotors,
magnetic bearings, and power control electronics have triggered
new optimism regarding the feasibility and merits of such a system .
The paper presents the results of a recent study whose focus
was to define an advanced IPACS and to evaluate its merits for
the Space Station application. A system and component design
concept is developed to establish the system performance
capability. A system level trade study, including life -cycle costing,
is performed to define the merits of the system relative to two
other candidate systems. It is concluded that an advanced IPACS
concept is not only feasible , but offers substantial savings in mass ,
and life -cycle cost. Author

The influence from the ambient plasma on the arc
characteristics of a negatively biased solar cell array was
investigated. The arc characteristics examined were the peak
current during an arc , the decay time as the arc terminates, and
the charge lost during the arc. These arc characteristics were
examined in a nitrogen plasma with charge densities ranging from
15,000 to 45,000 cu cm. Background gas pressures ranged from
8x1,000,000 to 6x100,000 torr. Over these ranges of parameters
no significant effect on the arc characteristics were seen . Arc
characteristics were also examined for three gas species: helium,
nitrogen and argon . The helium arcs have higher peak currents
and shorter decay times than nitrogen and argon arcs . There are
slight differences in the arc characteristics between nitrogen and
argon . These differences may be caused by the differences in
mass of the respective species. Also, evidence is presented for
an electron emission mechanism appearing as a precursor to solar
array arcs. Occasionally the plasma generator could be turned
off, and currents could still be detected in the vacuum system .
When these currents are presented, arcs may occur. Author

Over the past decade, the awareness of electrostatic discharges
as a threat to geosynchronous satellite performance has increased
significantly. Operational anomalies occurring on various satellites
have been correlated with the energetic plasma induced
disturbances of the geomagnetic substorm environment. In the
plasma environment of a geomagnetic substorm , geosynchronous
satellite elements may differentially charge and, subsequently, arc
discharge. A suitable electrostatic charge control program is

availability for industrialization is a possible design goal, which
would place the industrial community in an interactive mode with
facilities in space. A worthy design goal would be to minimize the
computer-communication management function and thereby
optimize the system availability for industrial users .
Quasi-autonomous modes and subnetworks are key design issues ,

are assumed to be gravity gradient and aerodynamic with both
having bias and cyclic terms. The integrals of the cyclic torques
are the cyclic momenti which will be stored in the momentum
storage actuator. Various techniques to counteract the bias torques
and center the cyclic momentum were investigated including gravity
gradient desaturation by adjusting vehicle attitude, aerodynamic
desaturation using solar panels and radiators and the deployment
of flat plates at the end of long booms generating aerodynamic
torques. Author

The metallization of CFRP waveguides, the Deployable Truss
Structure (DTS) and verification in terrestrial environment of the
10 x 1 m SAR antenna of ERS- 1 (ESA satellite ) are discussed .
Waveguide metallization was achieved indirectly with metallization
of the mandrel prior to CFRP lay-up, and directly, by electroplating
of manufactured CFRP components. Both techniques proved
unsatisfactory, but a surface treatment applied to the metal layer
in the indirect technique improves adhesion strength by an order
of magnitude, and enables the waveguides to meet requirements.
The DTS satisfies launch, deployment, and inflight specifications
for a 5 panel/2 wing structure. Ground tests include analytical
simulation of deployment with and without gravity effects, and a
gravity compensation technique for tests. Author (ESA)

too small to accommodate the thermal distortions encountered in
orbit. A large increase in the friction torque resulted, which was
beyond the capacity of the springs to overcome until temperatures
moderated. Thermal distortion effects were accounted for in the
hinge design , the clearances were correctly ad ted at final
assembly and reverified by an inspection and test program , so

A receive antenna (Rx at 6 GHz) and transmit antenna ( Tx at
4 GHz) were developed for the Arabsat communication satellite .
The Rx antenna has a single hinge line and during launch the
reflector dish is restrained against the antiearth panel by two
hold - down points. Deployment is actuated by springs and regulated
by a centrifugal regulator. The Rx antenna mechanisms consist of
two motorized rods, hinged on the structure; a driving rod ensuring
the required lateral stiffness to the mechanisms in deployed
configuration ; a centrifugal regulator on the motorized rod; two
hold - down points ensured by two pyrotechnical separation nuts;
and a latch on each motorized rod to block the reflector in the
deployed configuration. The position of the Tx antenna in stowed
and deployed configuration requires double hinge lines. A coupling
rod conjugates the rotation of the double hinge line to allow
actuation on only one hinge line, and control deployment rate
with only one centrifugal regulator. Author (ESA)

A compensator was synthesized to minimize the mean square
surface error of a wrap rib antenna. Two separate cases were
considered; one in which the flexible ribs and mesh were given
weight, thereby penalizing the actual error of the reflecting area;
and the other in which the antenna is considered rigid , thus
penalizing only the rigid body rotation . The numerical results show
that the flexible modes of the antenna have to be included in the
performance criterion to obtain a better performance. G.L.C.

This report describes the results of the SC - 3 (High Energy
Particle Spectrometer) and SC-8 ( Energetic lon Composition
Experiment) instruments flown on the SCATHA ( Spacecraft
Charging at High Altitudes) satellite, launched in January 1979
into a near geosynchronous orbit. The instruments measure
electrons at energies of 0.05-5.0 MeV, protons of 1-100 MeV,
and mass composition of ions in the range E/q = 0.1-32. keV/e.
Both instruments continue to be fully operational at this time.
Principal results of the High Energy Particle Spectrometer have
addressed radial profiles and energy spectra of energetic particles,
the role of energetic particles in the charging and discharging of
spacecraft dielectrics, the behavior of trapped electrons at flux
levels near the Kennel-Petchek trapping limit, and the precipitation
of energetic electrons into the ionosphere. The Energetic lon
Composition Experiment has provided the first ion composition
data with routine pitch angle coverage in the vicinity of
geosynchronous orbit. The advances resulting from this instrument
can be grouped into four categories: ( 1 ) plasma injection and
transport, (2) detailed structure of near-geosynchronous plasma
distributions, ( 3) interactions between hot plasmas and spacecraft,
and (4) global understanding arising from the synthesis of individual
results. Additional keywords: abstracts, literature surveys , electric

EFFECTS OF RESIDUAL STRESSES IN POLYMER MATRIX

Several conventional methods of elastic analysis are reviewed
and the effects of residual stresses on polymer matrix composites
are determined analytically. It is found that residual stresses are
caused by the expansional mismatch between the fibers and the
matrix . The stresses manifest themselves in unusual thermal
expansion behavior, premature ply cracking, delamination, and the
warping of unsymmetric laminates. It is suggested that by optimizing
the cure cycle and annealing the homogeneous materials used in
the construction of the composite, some reductions in residual
stresses are possible. J.H.

Progress made on studies of fiber -resin systems response to
long-duration exposure to space conditions, writing codes for large
space structures (LSS)design and analysis, and comparing code
predictions with realistic laboratory data on structures at DFVLR
is summarized. Carbon - fiber resin elements have been selected
as prime LSS elements due to suitable strength , weights and
thermal properties. Therman cycling and electron bombardment
tests run on a variety of samples revealed reductions in the bond
strength between the fibers and the matrix, an effect most
pronounced with polyimide materials. Irradiation produced no
marked structural changes except a reddening in color at the
surface. It is thought that comprehensive predictive codes will be
needed to offset the impossibility of satisfactorily performing
laboratory tests on LSS models on earth . The programs have
identified fiber -wound joints as suitable replacements for carbon
fiber-metal interfaces, which were shown to deteriorate with thermal
cycling. M.S.K.

Structural analysis is an essential step in the development and
verification of spacecraft composite structures. The accuracy and
adequacy of the analysis has a direct impact on the success of
the design. The prediction of the behavior of composite structures
often requires special finite element formulation techniques that
focus on the composite material characteristics at the lamina level.
These techniques are significantly more complex than structural
analysis for conventional materials. This paper discusses the
analysis methods presently used at RCA Astro -Electronics for finite
element model generation, optimal design, vibration analysis,
thermal distortion analysis, and stress analysis of lightweight
composite structures for spacecraft applications. Computer-aided
engineering techniques which are a part of the integrated analysis
approach are also discussed. Author

and velocity distribution, molecular deposition on ambient and
cryogenic surfaces, molecular return flux for gaseous species,
particulate deposition on surfaces, and optical-surfacedegradation );
and measurement instrumentation is described . Contamination

The Toroid Joining Gun is a low cost, self -contained , portable
low powered ( 100-400 watts) thermoplastic welding system
developed at Langley Research Center for joining plastic and
composite parts using an induction heating technique. The device
developed for use in the fabrication of large space sructures (LSST
Program) can be used in any atmosphere or in a vacuum.
Components can be joined in situ, whether on earth or on a
space platform . The expanded application of this welding gun is
in the joining of thermoplastic composites, thermosetting
composites, metals, and combinations of these materials . Its
low -power requirements, light weight, rapid response, low cost,
portability, and effective joining make it a candidate for solving
many varied and unique bonding tasks. Author

The degradation of Si solar-cell layers of thickness 200-480
microns by 1 -MeV electron irradiation is investigated experimentally
with a focus on the role of raw- material characteristics and
processing parameters in the n / p - type cells typically used for
satellite solar panels. The use of open -circuit, short - circuit, and
maximum - power electrical measurements to estimate the bulk
minority -carrier lifetime tau (V ) is evaluated by comparison with direct
measurements, and the technique based on the time evolution of
short -circuit current is found to be significantly better than the
other methods in tests on samples with B or Ga doping, resistivity
1 or 10 ohm cm, and various levels of O and C impurities. The
defects responsible for the degradation of the cells are studied
by means of both bulk -property measurements and deep - layer

on tau ( V ) are explored. Graphs, diagrams, and tables are

Because many future spacecraft or space stations will require
mechanisms to operate for long periods of time in environments
which are adverse to most bearing lubricants, a series of tests
has been completed to evaluate 38 grease type lubricants in R - 4
size bearings in five different environments for a 1 year period.
Four repetitions of each test were made to provide statistical
samples. These tests were also used to select four lubricants for
5 year tests in selected environments with five repetitions of each
test for statistical samples. In this completed program , 172 test
sets have been completed. The three 5 year tests in: ( 1 ) continuous
operation and (2) start stop operation , with both in vacuum at
ambient temperatures, and (3) continuous vacuum operation at
93.3 C have been completed. In both the 1 year and 5 year
tests, the best results in all environments have been obtained
with a high viscosity index perfluoroalkylpolyether (PFPE) grease.

INFLUENCE OF THERMAL CYCLING ON THE BEHAVIOR OF

Avail: NTIS HC A09/MF A01
The effects of a simulated 10 yr service in geosynchronous
orbit on the thermomechanical properties of graphite / fiber
composite structures were tested . Materials were exposed to 3500
thermal cycles with a temperature range from minus 160 to +100
C. The influence of microcracking increases mainly during the
first 1000 thermal cycles. Strength reduction corresponds to the
amount of microcracking. It is slight for epoxy -based laminates
(3 % to 22 % ). Polyimide based material suffers strength reduction
of 40% . The percentage of stiffness degradation at the end of
the test is nearly equal to that of strength . A slight increase of
thermal expansion at the end of thermal cycling reflects increased
influence of the matrix due to fiber matrix debonding . Poor
resistance of polyimide resin against thermal cycling is caused by
the too small strain at failure combined with the high curing
temperature, resulting in a higher prestress at operating
temperatures. Author (ESA)

Organic contamination on critical spacecraft surfaces can cause
electronic problems, serious attenuation of various optical signals,
thermal control changes, and adhesion problems. Such
contaminants can be detected early by the controlled use of witness
mirrors, witness plates, wipe sampling, or direct solvent extraction.
Each method requires careful control of variables of technique

procedure. Subsequent chemical analysis of the contaminant
sample by infrared and mass spectrometry identifies the

Anomalies were noted in the adhesion of the cell contact

graphite/ polyimide, NR- 150B2 resin, for structural applications on
advanced space launch vehicles. The program was divided into
two phases : ( 1 ) Fabrication Process Development; and (2 )
Demonstration Components . The first phase of the program
involved the selection of a graphite fiber, quality assurance of the

graphite / polyimide prepreg. In the second phase of the program ,
39
07 ADVANCED MATERIALS
a limited number of components were fabricated before the
NR - 150B2 resin system was removed from the market by the
supplier, Du Pont. The advancement of the NR-150B2 polyimide
resin binder was found to vary significantly based on previous
time and temperature history during the prepregging operation .
Strength retention at 316C (600F) was found to be 50 % that of
room temperature strength . However, the composite would retain
its initial strength after 200 hours exposure at 316C (600F ). Basic
chemistry studies are required for determining NA- 150B2 resin
binder quality assurance parameters. Graphite fibers are available
that can withstand high temperature cure and postcure cycles.

A polyimide film that is approximately 90 % transparent at 500
nm, useful for thermal protective coatings and solar cells , and the
processes for preparing the same by thermal and chemical
conversion are disclosed . An essential feature for achieving
maximum optical transparency films requires utilizing recrystallized
and / or sublimated specific aromatic diamines and dianhydride
monomers and introducing phenoxy or thiophenyl separator
groupps and isomeric m,m'- or o ,p '-oriented diamines into the
polymer molecular structure. The incorporation of these groups in
the polymer structure serves to separate the chromaphoric centers
and reduce the formation of inter-chain and intra -chain charge
transfer complexes which normally cause absorptions in the
UV -visible range. The films may be obtained by hand, brushing,
casting or spraying a layer of the polyamic acid solutions onto a
surface and thermally converting the applied layer to the polyimide.
In addition, the polyamic acid solution can be chemically converted
to the polyimide, subsequentially dissolved in an organic solvent,
and applied as a polyimide film layer with the solvent therein
thermally removed. NASA

It concluded that orbital debris is a potential problem for future
space operations. However, before recommending any major efforts
to control the environment, more data are required. The most
significant required data are on the population of debris smaller
than 4 cm in diameter. New damage criteria are also required.
When these data are obtained, they can be combined with
hypervelocity data to evaluate the hazards to future spacecraft
After these hazards are understood, then techniques to control

1983 , is concerned with the permanent occupation of space by
man. In connection with plans for the implementation of such an
occupation , NASA has considered the concept of a 'flotilla' with a

and an orbital service station . The presence of man and machines,
in particular computer- linked machines, is to provide possibilities
for the continuous exploitation of space. Studies have identified

For some time man has made six degree of freedom inputs to
a pair of dextrous manipulators using both hands simultaneously
by the use of the master/ slave concept . The advent of the
microprocessor has the potential to make the master/ slave concept
redundant by replacing the master with a mathematical model. All
spacecraft to date, including the space shuttle, that were flown in
six degrees of freedom were controlled by using both hands, the
left hand controlling translation and the right rotation. Almost
inevitably the same principle was applied to the CANADARM. At
the instigation of NASA the development of a device whereby
both translation and rotation could be combined allowing full control
with one hand was developed. The development and testing of
the device, and the extension of its application into spaceflight
control are described . Also the concept of an adaptable workstation
for multi-maniipulator and spacecraft flight control is discussed.

The design and experimental testing of end point position
controllers for a very flexible one link lightweight manipulator are
summarized . The latest upgraded version of the experimental set
up, and the basic differences between conventional joint angle
feedback and end point position feedback are described. A general
procedure for application of modern control methods to the problem
is outlined . The relationship between weighting parameters and
the bandwidth and control stiffness of the resulting end point
position closed loop system is shown. It is found that joint rate
angle feedback in addition to the primary end point position sensor
is essential for adequate disturbance rejection capability of the
closed loop system. The use of a low order multivariable
compensator design computer code; called Sandy is documented.
A solution to the problem of control mode switching between
position sensor sets is outlined. The proof of concept for endpoint
position feedback for a one link flexible manipulator was
demonstrated. The bandwidth obtained with the experimental end
point position controller is about twice as fast as the beam's first
natural cantilevered frequency, and comes within a factor of four
of the absolute physical speed limit imposed by the wave
propagation time of the beam. E.A.K.

some of the mechanical design considerations that were necessary I
during the development program are presented. The operational
success of both the Orbiter and the SRMS during flights of Space

SRMS performed as expected and as desired . While some minor
improvements were made in the follow -on production systems,
one of which was delivered and two of which are currently under

assist an astronaut in the on-orbit manual assembly of erectable

tests involved assembly of a tetrahedral truss -beam by a test
subject in simulated zero gravity (neutral bouyancy in water). A
three-bay truss -beam was assembled from 30 aluminum struts
with quick - attachment structural joints . The results show that
average on -orbit assembly rates of 2.1 struts per minute can be

Technological developments targeted at permitting laser
annealing of space radiation -damaged solar cells on spin-stabilized
satellites are outlined. The concept is feasible because solar cell
defects can be removed by laser temperatures of 200-400 C,
while the transfer of heat to the cell panel structure results in
structural temperatures below 100-200 C. The structures are not
damaged at temperatures under 200 C. Tests with a 2 J / sq cm
laser beam with a 1 msec pulse shone on Si solar cells revealed
no damage to soldered panel connections. Future tests on cells
irradiated in orbit are recommended. If implemented, the technology
would consist of a deployable laser-directing boom to guide the
beam perpendicular to the satellite surface, tracing a spiral pattern
that eventually covers the entire surface. A semiconductor laser
would draw 10 V, which could be supplied directly from the panels
without power conversion . M.S.K.

phase. A 50 percent reduction in this phase would reduce LEO

The 8- and 12-cm mercury ion thruster systems were developed
primarily to provide N-S station keeping of satellites with masses
up to about 1800 to 3600 kg respectively. The on -orbit propulsion
requirements of recently proposed Large Space Systems (LSS)
are beyond the thrust capabilities of the baseline 8- and 12 -cm
thruster systems. This paper presents a characterization of the
performance capabilities of the 12-cm Xenon ion thruster to enable
an evaluation of its application to LSS auxiliary propulsion
requirements. With minor thruster modifications and simplifications
the thrust was increased to 64 mN , a factor of six over the baseline
12-cm mercury thruster performance. The thruster was operated
over a range of specific impulse of about 2000 to 4000 seconds
and at total efficiencies up to 68.0 percent. The operating levels
reached in this study were found to be close to the operating
limits of the thruster design in terms of perveance, grid breakdown

of delivering a 20,000 kg payload to geosynchronous orbit (GEO).
The second design is for a 50 kWe solar-powered expendable

compared to similar advanced LO2 / LH2 chemical OTVs. Although
both MPD thruster OTVs have lower launch masses and simpler
mission operational requirements, overall life cycle cost estimates
indicate that higher power levels or larger payloads are necessary
for MPD thruster OTVs to be competitive. Author

Optimal low-thrust, three-burn solutions have been obtained
for orbit transfers between a 28.5-degree inclined low earth orbit
and a series of 63.4-degree inclined circular orbits as well as a
series of 63.4-degree inclined elliptical orbits with twelve hour
periods. Solutions have also been obtained for orbit transfers
between 97-degree inclined orbits and a 57 -degree inclined low
earth orbit. Thrust to weight ratios as low as 0.02 were considered.
A hybrid nonlinear programming method was used to obtain the
solutions. Analysis of the optimal steering during various burns
reveals a natural division of the steering strategies into two
categories based on whether a burn results in a change
predominantly in semi-major axis or orbit plane. The similarity of
these optimal steering strategies to previously obtained simple

Arcing to negatively biased, exposed solar cell interconnects
on solar arrays placed in plasma environments has been well
established in laboratory tests and inferred from space data. Such
arcing may cause damaging interference with the operation of
electrical power systems in spacecraft planned to be driven with
high voltage solar arrays . A simple analytical model has been
developed to estimate the effects of negative bias arcs on solar
array power system performance. Solar cell characteristics, plasma
interactions and power system features are modeled approximately
by a linear, lumped element transient circuit and the time domain
equations are solved . Exact numerical results for solar array
common -mode and load voltage transients are calculated for typical
conditions. Acceptable load transients are found for a range of

A wake model was defined for the NASCAP /LEO finite element
model for the plasma interaction experiment (PIX-II) launched to
study the interaction between high -voltage large solar arrays with
the space plasma environment. The cell surface model considers
the individual cells, distances between interconnects, and the
fraction of surface covered by interconnects . Account is taken of
the electrostatic potential around the spacecraft, which travels at
7500 mps, over five times the speed of thermal ions. Ram ions
are produced ahead of the array and the wake ion density is
described with a geometric shadowing model. The model correctly
predicted the currents in high and low bias voltages when compared
to orbital data . The panel snapover, however, was projected to
occur at 100 V and instead occurred at 300 V, which indicates
that the snapover state is bistable. Finally, a low potential was

electric orbit transfer vehicle (EOTV) with specific impulses (Isp)
of 1000-10,000 sec capable of moving large payloads to GEO.
The technique involves design optimization for different electric
thruster technologies followed by a simulated fly-off among systems
with a 20 yr operational lifetime. Optimization is carried out using
the sequential unconstrained optimization technique, taking into
account the input power vs. Isp and exhaust velocity relationship
and input power vs. thrust. Sample predictions are made for the

FINITE MULTIPLE BURN ORBIT TRANSFER ERROR ANALYSIS
VIA COVARIANCE MATRIX
W. YANG Chinese Society of Astronautics, Journal, no. 4, 1984,
p. 30-43. In Chinese, with abstract in English. refs
The finite multiple burn method is used for the transfer from
Space Shuttle low earth orbit to the geostationary orbit with low
accelerations. In this case, the study of orbit transfer insertion
error becomes very complicated. Generally speaking, an analytical
method via covariance matrix is not suitable, and a semianalytical
metod or digital method must be employed. It is pointed out after
detailed discussion that it is feasible for perigee burns to adopt a
semianalytical method, and for apogee burn to adopt an analytical
method in order to save computation time. The paper describes
the propagation matrices of perigee burns, apogee burn , and coast
phase, and also provides a transfer matrix for orbit element error.
In addition , the flow chart and verification methods of the program
are discussed in detail. Finally, an example is given. Author

Oxygen /hydrogen propulsion system options for space station
orbit maintenance and attitude control were developed and
evaluated relative to monopropellant and storable bipropellant
propulsion systems. Space station propulsion requirements were
analyzed with reference to such considerations as station size,
altitude, power, crew size, and orbit transfer vehicle and orbital
maneuvering vehicle servicing requirements. The evolutionary
growth of oxygen / hydrogen bipropellant propulsion as an integral
part of several interrelated space station functions, e.g. , life support,
power, and thermal management was considered. Propellant
resupply evolves from resupply based on transport of liquid oxygen
and liquid hydrogen to water. The advantages of the operation of
the space station based on an oxygen /hydrogen economy are
presented and discussed . Author

The cost effectiveness of using an electric propulsion system
for an interorbital transport vehicle for cargo delivery from a low
near - earth orbit to a geostationary orbit is analyzed. For given
power plant parameters, characteristic velocity, and initial mass of
the vehicle, the parameters of the electric propulsion system are
optimized with respect to minimum cost per unit load . It is shown
that the use of an electric propulsion system can reduce the cost
of cargo delivery to a geostationary orbit by a factor of 1.5-3.2 in
comparison with a liquid-propellant engine. V.L.

NUCLEAR REACTORS FOR SPACE POWER

1985, p. 66-69. 1
The growth in power demands for spacecraft, especially outer 1
planet missions, is driving the development of space nuclear power
systems. Nuclear reactors could also be used to process lunar
materials to take advantage of order of magnitude lower fuel
requirements to move construction components off the moon
instead of the earth . Larger, more powerful broadcast satellites
which lower the GEO station space demand could use nuclear
power, as could navigational systems, orbital transfer vehicles and 1
a manned Mars mission . The SP - 100 design is currently undergoing 1
parametric evaluation before engineering studies begin . Safety
concerns are concentrated on preventing fissioning until the reactor
is on -orbit and keeping the active or discarded reactor out of the
atmosphere until the radioactivity has decayed to levels defined
by international standards. M.S.K.

Photovoltaic solar arrays which derive their energy from the
sun and provide the electrical power needed on long life space
vehicles are examined . Present spacecraft solar arrays provide in
the range of 1-5 kW; however, lightweight flexible arrays with
reduced cost and increased performance are being developed to

flexible solar array, a structure and mechanism for moving it out
of the shuttle cargo bay, and a complete data acquisition system
to record operational data during ascent and on -orbit operations.
Space Shuttle applications and three array concepts, developed
for space power sources in the 300 kW to 1 MW range , are
considered. Examples of cost and efficiency improvements being
worked on include: transparent arrays, multi-bandgap solar cells,
thin-film solar cells, and improved concentrator systems. Photos

The conversion efficiency of radiant energy to work is
considered. Interest in energy-conversion devices isolated in space
has prompted consideration of optimum location of these systems
to maximize the work extracted . It is found that optimizing the
extraction of work is better characterized by a global efficiency
defined in terms of the power extracted, the effective temperature
of the sun, and the area of the receiver. The global efficiency has
a peak which occurs at about 1.5 sun radii from the center of the

ON THE POTENTIAL PERFORMANCE OF NON-NUCLEAR

Previous publications which have presented various aspects of
non-nuclear interstellar flight, are reviewed. These papers have
demonstrated the utility of optimized hyperthin or perforated solar
sails deployed behind occulters during close perihelion passes

limited only by sail internal thermal constraints, multiple sail
missions, and electric propulsion during the pre -perihelion trajectory
leg. After accounting for the acceleration tolerance of the human
occupants, trip times substantially less than 1000 years are possible
for one -way missions to Alpha Centauri of payloads of 5 million
kg or larger. This paper extends this analysis and considers
utilization of the Light Sail Windmill as a 'storage battery' and
electric propulsion for the early post -perihelion trajectory leg of
the mission . The Light Sail Windmill's energy storage capability
will also be useful for on - board power during the long-interstellar
cruise phase of the mission. Appropriate combination of various
propulsive techniques reveals that trip times of less than 800
years may ultimately be feasible. Author

consisting of a baseline design using back surface reflector cells,
and two modules using gridded back contact, IR transparent cells,
were subjected to vacuum thermal balance testing to verify
analytical predictions of lower operating emperature and increased
efficiency. As a result of this test program, LMSC has verified

The future orbit transfer vehicle (OTV ) requirements which
dictate the need for a highly versatile, highly reliable, reusable
propulsion module are discussed. To attain maximum operational
economy, space -basing is essential. This requires a reusable,
maintenance free engine. The design features of this space based
engine are defined. A new engine cycle and its advantages allow
all the maintenance goals to be attained. Rubbing contact and
interpropellant seals and purges are eliminated when GO2 is used
to drive the LO2 pump. The TPA design has only one moving
part. The use of both GH2 and GO2 to drive the turbines lowers
the turbine temperatures in addition lower GH2 temperatures and
pressures improve chamber cooling and longer life . The use of
GO2 as a turbine drive fluid is addressed. Space based engines
require an integrated control and health monitoring system to
improve system reliability and eliminate all scheduled maintenance.
It is concluded that all OTV propulsion requirements can be fulfilled
with a single engine. The technological developments required to
demonstrate that engine are outlined . E.A.K.

Recent NASA and DOD mission models have indicated future
needs for orbital cryogenic storage and supply systems. Two
thermal control systems which show the greatest promise for
improving propellant storage life were evaluated. One system was
an open cycle thermodynamic vent type with a refrigeration system
for partial hydrogen reliquefaction located at the LH2 tank and a
vapor cooled shield for integrated and non -integrated tank designs
to reduce boiloff. The other was a closed system with direct
48
refrigeration at the LH2 tank. A reversed Brayton cycle unit was
baselined for the propellant processor. It is concluded that: ( 1 )
reliquefaction systems are not attractive for minimizing propellant
boiloff; (2) open cycle systems may not be economically attractive
for long term storage; (3) a number of refrigeration systems are
available to assist in the long term storage of cryogenic propellants;

Spacebasing of orbital transfer vehicles at a space station
requires a depot that safely and efficiently stores and transfers
the resupply propellants. In order to transfer propellants, a method
effectively acquire only liquid and vent only gas must exist. A
method that produces a low gravity to settle propellants would
bypass these weaknesses, while allowing ground -like operations.
This low gravity can be passively produced using gravity gradient
techniques. A satellite with a large length to diameter ratio , such
as a depot attached to a space station with a tether, stabilizes
along on Earth radial because of an outward acceleration
proportional to the distance from the satellite's center of gravity.
Analysis indicates that liquid can be setteled with relatively short
tether lengths. The feasibility, design requirements, and operational
limitations of a tethered refueling depot were investigated with
special emphasis on slosh control. R.S.F.

The development of a reusable and space -based orbital transfer
vehicle (OTV ) necessitates an integral approach toward structural
and propulsion subsystems design. A single engine installation
necessitates moving the engine further aft and/or relocation of

requirements. Penalties associated with gimbal point relocation
without increasing stage length or modifying typical advanced
engine concepts, as well as a method for minimizing such penalties,

Alternative integrated vehicle structure / engine concepts are also

The expander cycle or the coolant bleed cycle LOX/ LH2 engine
is considered suitable for use with the orbit transfer vehicle and
the upper stage of a conventional rocket because of their simplicity
of engine system . However, these engine cycles generally require
a thrust chamber with a high expansion area ratio in order to
obtain a high performance and necessarily require a High Altitude
Test Facility even in the initial phase of development. A new
engine cycle called the 'Partial Bleed Expander (PBE) cycle is
proposed. In the PBE cycle, only the turbopump of one propellant
(usually LH2) is driven in the expander cycle and a portion of fuel
is bled to drive the turbopump of the other propellant (usually
LOX ). The bled fuel may be utilized for dump cooling or film
cooling. From the calculation of the PBE cycle, it was clear that
the PBE cycle can perform at a level close to that of the expander
cycle with the bleeding rate resulting in minimum iSp loss . B.W.

The objectives are to define the most efficient and cost effective
methods for scavenging cryogenic and storable propellants and
then define the requirements for these scavenging systems. For
cryogenic propellants, scavenging is the transfer of propellants
from the Shuttle orbiter external tank (ET) and /or main propulsion
subsystems (MPS) propellant lines into storage tanks located in
the orbiter payload bay for delivery to the user station by a space
based transfer stage or the Space Transportation System (STS)

Fundamentally, the volumes of the oxidizer and fuel propellant
scavenged from the orbiter and external tank determine the size
and weight of the scavenging system . The optimization of system
dimensions and weights is stimulated by the requirement to
minimize the use of partial length of the orbiter payload bay. Thus,
the cost estimates begin with weights established for the optimum
design. Both the design, development, test, and evaluation and
theoretical first unit hardware production costs are estimated from
parametric cost weight scaling relations for four subsystems. For
cryogenic propellants, the widely differing characteristics of the
oxidizer and the fuel lead to two separate tank subsystems, in
addition to the electrical and instrumentation subsystems.
Hardwares costs also involve quantity, as an independent variable,
since the number of production scavenging systems is not firm .
For storable propellants, since the tankage volume of the oxidizer
and fuel are equal, the hardware production costs for developing
these systems are lower than for cryogenic propellants. Author

It is proposed to suspend an airfoil from the Space Shuttle by
a long tether into the upper atmosphere to provide a horizontal
force on the Shuttle, thereby changing its orbital plane most
efficiently. The airfoil would need high -temperature skin and tether,
and remotely controlled flaps to adjust its angle of attack. The
airfoil could also be used as a hypersonic facility to measure
aerodynamic characteristics at extreme altitudes and velocities.
This use would require a vertical lift force to counteract the drag
force and prevent the Shuttle orbit from decaying too rapidly during
the aerodynamic measurements. Author

Man's extraterrestrial development is dependent on abundant
power. For example, space based manufacturing facilities are
projected to have a power demand of 300 kWe by the end of
this century, and several megawatts in the early part of next
millenium. The development of the lunar resource base will result
in power needs ranging from an initial 100 kW(e) to many
megawatts. Human visits to Mars could be achieved using a
multimegawatt nuclear electric propulsion system or high thrust
nuclear rockets. Detailed exploration of the solar system will also
be greatly enhanced by the availability of large nuclear electric
propulsion systems. All of these activities will require substantial
increases in space power · hundreds of kilowatts to many
megawatts. The use of nuclear energy to support humanity's

A research and technology program for advanced high pressure,
oxygen -hydrogen rocket propulsion technology is presently being
pursued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration
(NASA) to establish the basic discipline technologies, develop the
analytical tools, and establish the data base necessary for an
orderly evolution of the staged combustion reusable rocket engine.
The need for the program is based on the premise that the USA
will depend on the Shuttle and its derivative versions as its principal
Earth -to -orbit transportation system for the next 20 to 30 yr. The
program is focused in three principal areas of enhancement: ( 1 )
life extension, (2) performance, and (3) operations and diagnosis.
Within the technological disciplines the efforts include:
rotordynamics, structural dynamics , fluid and gas dynamics,
materials fatigue/fracture/life, turbomachinery fluid mechanics,
ignition / combustion processes ,
manufacturing /producibility /nondestructive evaluation methods and
materials development /evaluation . An overview of the Advanced
High Pressure Oxygen -Hydrogen Rocket Propulsion Technology
Program Structure and Working Groups objectives are presented
with highlights of several significant achievements. Author

Although the constant viewing geometry of the geostationary
orbit simplifies quantitative monitoring of study areas, the high
satellite altitude, in conjunction with the need for high spatial
resolution , leads to large and complex sensors and spacecraft.
State -of- the - art linear array detectors and a telescope of 1 m
diameter and 10 m focal length can meet the requirements in
question, which include a scan rate of the ground of at least 25
km / sec, the ability to cover a 150 X 150-km scene every several
minutes, and an instantaneous field of view of 50 m in the visible
portion of the spectrum and 1000 m in the IR . O.C.

This paper presents a design of a plant growth chamber system
for a zero gravity environment. This growth chamber system is
50
designed to be installed in a pressurized room within a freely
falling generation-travel starship, an interplanetary spacecraft, or
an orbiting space colony. The growth chamber system will provide
fresh vegetables and oxygen replenishment for the occupants of
the vehicle or colony. In this system, the growing plants are potted
in sealed boxes that protect the roots from light and supply the
roots with a sustaining aerosol of water and nutrients. The leaves
and stems of the plants extend outside of the boxes where they
are exposed to fluorescent light. Both the physical configuration
and the biological attributes of the system are presented for the
guidance of the reader. Author

The present investigation is concerned with the possibility to
reduce the costs for placing satellites in orbit by making use of
an 'Air Launch' system. It is pointed out that the launching of
rockets to orbit from aircraft in flight has been done successfully.
It is suggested to modify the existing technology for the purpose
of launching communications satellites and other payloads to orbit.
Thus , the Air Launch Concept combines aircraft and missile
technologies to produce a method of transport to orbit. A heavy
lift cargo aircraft is employed to fly a rocket and the satellite
payload to a specific location at the service ceiling of the aircraft.
Attention is given to aspects of cost reduction , commercial and
technical benefits, the anticipated market, and technical details.

Among the various manned space missions expected during
the next 10 years are flights of up to 6 months duration in low
earth orbit as well as short excursions to geosynchronous orbit.
Research activities are described which cover the full spectrum of
physiological and psychological problems presented by such flights
as well as by ongoing Shuttle flights. This paper includes a summary
of the major technical thrusts needed for habitation in space. It
concludes that there is a high probability of developing
countermeasures that will alleviate the neurophysiological and
cardiovascular effects encountered during Shuttle flights and that
the resolution of musculoskeletal, psychological and radiobiological

The arrangements with NASA in the form of Memorandums of
Understanding and contracts with a private company to produce
a line of transfer orbit stages (TOS) apogee and maneuvering
stages (AMS) are described, along with the hardware features.
TOS/AMS will provide GEO and other high orbit boosts from LEO.
The company subcontracts the hardare development to aerospace
firms already building hardware for the Shuttle . Financing of the
expenses has been done through limited partnerships. TOS is
intended for payloads with masses between those handled by the
PAM and Centaur boost motors. Design features include reaction
thrusters, laser - gyroscope avionics, solid propellants, and a
gimballed nozzle. The AMS uses hypergolic fuels and is actually
a modified MX missile fourth stage. A joint TOS /AMS configuration
is suitable for boosting planetary missions from LEO. Details of
the airborne and grounds support systems of the two boosters

Cost-driving factors associated with the personnel /teleoperators
necessary for the construction of large space structures are
outlined . The structures would be in a 260 km LEO. Construction
workers would be humans in pressurized suits, humans in EVA
and teleoperators working from a Shuttle base, and free-flying
teleoperators. A line- item cost input was used, based on historical
data , to perform the calculations, which included all ground - support
costs . Attention was focused on a baseline mission to construct a
725 m diam microwave radiometer for earth remote sensing . The
strongest cost driver was the productivity of the human construction
crew , followed by launch costs and the learning curve .
Teleoperators were projected to be 1 / 3-4 / 5 as productive as
humans. Further research is, however, needed to more finely hone
the predictions of the capabilities of teleoperators. M.S.K.

Several student activities for motivating continued intellectual
efforts directed at space -related fields are described. The long
duration exposure facility, deployed from the Orbiter in 1984 and
due to be retrieved in 1985, contained bags containing a total of
9 million tomato seeds shielded from radiation to varying degrees.
The seeds will be distributed to students from grades 5 to university
level for experimentation . An amateur space telescope is being
constructed by 700 participants in 15 countries under the guidance
of university faculty and optics engineers. Test components will
be flown in Getaway Special cannisters and then used in the
flight hardware. Reception of images from the 175 lb. telescope
will be possible anywhere on the planet for $ 400-500 worth of
equipment. The Solar Mesosphere Explorer is monitored by
university students interfacing with NASA tracking network . NASA
has initiated a Young Astronauts program to encourage interest in
space and participation in science projects and math. Finally,
discussions are underway between NASA and an entrepreneur to
devise a module that will permit dozens of tourists to fly on a 3

APPLICATIONS OF SPACE TETHERS

The dynamics of orbiting tethered bodies are reviewed and
several practical aplications are examined . Two tethered masses
in orbit will seek a local vertical orientation and a stable equilibrium ,
with energy transferred to the 'upper' object. The tether tensions
are provided by accelerations as low a 0.0004 g., permitting long
tethers an relatively large masses at the ends. The Shuttle can
send payload into a transfer orbit by placing it at the upper end
of the tether, unreeling the tether, then releasing the tether and
thereby imparting the excess energy to the satellite while the Orbiter
falls to a lower perigee. A 10 ton payload could be unreeled on a
148 km tether, released to a 12 n. mi. apogee, and the Orbiter
would be in full deorbit. Similarly, the Orbiter can tether down to
deorbit form the Space Station, boosting the Station to a higher
orbit. The station can then unreel a large satellite, release it to a
higher orbit, thereby returning to the stations original orbit. Unreeling
a wire 10 km from the Space station and having the wire cut the
earth's magnetic field lines, then closing the contact between the
upward and lower ends of the wire, can, with modifications, either
provide power or thrust without propellants for the Station .

The solutions to Clohessy-Wiltshire equations of motion have
been approximated for short transfer times. For such transfers,
these solutions describe decoupled rectilinear trajectories that are
easy to implement. The bounds over which this rectilinear
approximation holds are explored . Separate normalized error
functions then are derived for both in-plane and out-of-plane motion.
From these error functions transfer time limits are derived . Further
it is shown that in-plane motion diverges from straight-line paths
much more rapidly than out-of-plane motion . Rectilinear guidance
strategies are of importance to terminal rendezvous and
extravehicular as well as satellite servicing operations. Author

In June 1980, Eurospace, the Association of the European
space industry, presented a paper based on a set of proposals
for a European long term space program. A study of this paper
shows that the effort devoted by Europe to space activities was
decreasing. The current situation ( 1983) is compared with the
situation three years earlier. It is found that the ESA budget is
52
slightly higher than in 1979. However, little attention has been
paid to proposals regarding large space platforms and recoverabile
launchers . Now the Future Prospects Group representing the
industrial interest in Eurospace has been set up, and the progress
of this group is discussed. Attention is given to the level of Europe'si
space activities in a worldwide context, the mean annual value of 3
governmental and commercial markets accessible to the European
space industry, developments in the communication market, the
Ariane market, the development of a new generation of launchers's

Mission requirements for a space station are analyzed. Advantages
and limitations of a space platform are identified. A space platform
is shown to be capable of performing almost all of the missions
intended for a space station , at a lower cost, although some
missions will be completed more slowly. Author

The problems and solutions pursued in development of a flight
model discharge system (FMDS) for eliminating the arcing that
occurs in satellites are described. The charges arise from particle
bombardment and the lack of sufficient conductive particles in
the space environment. Potentials up to 10 kV build up between
insulated conductors and eventually arc discharge and can upset
or destroy on -board electronic systems. After detecting the charge
build-up the FMDS generates a plasma to conduct the charge to
space or the spacecraft exterior. The device carries on on -board
template data base for comparisons with normal charging events
to permit functional charging events to continue. Difficulties are
still being encountered in producing plasma quickly enough to
prevent discharges. M.S.K.

The next generation launch -on -demand manned orbital vehicles
will ideally be able to perform plane change maneuvers for
rendezvous. Plane-changes of, e.g., 11 deg, will require 3000
fps on -orbit maneuver velocity. Any plane -change capabilities
beyond 800 fps rapidly increase the necessary vehicle weight.
Sensitivity studies of the payload weight/vehicle weight, the
presence or absence of air-breathing engines, high acceleration,
etc. , indicated that advances are required in the payload stowage
pallet , thermal protection system , fault detection electronics,
line-replaceable units, and accessibility to realize one -day
turnaround. The spacecraft would also need autonomous systems
checks and launch from minimum support sites reached by air
ferry. A horizontal take- off, two-stage subsonic launch vehicle so
far offers the lowest weight, maximum flexibility and minimum
support combination of all configurations under consideration .

Solar cells and arrays for providing power to spacecraft are
undergoing several developmental changes in various directions.
The main inpetus is for better efficiencies and longer life, larger
surface areas , lower weight and larger arrays. Back surface
reflectors and field technologies are being studied, along with
wraparound contacts , modified back surfaces, thinner cells (50-100
microns ), surface texturing and AR coatings. The cells are still
sliced from ingots and contacts and other appurtenances are added
by vapor deposition. Trials with concentrator arrays and GaAs
cells are planned to obtain higher efficiencies and better radiation
hardening. GaAs cells can be grown epitaxially but require greater
surface preparations than Si cells. Finally, the manufacturing
infrastructure for GaAs cells has yet to be established. M.S.K.

INTELSAT'S TWENTIETH ANNIVERSARY - TWO DECADES OF
INNOVATION IN GLOBAL COMMUNICATIONS
R. R. COLINO (International Telecommunications Satellite
Organization, Washington, DC ) ITU Telecommunication Journal
(ISSN 0497-137X ), vol. 52, Jan. 1985 , p. 22-31.
It is pointed out that the world's global satellite communications
revolution began with a study conducted by Clarke (1945 ), who
provided a detailed description of a network of three
geosynchronous communications satellites. However, Clarke had
considered a need for manned space stations , because of
maintenance requirements related to the use of radio tubes. This
difficulty regarding the implementation of Clarke's concept was
eliminated by the invention of the transistor. Following the launch
of Sputnik in 1957, and the launch of the world's first
communications satellite in 1958, the use of satellites for effective
international satellite communications was considered by the World
Administrative Radio Conference in 1959, and the International
Telecommunications Satellite Organization ( Intelsat) was
established in 1964. Attention is given to Intelsat's
accomplishments, patterns of innovation in connection with the
growth in Intelsat traffic and technological advances, and future
developments regarding Intelsat over the next 20 years . G.R.

(AIAA PAPER 85-0220 )
A description of design features and flight-operation principles
of ground -based and space -based orbit transfer vehicles (OTV ),
scheduled for operation by the early 1990's, is presented. The
ground -based cryogenic stage has a four-propellant tank
configuration mounted atop a single 15,000-1b thrust engine, a
6,500 -lb dry weight, and 51,000-1b liquid fuel capacity. The
space-based system is similar in its general features to the
ground -based system , but has a dry weight of 11,000 lbs and a
94,000 -lb capacity for COX /hydrogen fuel. Consecutive phases of
the passive -payload delivery to a geosynchronous orbit via aft
cargo carrier are detailed, including the boost phase, navigation ,
aeroentry, deployment, and recovery. It is noted that a considerable
efficiency increase can be achieved through the aeroentry . L.T.

The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) project was initiated near
the end of the Apollo program and immediately encountered fiscal
contraints . Planned as a long-term facility , the HST had to be
continually justified to the public, astronomers and Congress from
1973 onward. Budgetary restraints caused design reductions which
for a while threatened the practicality of the HST and changed it
from a pressurized, manned unit to an automatic mode ,
teleoperated , intermittently visited spacecraft. It is noted that
numerous exaggerations were made of both the power of the
HST for scientific research and the total support of the astronomical
community during promotion of the HST program , although the
HST is the most powerful visual wavelength telescope ever to be
built due to its unique operating environment. NASA's consistent
and steadily more detailed definitions of the design features and
missions of the HST proved to be a decisive factor in repeated
requests for information by funding committees who were
deliberating in the presence of severe fiscal difficulties. M.S.K.

To insure efficient utilization of the system , space station design
and operations will require special habitability considerations for
the occupants and crew because of the relatively long duration
missions. Of particular concern is the environment in which the
personnel will live and work, and how it affects both the
performance and comfort of the occupants. Current criteria do
not consider possible effects of reduced gravity, long duration ,
and confinement. Preliminary to developing space station
vibroacoustic habitability criteria, the adequacy of criteria for other
space vehicles has been reviewed . In this paper, responses to
the noise and vibration environments of both Skylab and Shuttle
are discussed . Some astronauts have reported sleep interference,
communication interference, distraction, and general annoyance
as noise related complaints. In addition, information from the
Russian Salyut missions, as well as similar based situtations (e.g.,
submarines ), is reviewed. Author

The production of high quality crystals in space is a promising
near-term application of microgravity processing. Gallium arsenide
is the selected material for initial commercial production because
 10 GENERAL

of its inherent superior electronic properties, wide range of market
applications, and broad base of on - going device development effort.
Plausible product prices can absorb the high cost of space
transportation for the initial flights provided by the Space
Transportation System . The next step for bulk crystal growth ,
beyond the STS , is planned to come later with the use of free
flyers or a space station, where real benefits are foreseen . The
use of these vehicles, together with refinement and increasing
automation of space-based crystal growth factories, will bring down
costs and will support growing demands for high quality GaAs
and other specialty electronic and electro -optical crystals grown

The Spacelab relatively short stay -time in orbit has led to
consideration of the European Retrievable Carrier ( EURECA)
concept as a reusable carrier. The EURECA concept is a free- flying
carrier of experiments which is launched and recovered by the
space shuttle . It is commensurate with the size of payloads that
can be economically developed in Europe and combines the
advantages of Spacelab ( high mass and power capability, recovery)
with those of a free flyer (extended operating time in a non -polluted
environment). The launch of the first EURECA mission is scheduled
for October 1987. The Eureca spacecraft will be deployed from
the Shuttle cargo bay in orbit, will operate in a free- flying mode
for about six months, and will then be retrieved, together with its
payloads, returned to Earth by the Space Shuttle and prepared
for the next mission . The first mission of EURECA is dedicated to
research in the fields of life sciences and material sciences. The
experimental hardware of the first mission consist of a variety of
processin chambers for crystal growth and equipment for biological
investigations viz plant growth and protein crystallization, and there
is the possibility to perform experiments in the field of exobiology.

The possibilities of satellite servicing as a business opportunity
are examined. The service rate which a user must be charged to
yield a reasonable return is derived and then compared against
the market's willingness to pay that rate. Steps taken to provide
the basis from which the service rate could be derived include:
( 1 ) constructing a hypothetical on orbit servicing business offering
both on orbit and associated ground services; (2) estimating the
total on orbit service business potential by analyzing mission models
to the year 2000 ; and (3) setting up ground rules to bound the
conduct of the business. Using this basic information service
demand (business volume) cost to set up the business, costs for
operation and maintenance tax rates and desired rate of return
are estimated to determine the user charge. Sensitivity of the
service rate to various parameters are also assessed. The time
span for the business venture runs from 1986 through 2000 with
service to 1991 provided via the orbiter and by a space station
beyond 1991. This point analysis shows about five years of negative
cash flow , with steady profits thereafter.

A step by step process is described through which an existing
enterprise or an entrepreneurial venture can initiate and carry out
a new space venture. Throughout this process the business and
technical aspects must be advanced in parallel with each other.
Each depends on the other for its continued success, and
companies may be unable to complete the venture if one or the
other is neglected. The existing NASA programs and the experience
of early trailblazers provide sufficient examples and opportunities
for other firms to undertake new ventures with confidence. With
the introduction of NASA's Commercial Space Policy, both the
opportunities and the ease with which ventures can be carried
out should increase significantly. M.A.C.

Tether related technology issues were investigated along with
potential applications. Several of the applications do not derive
necessarily from nor are they related to a technology issue. Tether
designs must concern itself with length requirements (whether the
tether is to be flexible or stiff) and what the environmental impact
is on the particular material that is proposed for the tether. As far
as tether manufacturing techniques, a lot of technology related
work is required to develop cost effective manfacturing capabilities
for the future tether. There are techniques that are used on the
ground now. However, after some of the proposed applications
are determined to be feasible, it may be that the best way to
manufacture the tether is to pretend the satellite is a spider and
allow it to spin its own web in space . The technology required to
developed tapered tethers was considered . Definition of the taper,
where the center of that taper should be, and the taper's relation
to the end masses are all of concern . R.S.F.

definition of mission and tether requirements. Present major codes
are very elaborate, expensive to run , and not very user friendly.
An additional technology concern was related to the manufacturing
of tethers . The development of complex tethers
( nonconducting -taper/double taper long 100 km,
conducting- embedded conduction , fiber optics, and
superconducting) and their applications to space stations requires
the development of manufacturing capabilities for both Earth -based
as well as space -based systems. B.G.

Knowledge about the boundary layer associated with high
enthalpy flow fields has mostly been derived from measurements
of physical properties. To further this understanding, the chemistry
of the gaseous layer must be studied as well. This requires that
instrumentation and measurement methods be developed that can
analyze the gases while having a minimal effect on the flow field
and composition. Because of its sensitivity and ability to identify
species, the mass spectrometer is the most promising instrument
for this application , although other spectroscopic methods are being
evaluated as well. There are, however, several non - trivial problems
that must be solved in order to apply the mass spectrometer,
including the obtaining of a representative sample from near the
model surface. These problems are being addressed in a research
program to develop qualitative and quantitative measurement
methods to examine the gas chemistry in several large hot-gas
blowdown facilities, and to study the aerodynamics of the boundary
layer associated with models in these facilities and in instrumented
hypersonic vehicles. These methods can also be applied to the
tethered satellite, which will provide a unique opportunity to obtain
aerothermodynamic data that is unaltered by effects from the test
facility. M.G.

GEOSYNCHRONOUS SATELLITE COLLISION AVOIDANCE

The increases in the number of satellite systems, the growing
dependency on these systems, and the potentially hazardous
conjunctions in space, dictates careful management of satellite
positions. The potential for satellite collision increases as more
objects are placed in orbit. At geosynchronous altitudes active
satellites maintain fixed longitudinal station -keeping control while
inactive satellites and debris generally drift around the globe or
oscillate about two geopotential stable points. Portions of the total
objects in geosynchronous orbit are tracked by ground stations
while a significant number of additional pieces of space debris
regularly pass through geosynchronous orbit altitudes. The
probability of an operational satellite colliding with another satellite
or a piece of space debris will increase in the number of space
objects , their sizes, and on -orbit lifetimes. E.A.K.

Implementation of the radar, lidar and passive optical remote
sensing concepts for measuring space debris from an Earth orbiting
platform was investigated. Each system was compared for their
requirements on the host platform , their performance relative to
the space debris measurement program and the estimated cost
of developing each concept into a flight instrument. It is found
58
that the radar and lidar systems offer the greatest versatility and
accuracy since they control the direction , intensity and duration of
the energy incident on the target object. The performance of the
passive optical system is determined by the capability of the
detector and by the baseline separation of the telescopes, which
requires the use of an on -orbit deployment mechanism . The passive
optical concept provides the largest total event rae, and includes
significant detections of particle sizes greater than 10 cm to allow
correlation with ground based observations of the larger particles.
The event rate for the radar system is relatively constant with
particle while the lidar system is slightly biased toward the smaller
sizes . These event rate differences result from a combination of
the debris flux size distribution and the variation of sensitive
detection area with particle size for the three concepts. E.A.K.

THE LONG TERM BEHAVIOUR OF EARTH ORBITS AND THE

GEO orbits with inclinations which remain less than 45 degrees
are very stable. Although the inclination of the orbital plane may
vary as much as 15 degrees over a period of about 50 years, the
orbit altitude will always remain within a few hundred kilometers
of geosynchronous altitude, GEO orbits with inclinations greater
than 45 degrees exhibit remarkable instabilities ir the eccentricity
due to gravitational resonance . Over a period of a century the
eccentricity can reach such a large value that reentry is a possibility.
The combined effects of the Sun , Moon , and oblate Earth play a
significant role in determining the lifetime of a GEO transfer orbit.
Depending on the initial orientation of the orbital plane with respect
to the Sun and Moon, lifetimes may vary from under 6 months to
over several hundred years. Transfer orbits with inclinations over
45 degrees show strong instabilities in the perigee altitude resulting
in generally short lifetimes of less than a few years. All transfer
orbits can be designed to decay within one year if the initial perigee
altitude is less than 231 km. However, there are restrictions on
orbit plane placement and time of year of launch . Author

NASA is considering establishing a policy for the limitation of
the physical crowding of the geostationary orbit. The proposed
policy is intended to address the following issues : (1 ) deal only
with geostationary altitudes; (2) illustrate the unique value and
usefulness of the geostationary orbit ring; (3) describe the orbital
dynamics as simply as possible; (4) describe the current spacecraft
and debris situation ; (5) briefly review current industry and agency
policies; (6) project future trends of physical crowding with the
present nonpolicy; (7) propose solutions that can be implemented
in the near future ; and (8) use previous work as much as
desirable. G.L.C.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA),
as a purchaser of a variety of manufactured products, including
complex space vehicles and systems, clearly has a stake in the
advantages of computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM). Two major
NASA objectives are to launch a Manned Space Station by 1992
with a budget of $ 8 billion , and to be a leader in the development
and application of productivity -enhancing technology. At the request
of NASA, a National Research Council committee visited five
companies that have been leaders in using CIM. Based on these
case studies, technical, organizational, and financial issues that
influence computer integration are described, guidelines for its
implementation in industry are offered, and the use of CIM to
manage the space station program is recommended. GRA

The proceedings of the first workshop on applications of tethers
in space are summarized. The workshop gathered personalities
from industry, academic institutions and government to discuss
the relatively new area of applied technology of very long tethers
in space to a broad spectrum of future space missions. A large
number of tethered concepts and configurations was presented
covering electrodynamic interaction tethers, tethered transportation
through angular momentum exchange, tethered constellations, low
gravity utilization, applicable technology, and tethered test facilities.
Specific recommendations were made to NASA in each area.

DEBRIS IMPACT ON EARTH -ORBITING SPACECRAFT

The accumulation of Earth - orbiting space debris leads to
important new design considerations. Some 5,000 orbiting objects,
many of them explosion fragments, are currently being tracked
and future collision of these objects with each other is predicted.
These collisions will occur at high velocities. Each collision will be
explosive, ejecting thousands, of new orbiting objects, in turn
increasing the frequency of future collisions. The debris population
may thus become self-regenerative, and the future flux of orbiting
debris will exceed that of meteoroids. As a result, a large space
structure in Earth - orbit for several years has a significant probability
of impact by debris objects. As a design problem, debris impact
is significantly different from meteoroid impact. Protection against
such large objects may require structural measures. The
consideration of debris impact in the design of large, Earth -orbiting
spacecraft is recommended. E.A.K.

REPORT interactive design and evaluation of advanced spacecraft ( IDEAS) SOURCI
NUMBER computer aided, interactive, design and analysis program . Four
STAS's were designed to be launched by the Shuttle, tested by
using the space technology experiments platform (STEP) and space
transportation system (STS) , and then free flown in short lifetime
orbits. Data were gathered on deployment, structural
characteristics, geometric accuracies, thermal performance, and
drag and lifetime as an orbiting spacecraft. Structural and thermal
properties were determined for the STAS, including mass
properties , thermal loading, structural natural frequencies, and
mode shapes. The necessary analysis, scaling, and ground testing
are discussed. E.A.K.

Unprecedented challenges arise in connection with the design
and certification of space systems which are too large to be
CONFERENCE
transported into orbit fully assembled . Special situations arising in DATE
the case of such systems make it necessary to rely much more
on analysis than in past programs. The present investigation is
concerned with the status of some research activities oriented
primarily to the improvement of analysis capabilities through
coordinated ground and flight testing. Aspects of system
identification are explored , taking into account an eigensystem
realization algorithm , and the Hoop- Column Antenna concept .
Attention is also given to a suitable method for analyzing the
Hoop -Column antenna structure , a deployment analysis,
certification issues for large space structures, a generic space
station model, and the use of actuators. G.R.

Remote sensing missions have been synthesized which could
contribute significantly to the understanding of global environmental
parameters. Instruments capable of sensing important land and
sea parameters are combined with a large antenna designed to
passively quantity surface emitted radiation at several wavelengths.
A conceptual design for this large deployable antenna has been
developed . All subsystems required to make the antenna an
autonomous spacecraft have been conceptually designed. The
entire package, including necessary orbit transfer propulsion, is
folded to package within the Space Transportation System (STS)
cargo bay. After separation the antenna, its integral feed mast,
radiometer receivers, power system , and other instruments are
automatically deployed and transferred to the operational orbit.
The design resulted in an antenna with a major antenna dimension
of 120 meters, weighting 7650 kilograms, and operating at an
altitude of 700 kilometers. Author

Technological advances since the original proposal for SPS
stations in 1968 indicate that mainly environmental and funding
concerns, rather than feasibility, are the remaining questions in
any decisions to initiate an SPS project. The actual construction
could commence once satellites are beaming power to one another
at microwave frequencies and orbital transfer vehicles are in
operation . It is suggested that the SPS be treated as a long term
goal of the spaceprogram , and that technologies which will be
needed to begin construction or fulfill intermediate tasks before
the construction be identified and developed as part of other space
activities. The Space Station is regarded as the first step in that
process, to be followed by extensive on -orbit repair and
manufacturing capabilities, an orbit transfer system and
establishment of a permanently manned lunar base. M.S.K.

The routine delivery of large payloads to low earth orbit has
become a reality with the Space Transportation System (STS).
However, once earth orbit has been achieved , orbit transfer
operations represent an inefficient use of the Space Shuttle. The
Orbital Maneuvering Vehicle (OMV) will add a new and needed
dimension to STS capabilities. Utilized in a reusable manner, the
OMV is needed to deliver and retrieve satellites to and from orbital
altitudes or inclinations beyond the practical limits of the Space
Shuttle and to support basic Space Station activities. The initial
OMV must also be designed to permit the addition of future mission
kits to support the servicing, module changeout, or refueling of
satellites in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) and Geostationary Earth Orbit
(GEO), and the retrieval and deorbit of space debris. This paper
addresses the mission needs along with the resulting performance
implications, design requirements and operational capabilities
imposed on the OMV planned for use in the late 1980s. Author

Several transportation system options that utilize the Space
Station as a base for delivery of payloads to geosynchronous
earth orbit are examined and compared to each other as well as
to the reference case, which uses the orbiter as the staging base.
The factors evaluated include impact on Kennedy Space Center
(KSC ) flow , STS traffic, load factor, and the cost effectiveness of
each transportation system option. With respect to KSC flow , it is
determined that utilizing the Space Station as a staging base could
lead to a reduction of 3000 man -hours off-line and an additional
475 man -hours on - line. Launch costs for STS are reduced by 10
percent. The actual number of STS flights varies depending on
the transportation system option , and the delivery of multiple
payloads results in the least cost. C.D.

The Solar Array Flight Experiment (SAFE ) developed under
the direction of the Marshall Space Flight Center, scheduled for
launch on STS 41 -D, will demonstrate a lightweight solar array
technology which offers a factor of 3 improvement in weight and
a factor of 10 improvement in specific volume over solar array
systems currently in use in the space program . The experiment,
which will include multiple deployment and retraction demonstration,
verification of electrical and thermal performance, and verification
of structural dynamic math models is 15 feet by 105 feet in size
and, if completely covered with solar cells, would produce
approximately 12.5 kW of electrical power. The unit has now been

The benefits derived from aerobraking technology development
for the Orbit Transfer Vehicle (OTV ) are analyzed. The relative
advantages of several other candidate OTV technologies are
evaluated, and a relative ranking on the basis of performance
considerations is presented. It is shown that aerobraking
technologies can provide significant cost reductions for delivery of
payloads to geosynchronous orbit, and that new and unique design
concepts for OTVs must be pursued in order to realize the promised
cost benefits . The goal for an aerobraked vehicle is an upper
limit of 20 percent of the vehicle devoted to aero systems. Practical
OTV configurations based on a concept of integrated structural
design that can achieve this goal are suggested. A concept for a
flight experiment to acquire the data needed to advance the
discussed aeroassist technologies is proposed. C.D.

The Military Space System Technology Plan (MSSTP ) is a
systematic approach to identifying future space -related technology
needs based on perceived mission requirements. The plan presents
a broad scope of information pertaining to projected military space
missions, systems, and technology requirements for the next 20 3
years . The AIAA was asked by Space Division to review this plan
and to provide an industry view of the MSSTP. The activity was
divided into 17 different functional areas representing a broad
spectrum of supporting technologies. This report covers only the
Guidance, Navigation and Control (GN&C) technology panel results.
The Technology review topics were primarily oriented toward GN&C
functions spanning many missions such as: flight computers ,
software development and verification ; survivability; long life ;
acquisition, pointing and tracking; large space structure control;
and GN&C sensors. This paper presents a summary of the GN&C
results achieved in the Workshop activity. Author

The further exploration, occupation, and exploitation of the solar
system is discussed , with an emphasis on the potential role of
Europe. An extended analogy to the discovery and development
of an unexplored area on earth is employed, and the vast (solar)
energy and mineral resources of the solar system are stressed . It
is pointed out that much less energy is required to conduct space
exploration from a space station or from the Yunar surface than
from the earth . A development scenario involving large space
stations in LEO, construction of orbital power plants, colonization
of the moon , and mining of asteroids is proposed ; and the need
for significant European efforts (in partnership with the U.S. , USSR ,
and Japan ) is indicated. T.K.

Designs, performance and mission profiles for an orbital transfer
vehicle (OTV ) under development are summarized . The
cryogenically -fuelled vehicle would be reusable and function
between LEO and GEO. Its launch would be either from the base
of the STS main tank or from the Space Station . The return to
LEO after payload deployment in GEO would include use of an
aerobrake to shed velocity and shield the OTV against heat
damage. The cost of the OTV is driven by the weight, which in
turn drives the propellant requirements. The tank skin thickness
reaches a minimum at the threshold of weldability, although
meteoroid protection will also be necessary . M.S.K.

that stores energy and momentum in a very long, small

cross-section iron ribbon loop moving at high velocity. The
downward forces necessary to deflect the ribbon from its otherwise

A concept for a Shuttle -borne SAR radar device for
measurements in the X -band is described. The radar is designed
to be able to operate as a German / Italian experiment in a joint
mission with NASA devices operating in the L and C bands .
Simultaneous observations in these bands permits the spectral
back -scattering behavior of a variety of objects in the microwave
range to be studied. All three devices have 12 m long, planar
antenna arrays mounted together on a slewable support structure,
permitting a wide range of variability with regard to frequencies,
polarization, and direction of incidence. The ight of operation is
nominally 250 km. The X-band SAR has a geometric resolution of
30 m or less and a strip chart between 30 and 50 km. C.D.

which could be carried out by Shuttle - carried dispersible /retrievable
free -flying platforms (FFPs). FFPs are seen as an intermediate
step and a supplement to space stations, and could serve for
defining configurational, technological and operational requirements
of larger space facilities. The SPAS-01 has already been borne
by the Orbiter on missions 7 and 41B and validated many design
systems. Material processing experiments could be performed on
a FFP with a mirror furnace, solution growth facility, a protein
growth facility , a multi-furnace assembly and an exobiological
radiation assembly. Astronomical functions could be performed by
another specialized platform , while a GEO-SPAS ould perform a
variety of remote sensing activities for e.g., mineral exploration,
ocean monitoring and cartography. M.S.K.

Potential applications for autonomous space platforms (SP) are
discussed . The platforms are assumed to have long in - service
lifetimes and therefore be flexible as to configuration modification
and payload changeout. Higher degrees of autonomy, particularly
from ground control, are made possible because of the rapid
increase of microprocessor power and artificial intelligence
advances. Functioning independently, the platforms are to rely
only on periodic refurbishment visits by, e.g. , the Orbiter. The
Manned Space Station (MSS) will be the most complex structure ,
involving multifacted man-machine interfaces. The SP can be
subsystems of the MSS (or other platforms), handling
communications enunciation, data acquisition , analysis and
telemetry, fault detection and isolation, systems monitoring and
01 SYSTEMS
control, etc. The SP adopted will depend in all cases on costs vs
benefits analyses to determine the worth of removing the function (s)
from direct, regular human intervention . M.S.K.

are evaluated with respect to earthquake susceptibility, stability in
rough weather, and past construction records. The chosen
configuration is semisubmersible and elliptical in shape with the
long axis pointing North -South . The main floor is made of
honeycomb deck plates to allow solar rays to penetrate. The
sequence of tasks required to construct the station is described,
including fabrication of the honeycomb blocks; transportation to

PAVING THE WAY FOR SPACE TUGS

5, Sept. 1985, p. 57-59.
The Space Shuttle itself can fly no higher than a few hundred
miles, while many spacecraft, such as, for example, the
communication satellites, must go to a higher orbit. Currently NASA
is relying on a variety of upper stages to place the spacecraft
into the desired orbit. This approach has, however, a number of
disadvantages. Contracts for initial studies on a space tug, or
reusable orbital transfer vehicle (OTV ), have , therefore , been
awarded . The OTV is to have the capability to carry large payloads
to geosynchronous orbit and beyond. An American aerospace
company is studying the use of liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen
as propellants for the OTV. Another company has proposed the
use of propellants which remain liquid at room temperature. A
possible solution to the liquid hydrogen problem involves the use
of a multilayer insulation for storing liquid hydrogen in space. The
use of the OTV in connection with a lunar base is also
considered. G.R.

Attention is given to the conceptual design of a 24-kW solar
space power system in which digital switching techniques furnish
a convenient low dissipation method for the management of excess
solar array output. The large solar array surfaces associated with
this multi-kW power system are noted to be capable of exacerbating
electrostatic discharge phenomena. The solar array is fixed to the
main body of the satellite, so that both must be oriented toward
the sun; this feature simplifies thermal control requirements through
the establishment of constant conditions. O.C.

Studies have been conducted to define the feasibility and
practical limitations of the Shuttle Orbiter Tethered 'wind-tunnel
concept . This concept, referred to as the Shuttle Tethered
Aerothermodynamic Research Facility (STARFAC), is proposed to
provide researchers access to altitudes above 90 km to accomplish
aerothermodynamic research in the rarefied upper atmosphere.
Determining the feasibility and limitations of the concept has
required the enhancement and/or development of mission
simulation analytical techniques and control laws; the
accomplishment of candidate mission simulations; the definition
of instrumentation requirements, both for science and engineering;
and the establishment of tether and satellite design requirements
to meet STARFAC objectives. The results of the study, to date,
indicate that such a concept is both feasible and practical.
Representative results are presented, as are recommendations
for continued studies which would result in program
implementation. Author

The second Plasma Interactions Experiment ( PIX-2) was
launched in January 1983 as a piggyback on the second stage of
the Delta launch vehicle that carried IRAS into orbit. Placed in a
870 km circular polar orbit, it returned 18 hrs of data on the
plasma current collection and arcing behavior of solar arrays biased

Phase 1 , called the Mobile Satellite Experiment (MSAT-X), is
directed toward the development of ground segment technology
needed for future MSS generations. Technology validation and
preoperational experiments with other government agencies will
be carried out during the two year period following launch. The
satellite channel capacity needed to carry out these experiments
will be obtained from industry under a barter type agreement in
exchange for NASA provided launch services. Phase 2 will develop
and flight test the multibeam spacecraft antenna technology needed
to obtain substantial frequency reuse for second generation
commercial systems. Industry will provide the antenna, and NASA
will fly it on the Shuttle and test it in orbit. Phase 3 is similar to
Phase 2 but will develop an even larger multibeam antenna and
test it on the space station . M.G.

studies focused on HF propagation phenomena and broadcast
coverage requirements. These studies served as the basis for

Preliminary results of an investigation directed toward the
configuration of a practical system design which can form the
baseline for assessing the applications and value of a satellite
based air traffic surveillance system for future use in the National
Airspace System (NAS) are described. This work initially studied
the characteristics and capabilities of a satellite configuration which
would operate compatibly with the signal structure and avionics of
the next generation air traffic control secondary surveillance radar
system, the Mode S system . A compatible satellite surveillance
system concept is described and an analysis is presented of the
link budgets for the various transmission paths. From this, the
satellite characteristics are established involving a large multiple
feed L band antenna of approximately 50 meter aperture dimension.
Trade offs involved in several of the alternative large aperture
antennas considered are presented as well as the influence of
various antenna configurations on the performance capabilities of
the surveillance system. The features and limitations of the use
of large aperture antenna systems for air traffic surveillance are
discussed. Tentative results of this continuing effort are summarized

The opportunity to use a large space antenna system for remote
sensing applications permits the creation of an advanced ocean
sensing radar that combines the abilities of previously developed
techniques. The 15 meter antenna will permit much higher angular
and spatial resolution at the surface that will lead to techniques
of observing ocean wave heights and the directional spectrum
that had not previously been feasible from space. At the same
time, sensors to measure ocean surface winds can be in operation
and the data from both can be combined to increase the accuracy
of each individual sensor. The existing capabilities and sensor

The Large Deployable Reflector (LDR ) , a NASA concept of a
very large, orbiting, far infrared submillimeter telescope is described.
To be launched in the 1990s, LDR has a projected life of 10
years and is to be serviced every 2 to 3 years. A System Concept
and Technology Definition Study of LDR for NASA Ames is currently
being conducted. Study results indicate that launch of a 20 m
LDR , operating in a 700 to 800 km orbit, requires two shuttle
loads. The components of LDR are assembled in a lower parking
orbit, and the system is checked out and then transferred to the
operational orbit. Furthermore, for servicing, LDR may have to be
retrieved to the same lower orbit (and later returned to operational
altitude) by an orbit transfer vehicle. These requirements bring up
the question of a suitable assembly, checkout, and servicing
platform . The deployment process is time consuming and may
require special equipment not necessarily available from the orbiter
itself. The SS is an attractive choice for that platform . B.W.

model of the orbit environment. Comparison of the total orbit arc
length required by each proposed planning method or by using
different technology developments indicates that the orbit arc of
most interest to Western Europe will not be saturated by the year
2000. The orbit arc occupied in the year 2000 by the satellites in

The primary purpose of this work is to provide a first order
feasibility analysis of a large space structure flight experiment.
The feasibility issues are addressed from the control technologist's
point of view. Control and system identification techniques and
algorithms are evaluated with a selected experiment antenna
structure through analysis and computer simulation . The required
and actuator hardware is assessed and its requirements examined
with respect to the current state -of-the -art. The results of this
study show that a shuttle attached flight experiment is feasible
with moderate advancement of current control technology. The

control and identification algorithms are well understood and can
be adapted to the flight computers with additional dedicated
processors. Although it is necessary to select a focused flight
configuration to produce quantitative results , it is believed that, in
general, performance requirements and capabilities, timelines,
hardware, and algorithms are sufficiently generic in nature and
can be applied to other configurations. Author

The present simple beam finite element, for the modeling of
nonlinear geometric behavior in flexible space structure lattice
beams having repetitive geometry, is formulated by means of
expressions for the strain and kinetic energies of an equivalent
beam continuum. Nonlinear effects are accounted for by the use
of the incremental stiffness matrix of the equivalent continuum . In
order to assess the accuracy and applicability of this nonlinear
formulation, solutions are obtained for a series of five linear and
nonlinear beam problems having various boundary conditions and
applied loads. These solutions are compared to alternative solutions
employing a detailed model in which each lattice member is
modeled by a single truss bar element. It is found that the present
formulation may be used as an efficient substitute for a detailed
truss model in static and dynamic analyses of beam -like lattice

Design concepts for communications satellites which will exceed
8 kW power demands in the 1990s are described. It is assumed
that more usable power would be available if cooling systems
were obviated by keeping the spacecraft behind a large raft of
solar cell panels. The instrument body would rotate once a day,
thus pointing the antennae at the earth and achieving a 2: 1 weight
advantage over current three - axis stabilized satellites. A dc power
capacity of 4-15 kW is considered feasible, with transfer orbit
being effected by power drawn from the outer layer of still-folded
cells. The panel sun shields could also be deployed on either
end of a three -axis satellite . Stability would be furnished by reaction
wheels and, although incompletely shaded, a large surface area
would remain in the panel shadows and provide sufficient heat
dissipation. Finally, mounting two 100 m antennae on simple truss
structures would keep power demands on 200 W and permit
stability to be tracked by tuning to a laser beam from a ground
station. The new designs are predicted lower home antenna
requirements for DBS reception to 60 cm. M.S.K.

The 'one-way' satellite, which can only be employed once,
represents the classical concept of a satellite in the field of
extraterrestrial research. A transformation of current space research
projects, utilizing an earth orbit, into commercial operations requires
the employment of more cost-effective payload carriers. It is pointed
out that the era of multiply -usable platforms has begun . A West
German aerospace company meets this challenge with a concept
of free -flying platforms which is implemented with the aid of the
Robus (Retrievable Orbiting BUS) system. The disk-like Robus
configuration has been designed with the aim to minimize the
costs of a launching with the aid of the Space Shuttle . The
employment of threedifferent types of Robus units is considered.
Robus- 1 represents a retrievable multipurpose platform for
technological missions, while Robus-2 and Robus-3 are intended
for astronomical long-term missions. In the case of Robus-3, an
autonomous propulsion system is used to make the platform
independent from the Shuttle orbit. G.R.

The reusable Space Shuttle provides an economic potential
which together with the development of flexible and reusable 5
multipurpose platforms will make it possible to conduct cost- efficient 3

space missions. In response to the technical challenge presented
by such platforms, a German aerospace company has developed
3
the Robus (Retrievable Orbiting Bus) system, which has been
designed with dimensions that ensure a transport in the Space
Shuttle under optimized conditions. The three Robus configurations 1
include Robus-1 for the conduction of technology missions, and 3
Robus-2 and Robus-3 for long-term astronomical missions. Robus-3
has an autonomous propulsion system which makes the platform
independent from the Shuttle orbit. Attention is given to the growth
potential of Robus related to a Robus - 4 version, details regarding
the various telescopes intended for Robus, and aspects of platform 1

general analysis method for structural enforced deformations that
are required to preload a structure exactly to a set of prescribed

The optimization method minimizes the sum of the squares of the
displacement of the strain energy in the preloaded structure with
respect to a predefined shape. The independent optimization

An analytical procedure is presented to predict the deformations
and member loads of a coilable deployable continuous -longeron
space mast (Astromast) in the transfer zone from stowed to
deployed configuration . A nonlinear 3-D finite element model is
set up to represent each single truss member and the initial
prestressing of the straight deployed mast. By applying the
appropriate loading procedure the mast is forced into its
characteristic helical transfer shape where the truss elements are
highly loaded and which allows coiling up of the longerons for
stowage. The change from deployed mast state into the coiling
up configuration is computed with the large strain / displacement
nonlinear finite element program LARSTRAN . The analytical results
are verified by test measurements on a demonstration mast model
and show good agreement. Author

In the present development history for both a general multilevel
optimization capability and a three-level structural optimization ,
which is taken to be qualitatively equivalent to a multilevel
implementation , a structure is partitioned into a number of
substructuring levels where each substructure corresponds to a
subsystem . The method is illustrated by a portal framework that
decomposes into individual beams, each of which is a box that
can be further decomposed into stiffened plates. Substructuring
therefore spans three different levels. Since further extensions
would only add to the intermediate substructuring levels, the
three -level case is qualitatively complete. O.C.

boundaries of two and three dimensional bodies. Attention is
focused on the special problems of structural shape optimization
which are due to a finite element model which must change during
the optimization process. These problems include the requirement
for sophisticated automated mesh generation techniques and
careful choice of design variables. They also include special
problems in obtaining sufficiently accurate sensitivity derivatives.

A technique for coupling substructures in the construction of

demonstrated. Multiple -degree-of-freedom curve fitting is employed
to determine the modal frequencies and translational mode shapes
from the measured translational frequency-response functions
(FRFs), and the corresponding rotational modal displacements at
the interface are calculated directly with a cubic - spline curve-fitting
algorithm , eliminating the need to determine rotational FRFs. The
technique is applied to simulated data for a 12 -degree-of-freedom
fixed-fixed beam problem, and the results are presented in tables
and graphs and shown to be in good agreement with analytical
solutions obtained with the finite -element method . The present

Rods, bars, and beams represent the most basic supporting
elements of structural mechanics. They are also used in bridges,
in helicopter rotor blades, and in wind-energy installations. A very
important field of application will be related to the design of large
light-weight structures in space. The design procedures involving
an employment of the considered structural elements will frequently
have to take into account nonlinear relations. The present
investigation is concerned with the capability of the currently
available procedures to provide the required results, taking into
account relations between torsion and tension. A theoretical
evaluation is conducted of theories developed by Hodges ( 1980),
Rosen (1980, and Petersen ( 1982). A comparison of the three
methods on the basis of numerical results obtained for certain
test cases is also conducted. It is found that the performance of
the three considered methods is unsatisfactory. The required
procedure must be able to overcome current theoretical
inconsistencies and it must be supported by carefully performed

The design of a support structure for a space-power photovoltaic
concentrator is described. The baseline concentrator uses
miniaturized parabolic-trough mirror-radiators to illuminate solar
cells at concentration ratios in the range from 10-40 x geometrical.
Such a concentrator has unique pointing requirements in that high
accuracy (2 degrees) is required in the axis of concentration, while
the perpendicular axis allows greater pointing errors (10 degrees
or more) with minimal power loss. The array structure was designed
with the goal of meeting these pointing requirements under the
constraints of given mirror lengths, payload-bay packaging
envelopes, and operating disturbances. Structural design
parameters included structure weight, array aperture efficiency
(packing factor), and packaged volumetric efficiency. The proposed
structure uses a rectangular grid of graphite composite beams

This design has projected specific mass as low as 1 kg / sq m for

The mission objective of the TRW satellite requires four solar
arrays be deployed simultaneously following separation from the
inertial upper stage (IUS) booster. Due to the mechanical system's
tolerances, the mass properties control procedure, and in -orbit
temperature variation, as well as the potential for satellite tumbling,
the possibility of sequential latch-up of flexible solar arrays becomes
realistic . To determine the influence of sequential solar array
latching on the deployment loads is, therefore, of great practical
importance. Although the problem should be treated as a
nonstationary stochatic process, the difficulty in obtaining an exact
solution renders the process unsuitable . In response, this paper
presents a Monte Carlo method for approximating a solution to
such a problem. Author

A 3-net is a system formed by three intersecting arrays of
linear flexible members such that every intersection involves one
member of each array. The subject of this study is an axisymmetric
3-net where the first array is meridional and the other two are
inclined to a meridian at equal but opposite angles. If the net
intersections are not fixed the system is underconstrained and,
generally, does not possess a unique configuration. However, such
systems allow exceptional configurations in which they lack
kinematic mobility and admit prestress. Pertinent equations
governing the intricately interrelated statics and geometry of
axisymmetric 3-nets are developed and some closed-form solutions
are obtained . On this basis, two particular classes of immobile
(static) 3-nets are synthesized and two corresponding sets of
feasible geometric shapes are investigated. Author

A simply supported beam is used as an example to illustrate
the need for more theoretical research on the unification of the
modeling and control problems of flexible structures. This paper
shows that finite element methods that focus on the convergence
of modal data may not be the best approach to modeling structures
for control design. This is due primarily to the fact that ( 1 ) the
importance of a mode in the control problem is measured by its
modal costs, and modal cost errors may exceed (by large margins)
the errors in modal frequency; (2) the modal costs are not ordered
by frequency; and (3) convergence of the modal costs is not
monotonic with the number of uniform finite elements. Hence,
nonuniform finite element grids may be more efficient. Theorems
for convergence of the modal costs are also presented. Author

SIMULATION OF DEPLOYMENT DYNAMICS FOR INTELSAT VI
TRANSMIT AND RECEIVE BOOM / ANTENNA SYSTEMS
P. K. JAMES (COMSAT, Clarksburg, MD) COMSAT Technical
Review , vol. 15, Spring 1985, p. 127-148.
The deployment dynamics of the 4-GHz and 6-GHz transmit
and receive antennas of the Intelsat VI satellite are simulated
using NBOD2, a general purpose dynamics computer program .
The stationary platform of the aircraft and the antenna systems
were modeled as five bodies coupled by gimballed hinges, forming
a topological tree. The deployment mechanism in each case was
a negator spring integrated with a viscous-fluid - damped actuator.
The torques generated by the deployment mechanism is input at
the hinge axis . Results of the simulation provide data at intervals
of a few fractions of a second for deployment rate acceleration;
torque angular momentum; and kinetic energy. The results of the
simulation are correlated with preliminary empirical data gathered
from engineering models. It is shown that the simulation was
effective in predicting the dynamic behavior of both deployment
systems. 1.H.

The theoretical implications of a reduced order structural model
for integrated design of flexible structures are discussed . It is
shown that the difference between the gradients of two different
approximate and explicit reduced order problems is on the order
of the inverse square of the lowest residual natural frequency of
the inverse mode when lower eigenvectors are used in calculating
the structural parameters. The issue of including derivatives of
the trial vectors in calculations of the gradient of the cost functional
is considered . The reduced-order model was applied to the analysis
of the single axis rest-to-rest slewing maneuver of an idealized
boom four -boom flexible structure. Optimal parameters for the
structure were calculated numerically, and the results are given in
a table . 1.H.

For apertures above 50 meters, the high structural stiffness
and compact packaging of tetrahedral truss make this concept an
attractive candidate for the reflector support structure. Various
features of a deployable, foldable, doubly curved tetrahedral truss
structure are presented as well as methods used to design the
truss geometry and to synchronize deployment of the folding
elements. An arc division method for distributing truss nodal
locations over a doubly curved reflector surface is shown to
decrease differences in surface strut lengths and to increase the
geometric similarity of all node condigurations in each strut surface.
These features enhance the design of a single node and strut
synchronizer mechanism for each surface examined. The folding
error resulting from using this approach is minimal. A.R.H.

Structural concepts for ultralightweight spacecraft were studied.
Concepts for ultralightweight space structures were identified and
the validity of heir potential application in advanced spacecraft
was assessed. The following topics were investigated: ( 1)
membrane wrinkling under pretensioning; (2) load -carrying
capability of pressurized tubes; (3) equilibrium of a precompressed
rim ; (4) design of an inflated reflector spacecraft; (5) general
instability of a rim ; and (6) structural analysis of a pressurized
isotensoid column. The design approaches for a paraboloidal 1
reflector spacecraft included a spin -stiffened design, both inflated
and truss central columns, and to include both deep truss and
rim - stiftened geodesic designs. The spinning spacecraft analysis
is included, and the two truss designs are covered. The 1
performances of four different approaches to the structural design
of a paraboloidal reflector spacecraft are compared . The spinning
and inflated configurations result in very low total masses and
some concerns about their performance due to unresolved
questions about dynamic stability and lifetimes, respectively.

The results of a trade study on truss structures for constructing

04 STRUCTURAL AND THERMAL ANALYSIS
generally applicable to other configurations. The four truss
approaches for constructing the space station considered in this
paper were the 9 foot single fold deployable, the 15 foot erectable ,
the 10 foot double fold tetrahedral, and the 15 foot PACTRUSS .
The primary rational for considering a 9 foot single-fold deployable
truss (9 foot is the largest uncollapsed cross -section that will fit in
the Shuttle cargo bay) is that of ease of initial on -orbit construction
and preintegration of utility lines and subsystems. The primary
rational for considering the 15 foot erectable truss is that the
truss bay size will accommodate Shuttle size payloads and growth
of the initial station in any dimension is a simple extension of the
initial construction process. The primary rational for considering
the double-fold 10 foot tetrahedral truss is that a relatively large
amount of truss structure can be deployed from a single Shuttle
flight to provide a large number of nodal attachments which present
a pegboard for attaching a wide variety of payloads. The 15 foot
double-fold PACTRUSS was developed to incorporate the best
features of the erectable truss and the tetrahedral truss. B.W.

This paper focuses on the effect of thermomechanically induced
heating on the response of a single member of a space truss
structure which behaves viscoplastically. The governing equations
are given for a typical truss member, wherein material inelasticity
is reflected in constitutive equations via a set of internal state
variables, each characterized by a history dependent growth law.
The governing equations are coupled in the sense that temperature
and displacement are dependent on each other. This difficulty,
together with the fact that the inelastic constitutive equations are
nonlinear and numerically stiff, requires that a computationally
complex semidiscretized finite element spatial technique be utilized
to obtain a solution . This procedure, detailed herein , is utilized to
predict the response of a typical metallic space truss member
under vibrational or cyclic loading. Particular interest is placed on
the temperature rise in such a member due to hysteretic loss
during structural vibrations and in the presence of complex thermal
boundary conditions representative of space conditions. Example
cases are constructed for a typical cylindrical bar of 6061 - T6
aluminum both with and without special coatings. Results indicate
that significant, possibly even catastrophic, heating can occur due
to thermomechanical coupling. Author

Evolving future space platforms will require a more significant
role of thermal management as a result of the multi-year mission
durations, large quantities of waste heat, longer physical distances,
and a variety of payloads which must be accommodated by the
platform . A viable concept in thermal management is a two -phase
fluid loop system that transfers heat by evaporation and
condensation, thereby operating at a constant temperature over
the entire length of the loop. A number of concepts for a two -phase
thermal bus have been investigated; these involved series and
parallel configurations, both with and without mechanical pumps.
Evaluation of these concepts based on weight, thermal
characteristics, ground testability, reliability/ complexity , growth

The liquid droplet radiator (LDR) affords lighter weight for
high -power (greater than 100 kilowatt) spacecraft by eliminating
the solid radiating surface. This is accomplished by shooting a
droplet sheet of radiator fluid from an ejector to a collector thus
allowing the fluid to radiate directly to space. The volumetric nature
of the radiative transfer introduces added complexity in the thermal
analysis of the LDR . Key performance information for LDR designs,
such as interior droplet sheet temperature distribution and local
heat flux, cannot be determined by assigning an effective emissivity
and absorptivity to the sheet. An analysis and computer model
has been developed which realistically models the nature of the
radiative exchange by determining volumetric interchange factors
using ray tracing and a Monte Carlo technique. The computer
analysis returns sheet temperature distribution and heat rejection
information for a rectangular- shaped droplet sheet with specified
optical depth and ejector and collector temperatures. Author

In recent years, with the advent of large spacecraft, thermal
balance testing techniques using infrared lamp sources have
become increasingly attractive. In addition to cost savings, the IR
technique is more versatile in terms of spacecraft orientation and
supplied flux conditions. Because of the differences between solar
illumination and IR simulation the IR lamp flux characteristics must
be accurately determined . An equation predicting the incident flux
distribution of a lamp reflector combination is developed for a
Research Inc. lamp model 5236-5. The radiation absorbed by
spacecraft surfaces under test conditions can be obtained from a
computer code incorporating lamp arrays, specular baffles and
surface property variations with lamp power level and radiation
angle of incidence. Author

The most often utilized method of thermal design verification
for past and current types of spacecraft has been by Solar Thermal
Vacuum (STV) tests at system level. This approach, however, will
require fundamental modifications for future large and complex
spacecraft, three types of which are defined: a large communication
satellite, a modular earth observation satellite and a large infrared
telescope , all exceeding the capabilities of existing STV test
facilities. A trade- off is made between analysis only and analysis
plus test, considering the influence of temperature limits, analysis
uncertainty and correlation of analysis and test, as well as indicating
the ways in which it affects the thermal design verification .
Alternative test methods - STV testing in parts, infrared radiation
tests, thermal canister method, skin heater application - are also
discussed with regard to their advantages and disadvantages of
applying them to the large types of spacecraft. The thermal design
considerations to be regarded and the critical parameters to be
verified by test are highlighted, in order to enable the alternative
verification test concept at an acceptable level of confidence. The
test concepts for the large spacecraft are described briefly.

This paper reports the design and performance of the
NASA /Grumman heat pipe radiator experiment which was
successfully flown on Shuttle flight STS-8. It was the first zero-g
demonstration of the high -capacity monogroove heat pipe concept
which NASA is planning to use in its space constructible radiator
system for future large Space Stations. The subscale 1.85-m-long
U - shaped test article used Freon - 21 working fluid and was
configured with a double- sided radiator for heat rejection and
electrical heaters for heat input. It was operated in the Shuttle
payload bay environment for over 2 hours under a 70 -watt sustained
load. A unique feature of this experiment was the use of
temperature- sensitive liquid crystal film to monitor thermal response
by astronaut observation of color changes. Author

It is pointed out that preliminary design and optimization studies
for new aerospace vehicles require techniques which can calculate
aerodynamic heating rates accurately and efficiently. The method
employed to calculate the flow field depends to a large extent on
the shape of the vehicle, Mach number, Reynolds number, and
Knudsen number. In the case of the aero -assisted orbital transfer
vehicle (AOTV ), a substantial portion of the flight will be in the
transitional regime between continuum and free molecule flow.
The present paper discusses some approximate methods which
have been used to calculate heating rates on high -speed vehicles.
Attention is given to the stagnation point and leading edges, the
downstream region, the axisymmetric analog, laminar and turbulent
heating rates, transition heating rates, gas models, and
three-dimensional applications. G.R.

The design, fabrication , and testing of the full- scale development
unit of a pumped two-phase mounting plate (TPMP) used in
advanced two-phase spacecraft thermal control systems are
described. The mounting plate is tested with R-11 in the evaporator
mode for total heat loads of over 3000 watts and local heat
fluxes over 4 W / sq cm, and in the condenser mode with condenser
loads from 60 to 400 watts and inlet qualities from 8 to 94 percent.
The calculated heat-transfer coefficients are between 0.66 and
1.0 W/sq cm/C and are nearly independent of the flow rate and
heat load except at very low heat loads. It is shown that the
TPMP can be run with inlet conditions down to 22 C subcooling
without any significant gradients in the plate and that it performs
well with nonuniform heat fluxes . M.D.

An assessment of the honeycomb panel heat pipe concept as
a moderate temperature range, low-mass, highly efficient radiator
fin for the NASA Space Station is presented , based on test results
for a thin-wall (0.46 mm) all-welded stainless steel sample with
core depth of 63.5 mm and a hexagonal-cell size of 127.7 mm.
The 0.61 x 3.05 m test segment, operating with methanol as a
working fluid, exhibited a maximum heat transfer rate of 600 W at
50 C and was isothermal to within + or - 2 C almost entirely
throughout the surface. Tilt testing , which comprised relocation of
the heater along one edge of the panel , resulted in maximum
power levels of 70 and 50 W at panel elevations of 12.7 and
25.4 mm , respectively. As-designed panel performance is predicted
to be from 500 to 1000 W over the range of operating temperatures;
better performance is predicted for an open-channel design. L.T.

A new type of fluid dynamic heat rejecting system employing
heat pipe heat rejector ( HPHR) is proposed for a future large
scale space station which will dissipate more than 100 kilowatts
of heat energy in space. One of the significant features of this
system is that it works both as a radiator and a refrigerator
depending on the thermal environment of the spacecraft. Another
feature is that the system can operate at relatively low pressure
18
ranges of less than 1.0 MPa by selecting a suitable working fluid,
since its thermodynamic cycle is composed of two adiabatic and
two constant-volume changes under a vapor- liquid coexisting
condition . This fact will result in a high coefficient of performance
(COP ) and simpleness of structural de To verify the correctness
of this concept, a simple laboratory model of HPHR was
manufactured and demonstrated its cooling capability. Author

the most advanced developed for hypersonic -rarefied flow over
lifting surfaces at incidence. The effects of leading - edge bluntness,
low -density viscous phenomena, and finite-rate flow - field chemistry
and surface catalysis are accounted for. The predicted
aerothermodynamic heating characteristics are correlated with
thermal- control and flight-performance capabilities. The mission
payload capability for delivery, retrieval , and combined operations
is determined for round -trip sorties extending to polar orbits .

The computer code ARCFLO II was used as a guide to increase
the performance of the Interaction Heating Facility at Ames
Research Center. A closed-form scaling law relation was derived
that provides an understanding of the factors that affect enthalpy
in the constricted - arc heater. From a study of this scaling law, it
is concluded that at constant pressure, enthalpy is proportional to
current density raised to the 0.60 power for current densities from
80 to 150 A / sq cm. At constant current density, enthalpy is inversely
proportional to pressure to the nth power, where n varies from
0.14 to 0.43, depending on the current density. Radiative heat
losses are responsible for the falloff in performance at combinations
of high current density and high pressure. An analytical, closed
form scaling law based on a constant-temperature arc-core model
agrees qualitatively with the scaling law deduced from ARCFLO

It is pointed out that the objective of identifying the physical
mass, stiffness, and damping matrices of large structures with
several hundreds of degrees of freedom for the related
mathematical model may be too ambitious because of the involved
practical vibration and modal survey test conditions. Under real
test conditions, the complete information required is not available,
and any physical system matrix identification can only be based
on incomplete model matrices. Link ( 1985) has discussed a
procedure for the identification of incomplete system matrices.
The considered procedure has been implemented in a computer
software package, called ISSPA, which includes also the
preprocessing of dynamic test data and the postprocessing of the
identified data. Scholz ( 1984) has employed a vibration system
with five degrees of freedom to test the sensitivity and accuracy
of the identification procedure . Attention is also given to an

An analysis is made of the deformation behavior of a cruciform
structure consisting of two mutually perpendicular elastic beams
with loads fixed to their ends. It is assumed that the center of
mass of the structure moves, at a constant angular velocity, along
a circular orbit whose radius is much greater than the structure
size. A comparison of results obtained for truss and solid beam
structures indicates that in both cases deformations are of the
same order of magnitude, whereas the weight of the truss structure
(and the cost of putting it in orbit) is significantly lower. V.L.

A steady-state carrier computer code, PECK (Parker Enhanced
Carrier Kinetics), that predicts the radiation - induced conductivity
(RIC) produced in a dielectric by an electron beam was developed.
The model, which assumes instantly - trapped holes , was then
applied to experimental measurements on thin Kapton samples
penetrated by an electron beam . Measurements at high bias were
matched in the model by an appropriate choice for the
trap -modulated electron mobility. A fractional split between front
and rear currents measured at zone bias is explained on the
basis of beam - scattering. The effects of carrier -enhanced
conductivity (CEC) on data obtained for thick, free - surface Kapton
samples is described by using an analytical model that incorporates
field injection of carriers from the RIC region . The computer code,
LWPCHARGE, modified for carrier transport, is also used to predict
partial penetration effects associated with CEC in the unirradiated
region . Experimental currents and surface voltages, when
incorporated in the appropriate models, provide a value for the
trap modulated mobility that is in essential agreement with the
RIC results. B.W.

Modern optimal control methods are proposed as a method
for controlling the vibration of large space structures. These
methods are very dependent on the structural finite element model
as a basis for calculating the optimal control . This research
investigates the effect of inaccuracies of these structural models
on the performance of this type of controller. Any finite element
model is a discretization of the actual structure. As such , it is
impossible to exactly model the structure because the model is
finite and discrete while the structure is continuous. These errors
plus those due to inaccurate assumptions or measurements create
discrepancies between what the structure is and what the controller
is actually designed for. The structural model is used to calculate
a number (equal to the number of degrees of freedom ) of natural
vibration frequencies with their associated mode shapes. These
vibration modes can be grouped into four sets; controlled,
suppressed, residual and unmodeled. The structural model used

Continuum modeling is an efficient method for the analysis of
latticed structures. An equivalent continuum model is sought in
order to model the overall behavior of a discrete structure . This
approach has been applied to several types of structures for many
problems, including eigenvalue, transient response , large

Finite element thermal-structural analyses of cable -stiffened
space structures are presented. A computational scheme for
calculation of prestresses in the cable -stiffened structures is also
described . The determination of thermal loads on orbiting space
structures due to environmental heating is described briefly. Three
finite element structural analysis techniques are presented for the
analysis of prestressed structures. Linear, stress stiffening and
large displacement analysis techniques are investigated. The three
techniques are employed for analysis of prestressed cable
structures at different prestress levels. The analyses produce similar
results at small prestress but at higher prestress, differences

between the results become significant. For the cable -stiffened
structures studied, the linear analysis technique may not provide
acceptable results. The stress stiffening analysis technique may
yield results of acceptable accuracy depending on the prestress.
The large displacement analysis technique produces accurate
results over a wide range of prestresses and is recommended as
a general analysis technique for thermal-structural analysis of
cable - stiffened space structures. Author (GRA)

A methodology is proposed for the integrated design of
structures and their controls. The integration of design is
accomplished through simultaneous selection, via optimization, of
designer- specified parameters governing the structure and its
controller. The cost function is chosen to address the primary
structural and control goals . Inequality constraints are added to
insure that additional design requirements are met. The
methodology is illustrated through development of an example
involving a cantilever beam . A distributed transfer function is derived
from the Bernoulli -Euler beam equation. A controller
parameterization is then chosen, and performance requirements
specified. A controller is then obtained via optimization, which is
shown to give good performance. R.J.F.

Three -legged truss columns are basic structural components
of many envisioned large outer-space structures. They constitute
three longerons ( legs) forming, in the column cross-section, the
vertices of an equilateral triangle. Their longerons are held together
by uniformly spaced battens while a shear web, usually made of
diagonals, restrains shear deformation . This work deals with
configurations characterized by having relatively stiff battens,
longerons which are pinned to the battens and prestressed string
diagonals. Considered are only simple-supported slender columns
having slender longeron segments and relatively thin and lightly
preloaded diagonals. The columns are allowed to have global
(overall) as well as local (longeron segment) geometrical
imperfections --not necessarily small ones. Investigated is the static
structural behavior of such columns when loaded by purely axial
compressive concentrated forces acting at the supports.

In the direct method of shape optimum design, mesh regridding
is a necessary step in order to avoid the distortion of finite element
grids. The effect of internal-nodal movements on the shape design
sensitivity, associated with the regridding processes, has been
carefully examined in this paper. It shows that the ignorance of
internal-nodal movements may introduce numerical error into shape
design sensitivity analysis. To take the internal-nodal movement
into account, a new approach which constructs the velocity field
over the element domain is presented. Although it takes more
computational time, the new approach does improve the accuracy
of shape design sensitivity. Author

An investigation is conducted into the active control of transient

equivalent continua, with emphasis on the effects of initial stresses
on the controllability of transverse dynamic response. A singular
solution approach is used to derive a fully coupled set of nodal
equations of motion which include nonproportional passive
damping , and optimal control techniques are used to develop a
feedback control law. Algorithms for the efficient solution of the
Riccati equation are implemented, and examples are presented

investigation of the free vibration and forced response behavior
of NASA's Solar Array Flight Experiment configuration , modeling
the mast as an Euler beam column and the array as a membrane.
The resulting partial differential equations of motion are transformed
so that boundary conditions are rendered time-invariant, and the
subsequent use of the Galerkin method results in an infinite set
of second -order differential equations that are truncated and solved
for the frequency and forced response behavior of the coupled
structural components . Accurate results for frequency and mode

This study provides a method of vibration control of large space
structures by simultaneously integrating the structure and control
design to reduce the structural response from a disturbance
encountered. The formulation of the design scheme is obtained
by the structural modification of some nominal finite element model,
which is controlled in an optimal fashion by a linear regulator, to
increase the active modal damping factor beyond that of the
nominal structure. The structural modifications are achieved by
using a nonlinear mathematical optimization technique. The
objective function is the weight of the structure with a constraint
on the damping parameter of the closed - loop system . The
application of the algorithm is illustrated by designing an
ACOSS -FOUR model with different constraint values. Author

A design procedure is described which determines the gains
of a diagonal damping matrix to control the vibrations of a flexible
structure with application to orbiting spacecraft. The procedure is
based on minimizing the energy dissipated by control actuators
using nonlinear mathematical programming . Each damping gain is
assumed to be an active viscous damper and the design process
is formulated so that the force or torque output of the actuator
does not exceed a specified value. The response of the structure
at some specified time after the termination of the disturbance is
constrained to be less than some prescribed value based upon
spacecraft mission performance requirements. A grillage example
is used to demonstrate the design process for determining gains
for two representative cases. Resulting designs are verified by a

finite element analysis of the structure augmented by the control
actuators. Author

It is suggested that elastic deformation in large spacecraft
structures can be viewed in terms of propagating disturbances.
The active control of such structures would then be approached
from the viewpoint of the active modification of natural disturbance
propagation paths. Energy can be dissipated either by being
shunted into unimportant portions of the structure or by using
highly sophisticated active dampers which modify the open loop
reflection coefficients of traveling structural wave modes.
Computational examples are adduced which demonstrate the
outstanding theoretical performance achievable by means of
propagation-based controllers. O.C.

used yields the largest possible region of sufficiency. This functional

This paper develops the dynamical equations for the general
motion of gyroelastic vehicles - vehicles modeled by a continuum
of mass, stiffness and gyricity (stored angular momentum). The
motion is expanded in terms of the vehicle's corresponding
constrained modes. The associated eigenvalue problem reveals a
significant departure from the modal behavior of nongyric elastic
vehicles. In general, a gyroelastic vehicle exhibits a ' scleromorphic '
mode in which the vehicle rotates uniformly in a deformed state.
Although the frequency (eigenvalue) of this mode is zero, the
stored strain energy associated with it is nonzero, and it is therefore
not a 'rigid -body' mode. Author

It is known that the optimal control of a forced linear system
may be reduced to that of tracking the system without forces.
The solution of the tracking problem is available via the costate
variables method. This procedure is computationally expensive for
large order systems. It requires solution of matrix Riccati equation
and two final value problems. An alternate approach is outlined
for the direct computation of the optimal control. Instead of Riccati
equation , a matrix Volterra integral must be solved . For this purpose
two computational schemes are described, and an illustrative
example is given. The results compare favorably with the classical
solution. This alternative approach may be especially useful for
the control of large space structure where large order models are
required. Author

experimentally. Three different parameter-optimization techniques
are shown to lead to nearly identical optimal passive -absorber
designs for sample systems with one or two degrees of freedom ,
suggesting that the frequency of a low -mass -ratio absorber is best
tuned near the lowest mode of interest before adjusting the damper
to balance damping between modes. Active actuators designed
by a sequential optimization scheme which optimizes first the
passive parameters and then the regulator gains are found to
give the same performance as those designed by a more
complicated simultaneous scheme. The results of experiments
using electromagnetic inertial-reaction actuators on a

attempts to maximize the allowable magnitude of an unknown but

consists of the calculation of the sensitivity of the parameters of
the optimized control system to small changes in the structural
parameters. Theh second step consists of the optimization of the
structural parameters to produce maximal increase in the
performance of the control system with minimal change in the
structure. The procedure has been demonstrated for a flexible

developed and vibration frequencies determined . Such
configurations would allow shape control by changing member
lengths to be accomplished with small forces. An additional
advantage of a statically determinate structure is being free of
thermal stress under any temperature distribution . Frequency
comparisons between statically determinate and more conventional
redundant platforms are presented. Vibration of curved platforms
that could be used as antenna concepts is also investigated.
Alternate concepts incorporating the statically determinate design
but having improved dynamic characteristics are suggested .

The problem of passively controlling structural deformations in
a large deployable reflector by adding damping to the system is
reviewed. The results of modeling a large deployable reflector
with PATRAN - G and analysing it with EASE2 and MSC /NASTRAN
finite element codes are reported . The first ten asymmetric and
symmetric mode shapes and natural frequencies are determined.
The application of symmetry and the replacement of the mirror
reflectors with lumped masses enables a substantial reduction in
the amount of computer time to be achieved without loss of
accuracy. Following identification of the dynamic characteristics of
the structure, sensitivity analyses enable determination to be made
of the optimal placement of passive damping elements to decrease
the structural deformations of the reflector structure. Author

Lattice plate finite elements based on a continuum model of a
large plate-like lattice space structure are used to examine the
effect of variation of several fundamental structural parameters
on the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the structure.
Reduced order controller design models are developed using modal
cost analysis to rank the modes for each set of structural parameter
values. The linear quadratic Gaussian (LQG) controller design
method is used to develop feeback control systems for each set
of structural parameter values. The resulting system performance
is then evaluated by examining the steady state regulation cost of
the structure as a function on the structural design parameters.

Singular value decomposition is used to construct a coordinate
transformation for a linear dynamic system subject to linear,
homogeneous constraint equations. The method is compared with
two commonly used methods, namely classical Gaussian
elimination and Walton -Steeves approach. Although the classical
method requires fewer numerical operations, the singular value
decomposition method is more accurate and convenient in
eliminating the dependent coordinates. Numerical examples are
presented to demonstrate the application of the method. Author

The dynamics of the planar deployment and lock -up of two
flexible boom -type appendages on a spacecraft are analyzed by
establishing nonlinear equations of motion for the deployment
phase and linear for the post-lock-up phase. Nondimensional
parameters and threshold values are identified in terms of boom
tip deflections, deployment time and root moments for appendages
with tip masses attached to a central rigid body through a rotational
spring; an account is taken of the nonlinear kinematic and structural
terms. It was found that, in general , the solution is influenced
only by two mass ratios and one nondimensional stiffness
parameter. L.T.

Linear quadratic control problems are considered where
frequency -dependent weighting on the control is assumed. When
high frequencies are weighted more heavily than low frequencies,
two qualitative conclusions can be drawn: passband robustness is
reduced and high - frequency robustness is improved . The result
gives a theoretical underpinning to the use of frequency -dependent
weighting when high - frequency uncertainty is present in the plant.

The rigid body attitude control problem with external torques is
transformed into equivalent linear form implementable by three
double integrators. The linearizing transformations themselves are
formulated in vector algebra, requiring no integrators for
implementation . It is thereby shown that optimal command
generation for fast slewing maneuvers can be carried out exactly
in the transformed systems, together with regulator design without
gain scheduling for correction of unmodeled disturbances.

The dynamics of rotating flexible structures are described by
nonlinear hybrid systems of coupled ordinary and partial differential
equations. These equations are derived for a certain class of
structures which has been chosen for study in the belief that it
displays all the important dynamical features to be encountered
with any flexible structure. When structural damping is present,
and there are no external torques, there is a set of equilibrium
states toward which all trajectories of the system evolve. This set
is studied in some detail, and it is shown how the steady state
dynamics may be completely characterized. A brief stability analysis
is given which indicates how a rotating structure settles down to
an equilibrium. Author

It is pointed out that a dual -spin spacecraft may be viewed as
a simple spinning platform carrying a motor-driven symmetric rigid
rotor. The motor is spun up to a desired angular velocity relative
to the platform and then it is maintained at this constant angular
velocity. In the presence of a suitable damping mechanism , and
for sufficiently high rotor angular velocities, one can expect the

sacecraft angular momentum vector to align itself eventually with
the rotor axis. Problems arise, however, with the analytical
verification of this concept. The present investigation is concerned
with the dynamics of rigid spacecraft carrying three (motor driven
or free spinning) rotors. The investigation was motivated by the
problem of analytic verification of certain design conditions for
dual-spin spacecraft known to aerospace engineers. Attention is
given to the underlying Lie - Poisson structures for the considered
spacecraft. G.R.

In recent years, considerable attention has been given to the
problem of controlling flexible systems. Most of the suggested
control schemes have approximate characteristics since unmodeled
modes are neglected. The present investigation is concerned with
an approach which can be used to determine exact open-loop
optimal control solutions in which a finite number of locations
within a flexible system may be brought to a desired final position
and velocity. The form of the solution is a convergent infinite
series of time-varying terms. The truncation of the series introduces
an error, but the magnitude of this error can be easily determined.
The method is demonstrated with the aid of a simple satellite
model. A convolution integral derivation is provided . G.R.

The Lockheed wrap -rib antenna is one of several antenna
designs currently being considered for a variety of earth -orbiting
communications applications. The dynamic characteristics of this
generic type of antenna determine the pointing accuracy and the
limiting radio frequency (RF) quality of the antenna signal. In this
paper, a continuum (partial differential equation or pde) model is
developed for the flexible, wrap-rib antenna. The pde model
provides a convenient method for obtaining a concisely written
representation of the motions of the antenna, a mechanism for
gaining physical insight into its dynamics, and a method for
performing parametric studies of the antenna. When this pde
modeling technique is applied to a specific example, excellent
agreement between the pde model and a high-order finite element
model is obtained, and with only a small fraction of the modeling
and computational requirements of finite element methods.

Lattice form recursive linear least-squares algorithms ( lattices,
for short) are inherently numerically stable, recursive in system
order, and have a history of successful identification of
autoregressive processes. If vibrations are free or forced with white
noise, then the associated equations of motion are autoregressive
and lattices are an appropriate tool for their identification. A slight
modification of the multi-process lattice is derived to estimate
frequencies of vibration. Appropriate procedures are given to test
if assumptions about the system are satisfied. Given the frequencies
of vibration, a least squares estimate of the modes is presented
for the free (unforced ) case . Author

A fourth -order laboratory dynamic system featuring very low

in a minicomputer, which consists of a state estimator, a set of
state feedback gains, and a frequency -locked loop for real-time
parameter identification. The adaptation algorithm employed can
correct controller error and stabilize the system for more than 50
percent variation in the plant's natural frequency, compared with
a 10 percent stability margin in frequency variation for a fixed
gain controller having the same performance as the nominal plant
condition. The very rapid convergence achievable by this adaptive
system is demonstrated experimentally, and proven with simple,

system . It is assumed that the original system is ill-conditioned in

that an accurate description for the high frequency behavior may
not be available. The design procedure attempts to stabilize the
system by minimizing a quadratic cost function made up of the
control and states associated with a reduced order (low frequency)
model for the plant, and a measure of stability for the neglected
fast dynamics. The resulting design procedure does not require
knowledge of the fast dynamics. Author

in speech and signal processing, but they have utility in adaptive
control because of their order - recursive nature. They are especially
useful in dealing with structural dynamics systems wherein the
order of a controller required to damp a vibration is variable
depending on the number of modes significantly excited.
Applications are presented for adaptive control of a flexible beam .

The transfer matrix method for the vibration analysis of flexible

same distributed-element formulation as the impedance -matrix
method , but is pole- free. To assemble an asymmetric characteristic
matrix, the zeros of whose determinant are the natural vibration
frequencies of the structure, a graph - theoretic representation of
the structure is used. By computing the cantilever and free torsional
modes of the Space-Telescope solar-array distributed -element
model, the feasibility of the transfer matrix method is demonstrated.
The results are found to be identical , to full machine precision,

The formulation for the dynamic analysis of flexible multi-body
systems that undergo large rigid body motion , leads to geometrically
non-linear inertia properties due to large rotations. These inertia
non-linearities that represent the coupling between gross rigid body
motion and small elastic deformation, are dependent on the
assumed displacement field. As alternatives to the finite element
methods, deformable body shape functions and shape vectors
are commonly employed to describe elastic deformation of linear
structures. In this paper, substructure shape functions and shape
vectors are used to describe elastic deformation of non-linear
inertia-variant multi-body systems. This leads to two different
representations of inertia nonlinearities ; one is based on a
consistent mass formulation, while the other is a lumped mass

technique. The multi-body systems considered are collections of
interconnected rigid and flexible bodies. Open and closed loop
systems are permitted. Author

Pointing requirements for spaceborne scientific instruments are
getting progressively more stringent. At the same time the
instruments are likely to fly in an increasingly disturbance rich
environment characterized by large basebody and instrument to
instrument dynamic interactions . It is not clear that current
state -of-the- art pointing technology will be able to adequately
address the needs of the mid 1990's. Design options to meet
these needs are suggested herein including an innovative
'softmount concept. The advantages of the softmount approach
as compared to the traditional gimbal architecture are illustrated
through a planar stability and disturbance response analysis.

IMPROVEMENT ON THE STABILIZATION OF A PRECISION
TRACKING SYSTEM

Space Sciences, Journal (ISSN 0021-4663) , vol . 32, no. 360, 1984,
p. 52-59. In Japanese, with abstract in English.
A tracking system that operates from nonstationary platforms
must be able to stabilize the tracking axis for precision tracking.
Implementation of a free gyro pointing assembly which has a
momentum wheel as an integral part of the inner gimbal assembly
and that is oriented with its spin axis parallel to the line of sight,
is the most widely used method for tactical missiles. The paper
describes two methods to improve the stabilization of this tracking
system by adjusting the gimbal balance during accelerated
condition and adjusting gimbal friction torque at an optimium level
appropriate to the applied torque. The results show a one- fifth
improvement of the drift rate. Author

Problems of structural re -analyses in design optimization with
constraints on the vibration response of dynamically loaded
structures have been addressed. The inherent nonlinearity of the
response quantities with respect to the design variables has in
the past limited the application to first-order natural frequency
05 STRUCTURAL DYNAMICS AND CONTROL
updates. Second -order methods have tended to be prohibitive
because of the need to evaluate the natural modes (eigenvectors)
updates. The method proposed adopts an alternate and more
direct approach to the forced vibration problems by evaluating the
nodal response updates in a given direction. The update formulation
developed takes advantage of the mutual orthogonality of the
natural modes to construct higher -order directional derivatives of
the transformed coordinate (modal) response quantities. These
are subsequently used to obtain a total summation of the Taylor
series representation for the response updates. The formulation
is particularly suited to the design of large structures where modal
truncation can be employed to restrict the computational costs.
Numerical examples have been provided to illustrate both the higher
quality and the effects of modal truncation on the results.

This paper examines the vibrational excitation rate processes
expected in the flow field of aeroassisted orbital transfer vehicles
( AOTVs). An analysis of the multiple-quantum vibrational excitation
processes by electron impact is made to predict the vibrational
excitation cross sections, rate coefficients, and relaxation times
which control vibrational temperature. The expression for the rate
of electron-vibration energy transfer is derived by solving the system
of master equations which account for the multiple-level transitions.
The vibrational excitation coefficients, which are the prerequisite
physical quantities in solving the obtained vibrational equation ,
are calculated based on the theoretically predicted cross sections.
These cross sections are obtained from quantum mechanical
calculations, based on the concept that vibrational excitation of
molecules by electron impact occurs through formation of an
intermediate negative ion state. Finally, the modified
Landau- Teller-type rate equation, which is suitable for the numerical
calculations for the AOTV flow fields, is suggested. Author

This paper documents in scalar detail a minimum dimension
set of discrete coordinate equations of motion of a spacecraft
with a chain of hinge-connected rigid bodies in a gravitational
field . The equations are nonlinear in attitude angles in orbital plane
and linear in attitude rates. The derivation procedure is based on
Newtonian mechanics and employs the 'direct path' technique .
Unknown constraint forces at hinges are eliminated analytically.
Translational motion of all the bodies is expressed in terms of
attitude motion by using a kinematical identity. Symmetry of an
associated mass matrix and antisymmetry of gyroscopic matrix
are proved. Also , symmetry of a stiffness matrix corresponding to
linear range of attitude angles is verified. The motion equations
are numerically illustrated for a five-body spacecraft. Author

The equations of rotational motion for a spacecraft equipped
with external jets and internal reaction wheels are shown to be
feedback -equivalent to those of a linear system in attitude
parameter space. Reorientation maneuvers are thereby formulated
as linear optimal control problems with least mean square
acceleration in attitude parameter space, solved in closed form
and implementable either with internal or external torque
commands, the choice depending on power and throttling
requirements. For prior detumbling, an alternative solution with
least mean square torque by angular momentum feedback is also
given , that is implementable with gimbaled pairs of thrusters at
constant throttle . Such detumbling mar euver may then be
followed by an acceleration -commanded rest- to -rest maneuver by
means of the reaction wheels. Author

of the associated sparse stiffness matrices before and after matrix
factorization are predicted and preserved first. A modified active

the stiffness matrix and perform the forward reduction and
backward substitution of the load vectors. The arithmetic operations
and backup storage of zero elements are thus avoided. Simply
supported plates divided into large number of finite elements are
used as examples to illustrate the efficiency of the algorithms

Orbiting spacecraft such as large space antennas have to
maintain a highly accurate shape to operate satisfactorily. Such
structures require active and passive controls to maintain an
accurate shape under a variety of disturbances. Methods for the
optimum placement of control actuators for correcting static
deformations are described. In particular, attention is focused on
the case were control locations have to be selected from a large
set of available sites, so that integer programing methods are
called for . The effectiveness of three heuristic techniques for
e obtaining a near -optimal site selection is compared. In addition,
efficient reanalysis techniques for the rapid assessment of control
effectiveness are presented. Two examples are used to
demonstrate the methods: a simple beam structure and a 55m

CONCEPT OF SOLENOIDALLY STABILIZED REFLECTOR
DISHES IN SPACE
E. H. LEMKE Acta Astronautica (ISSN 0094-5765) , vol. 12, March
1985, p. 149-154. refs
The idea of stabilizing the shape of a reflector dish for a
space-based radiotelescope by an extensive magnetic field is
considered. A construction is outlined where the axes of rotational
symmetry of the dish lie on the axes of rotational symmetry of a
large circular solenoid . Its magnetic field produces a stabilizing
pressure by acting on a distribution of dipole moment on the dish.
In cosmic regions where the gravity gradient is smaller than the
solar radiation pressure , large receiver apertures and large
area - to -mass ratios of the dish are attainable . The latter might
lead to a higher shape accuracy of the reflecting surface compared
to the truss frame stabilization. A calculation is made of the
distribution of dipole moment that gives a parabolic surface in the
approximation of no dish elasticity and no magnetic dish-dish
interaction . A disadvantage is the relative large mass of the
solenoid. However, it is found that it can be about three times
smaller in diameter than the dish . Author

of applying the local decentralized feedback control technique to
the SPS attitude / shape control. The controller is implemented by
feeding back only the local measurements, and its feedback gains
are designed based on the small-size subsystem model . The

estimation , based on the information of an aggregate model. A
simple numerical model is introduced to illustrate the design
procedure and the stability evaluation results. It is concluded that
the major problems of the SPS mission can be attained by the
proposed local decentralized control. Author

Real-time algorithms that estimate the mass -property
parameters commonly used in spacecraft control laws are
developed based upon a stochastic estimation viewpoint. The
elements of the inverse inertia matrix and the center -of -mass
location vector are estimated from noisy measurements of the
angular velocity using a second -order filter, while estimates of the
mass reciprocal are generated from noisy linear velocity
measurements using a Kalman filter. Simulation results show that
the rate of convergence of each estimate depends strongly upon
the particular maneuver being performed, but that the mass
properties can be estimated to within one percent error . Author

A general formulation has been developed for the attitude
dynamics of a spacecraft with controlled flexible appendages. It is
applicable to evaluate the dynamical effect of controlling the
orientation and /or the position of flexible structural elements. To
obtain a simple formulation, the flexible element is expressed only
in the modal space coordinates with the synthetic mode approach.
This eliminates a burden of matrix inverting operations in the
computational procedure which is derived from the
time-dependency of mass and stiffness spatial distributions. An
application is also included for the investigation of Japanese ETS-1||
spacecraft on -orbit performance with unexpected attitude rate
output. The investigation result shows the dynamical interaction
with the solar array rotation and an on -orbit experiment to stop
the rotation has been done to demonstrate it. Author

The point stability of manipulators in the presence of external
disturbances associated with space construction and servicing
(SCS) is considered . Manipulator control strategies are compared
on the basis of a two-dimensional model of an SCS manipulator.
The control strategies studied were: rigid -body control; and a
strategy including a selected number of flexural modes in the
control design. The compensator in each case was a multivariable
proportional- integral controller. It is shown that the active modal
control is highly robust with respect to variations in the controller
gain and the flexural stiffness of the manipulator. In particular,

active modal control had a much shorter disturbance recovery
time than rigid body control. I.H.

It is expected that space systems for the future will evolve to
structures of unprecedented size, with associated extreme control
requirements. The current methods for active control of large space
structures suffer from basic limitations: strong dependence upon
high fidelity parameter estimates and the inability to recognize
system performance changes. An alternative approach using
artificial intelligence is postulated that may overcome these limits.

Active vibration damping was implemented on a pendulous,
two -dimensional laboratory structure having 13 vibration modes
with natural frequencies under 10 Hz and very light inherent
damping. The control system includes a digital controller and five
pairs of dual (colocated) velocity sensors and force actuators,
which were supported externally, not borne by the vibrating
structure. This control system was used for implementation of two
different active damping techniques, uncoupled and coupled output
rate feedback. The former was based on a minimum -gain criterion,
the latter on modal-space active damping . Both techniques
produced substantial active damping of eleven modes with natural
frequencies under 10 Hz, and both positively augmented the
damping of all modes. Good agreement was achieved between
experimentally measured and theoretically calculated
structure -control system dynamic response. Author

This paper describes theoretical and experimental work
performed on the modelling and vibration control of a hanging
flexible beam . The particular beam , and the actuators and sensors
used were developed at the DFVLR over the past three years in
order to test various control algorithms in an idealized setting.
The synthesis and laboratory implementation of low -authority
controllers based upon feedback of structural deflection velocity
to actuator force has been the subject of previous studies. This
paper extends this previous work with the design and laboratory
implementation of low -authority controllers based upon concepts
of disturbance propagation and reflection . Control forces are
applied to the lower end of the hanging beam. Compensators are
derived which feed back local deflection and slope to control

force and moment with the goal of minimizing the reflection of
energy at the lower end. Several of these compensators are
approximated by analog electronic filters for laboratory
implementation . The performance of these wave- absorbing
compensators is compared with that of velocity feedback.

This paper studies the problem of simultaneously controlling
the communications beam and the attitude angles of the main
bus of a flexible spacecraft. The controller is a multivariable
proportional- integral compensator augmented by a Kalman filter.
Two design methods have been explored: the first method is based
on eigenvalue analysis, while the second makes use of a singular
value criterion . Both approaches result in a controller that is robust
in the presence of the residual modes omitted from the design
model. The singular value method, however, is shown to be far
more conservative than the eigenvalue method. Author

The space station will be deployed and assembled in low earth

be required involving both ground and in -orbit operations. In this
paper, the construction process of a four-panel space station and
its control problems are discussed. The applicability of a direct
model reference adaptive control technique with plant augmentation
is investigated. Control during several key assembly operation
periods has been simulated. These include Shuttle docking with
initial-phase station, habitat module mating, and Shuttle docking
with operational station. High rate of convergence and robust
performance have been observed for all the simulated cases even
with 40 percent model parameter errors and model truncations
and more than 100 percent instant mass property variations.
Controller with severe gain saturations is also discussed and results

A linear optimization approach with a simple real arithmetic
algorithm is presented for reliable controller design and vibration
suppression of flexible structures. Using first order sensitivity of
the system eigenvalues with respect to the design parameters in
conjunction with a continuation procedure , the method converts a
nonlinear optimization problem into a maximization problem with
linear inequality constraints. The method of linear programming is
then applied to solve the converted linear optimization problem.
The general efficiency of the linear programming approach allows
the method to handle structural optimization problems with a large
number of inequality constraints on the design vector. The method
is demonstrated using a truss beam finite element model for the
optimal sizing and placement of active/ passive-structural members
for damping augmentation. Results using both the sequential linear
optimization approach and nonlinear optimization are presented
and compared. The insensitivity to initial conditions of the linear
optimization approach is also demonstrated. Author

Integrated power and attitude control system (IPACS) studies
performed over a decade ago established the feasibility of
simultaneously storing electrical energy in wheels and utilizing the
resulting momentum for spacecraft attitude control . It was shown
that such a system possessed many advantages over other
contemporary energy storage and attitude control systems in many
applications . More recent technology advances in composite rotors,
magnetic bearings, and power control electronics have triggered
new optimism regarding the feasibility and merits of such a system.
This paper presents the results of a recent study whose focus
was to define an advanced IPACS and to evaluate its merits for
the Space Station application . Emphasis is given to the selection
of the wheel configuration to perform the combined functions. A
component design concept is developed to establish the system
performance capability. A system -level trade study , including
life-cycle costing , is performed to define the merits of the system
relative to two other candidate systems. It is concluded that an
advanced IPACS concept is not only feasible but offers substantial
savings in mass and life -cycle cost. Author

targeting in order to accomplish path-constrained approaches in

difficulties that inhere in the accomplishment of such rendezvous
transfers due to physical constraints imposed by the structures'
surfaces. Operationally feasible transfer techniques which

It is pointed out that satellites and other large spacecraft
structures are generally lightly damped due to low structural
damping in the materials used . In large structures, these vibrations
have long decay times which can lead to fatigue, instability, or
other problems with the operation of the structure. The present
investigation has the objective to design and experimentally
evaluate an active vibration damper for distributed - parameter
systems using a distributed -parameter actuator. The design and
analysis of an active damper for a thin cantilever beam are
discussed, and a description is provided of the apparatus and
procedures used in the preliminary testing of the damper. G.R.

in conjunction with the singular-value decomposition technique to
derive the basic formulation of minimum order realization which is
an extended version of the Ho-Kalman algorithm. The basic
formulation is then transformed into modal space for modal

SPACECRAFT TRAJECTORY TARGETING BY

D. G. STUART AIAA Student Journal (ISSN 0001-1460) , vol. 23,
Spring 1985, p. 24-30 , 33 , 34. refs
A new method of determining a spacecraft trajectory target
using boundary -condition orbit fitting was developed. The two -point
orbital boundary value problem was extended to consider 3 of 4
parameters in determining the trajectory: velocity, altitude, flight
path angle, and transfer angle. Two cases were studied to test
the theory: ( 1 ) trajectory determination for a LEO to GEO transfer
and (2) earth launch to LEO insertion . The results revealed that
good targeting accuracy was possible with less than 0.001 percent
error between the actual and desired target values; and delta-v
values were close to optimal. This fast orbit fitting technique is
easily implemented and can be applied to many two -body
space-flight targeting problems. I.F.

Uncontrolled vibrations are known to have damaged satellite
structures. Piezoelectric film , composed of polarized polyvinylidene
fluoride (PVF2) , covered by a layer of Ni or Al was devised to
control vibrations. In the test, a 0.011 in. thick film was bonded to
one side of a steel hacksaw-like beam (the PVF2 was polarized
along a single axis parallel to the length of the beam) . A voltage
applied in step with vibrations and determined by the angular
velocity of the beam tip produces a strain in the film , damping
the vibrations. The film was most effective in damping small
displacements and in preventing weak vibrations at resonant
frequencies from building up. Discrete actuators could handle the
larger vibrations down to where piezoelectric damping is more
effective. I.S.

It is doubtful whether the dynamics of large space structures
(LSS) can be predicted well enough for control system design
applications. Hence, dynamic modeling from on-orbit measurements
followed by a modification of the control system is of interest,
taking into account the utilization of adaptive control concepts.
The present paper is concerned with the model determination
phase of the adaptive control problem. Using spectral decoupling
to determine mode shapes, mode frequency and damping data
can be obtained with the aid of an equation error parameter
identification method . This method employs a second-order
auto -regressive moving average (ARMA) model to represent the
natural mode amplitudes. The discussed procedure involves an
extension of the application of the least square lattice filter in
system identification to a nonintegral, two - dimensional grid structure

model of the large structure as well as models of its dynamics,
its onboard controller, its sensor / actuator systems, and various
disturbances to which it may be subjected. Control performance
parameters must be computed as functions of time, or of such
other design parameters as control gain. A large space antenna
is used as an example of the structures in question, illustrating

In the present algorithm for the generation of space structure
dynamic representations, the rigid dynamics undergoes perturbation
by multidimensional elastic deformations that are distributed over
some or all of the structure's elements. This generic model permits

the representation of flexible - rigid dynamics' interactions as a
diffusion process that is driven by a locally continuous martingale.
The expectation -matching algorithm presented, which is a
discretization scheme for this process, allows real
implementation and is based on the approximation of the stochastic
dynamics of the diffusion process by way of a suitably defined
Markov chain. From this chain, estimates of the rigid state of the
structure can be obtained by a simple averaging process. O.C.

An approach and a technique for effectively obtaining reduced
order mathematical models of a given large order model for the
purposes of synthesis, analysis and implementation of control
systems is developed. This approach involves the use of an error
criterion which is the H -infinity norm of a frequency weighted error
between the full and reduced order models. The weightings are
chosen to take into account the purpose for which the reduced
order model is intended . A previously unknown error bound in the
H -infinity norm for reduced order models obtained from internally
balanced realizations was obtained. This motivated
development of the balancing technique to include the frequency
dependent weightings. This resulted in the frequency weighted
balanced realization and a new model reduction technique. Two
approaches to designing reduced order controllers were developed.
The first involves reducing the order of a high order controller
with an appropriate weighting. The second involves linear quadratic
Gaussian synthesis based on a reduced order model obtained
with an appropriate weighting. Author

A quantitative method for comparing active and passive damping
according to weight and positivity criteria is outlined which assumes
thruster actuators for active damping and viscoelastic material for
passive damping. Each of these damping techniques is
implemented by optimizing the damping performance against
weight. The Mobile Communications Satellite (MSAT) is used as
a model to compare active and passive damping . The results
show that, in general, active damping is much more weight-cost
effective and possesses better positivity qualities than passive
damping. Until the design of the active system incorporates a
filter for observation noise that is equal in magnitude to the
disturbance noise, passive damping will not be more weight-cost
effective than active damping. A.R.H.

A surface potential monitor was developed to measure the
superficial electrostatic charging in solar cell covers and OSRS.
The equipment correlates abrupt surface potential charges resulting
from electrostatic discharges occuring during geomagnetic
substorm events and spacecraft disturbances, and can also be
used to drive an active spacecraft charging control system . The
monitor must measure electrostatic fields up to 50 kW/ mn and
detect fields 100 times smaller. Temperature range is from minus
150 to + 80 C. It must sustain ionizing radiation and ultrahigh

The NASA Langley Research Center participated in the Solar
Array Experiment with two primary objectives: (1 ) to study the
structural and control dynamics of a new class of large, lightweight,
low -frequency space structures, and (2) to develop technology for
remote video measurement of structural motions. The shuttle
orbiter's closed circuit television (CCTV) system was used to
provide recorded video images of the solar array from four locations
in the payload bay, two on the forward bulkhead and two on the
aft bulkhead. White reflective targets were placed on the array to
provide discrete points at which to track array motion. A dynamic
test consisted of a quiescent period in which orbiter operations
were inhibited and crew motion restricted, an excitation period ,
and a free decay period. The orbiter was placed in free drift while
in a gravity gradient orientation and dynamics tests were timed to
occur at orbital noon so that the Sun would illuminate one side of
the array and Earth albedo the other. The CCTV system was
turned on during the quiescent period, approximately 3 minutes
prior to excitation . Video from all four CCTV cameras was recorded
continuously through the excitation and free-decay periods for a
total test record of 8 to 10 minutes. G.L.C.

A fundamental problem in designing and delivering large space
structures to orbit is to provide sufficient structural stiffness and
static configuration precision to meet performance requirements.
These requirements are directly related to control requirements
and the degree of control system sophistication available to
supplement the as-built structure. Background and rationale are
presented for a research study in structures, structural dynamics,
and controls using a relatively large, flexible beam as a focus.
This experiment would address fundamental problems applicable
to large, flexible space structures in general and would involve a
combination of ground tests, flight behavior prediction , and
instrumented orbital tests. Intended to be multidisciplinary but basic
within each discipline, the experiment should provide improved
understanding and confidence in making design trades between
structural conservatism and control system sophistication for
meeting static shape and dynamic response / stability requirements.
Quantitative results should be obtained for use in improving the
validity of ground tests for verifying flight performance analyses.

these spacecraft can naturally and profitably be analyzed as a
collection of attached substructures (solar array panels, antennas,

substructural energy dissipation so that an overall damping model

that matches output covariances and Markov parameters of the
original system . This technique preserves the mean - squared values
of the system outputs, and important property since most 2
performance specifications are given in terms of maximum

The overall objective of the Simulation Extension Project is to
identify and quantify those generic missing scenario and sensor
parameters (as well as their interactions) which drive the
performance of the space-based storing IR surveillance systems.
The approach taken to achieve this overall objective has proceeded
along two main avenues: Simulation Enhancements; and Simulation
Applications. During the current reporting period, the Simulation
Enhancements effort has concentrated in three areas: continuation
of the Generic Scene Simulation development; enhancements to
the Signal Processor Simulation; and expansion of the capabilities
of the integrated Large Space Structures Simulation. The Simulation
Applications effort has been focused most recently on simulation
and evaluation of algorithms for line-of-sight jitter reduction . Within
the framework of the ROFT (Rapid Optics Fabrication Technology)
program, the characterization of materials for large space mirrors
is obtained by examining the impact of material properties on the
performance of mirrors. The study recognizes major differences
for material requirements between IR systems and laser
applications. Research in active structural control encompasses

design of reduced-order controllers for vibration suppression;
development of approaches to system parameter identification;
and generation of large -angle slew maneuvers. In this report,
theoretical advances and demonstrations in the first two categories
are presented. A scientific experiment to examine the process of
synthesizing feedback controllers for precision pointing of a passive
optical system in a wideband disturbance environment is

The main emphasis in the first phase of this work has been
the adaptation and enhancement of certain Wiener-Hopf methods
for control system design used by J. Davis for treatment of linear,
dynamic, distributed parameter models of flexible structures. The
numerical algorithms for executing the spectral factorization were
based on some earlier work of F. Stenger. The Davis-Stenger
methodology was adapted to the problem of vibration control of
flexible structures. The spectral factorization methodology avoids
the difficult numerical problems associated with the solution of
the Riccati partial differential equations which arise in the time
domain approach for designing stabilizing controllers. In this way
distributed phenomena, like travelling waves, which characterize
the macroscopic dynamics of flexible structures are retained in
the model, and their interaction with the control system is preserved
in the analytical design process. Computational algorithms were
developed and several prototype systems were treated including
the Euler Beam and a simple two dimensional system. Second
part of the research involved the use of a mathematical technique

A progress report is presented that deals with three major
topics related to Tethered Satellite System Dynamics. The SAO
rotational dynamics computer code was updated. The program is
now suitable to deal with inclined orbits. The output has been
also modified in order to show the satellite Euler angles referred
to the rotating orbital frame. The three-dimensional high resolution
STRUCTURAL DYNAMICS AND CONTROL
computer program SLACK3 was developed. The code simulates
the three-dimensional dynamics of a tether going slack taking into
account the effect produced by boom rotations . Preliminary
simulations on the three - dimensional dynamics of a recoiling slack
tether are shown in this report. A program to evaluate the electric
potential around a severed tether is immersed in a plasma. The
potential is computed on a three-dimensional grid axially symmetric
with respect to the tether longitudinal axis. The electric potential
variations due to the plasma are presently under investigation .

Results obtained with the Dynamic Control and Analysis
Package (DCAP ) are compared with theory for the structural
engineering of a spinning satellite with two elastic appendages
mounted symmetrically along the spin axis. This is relevant per
se and because it can represent a first approximation to a satellite
with flexible solar panels. It also provides a means of understanding
gyroscopic coupling. Good agreement between the eigenvalues
of the system and a variety of test cases obtained from direct
analytical treatment with those obtained with DCAP is obtained.
The influence of the number of joints on a representation of the
flexible members was checked, DCAP produces satisfactory results
under many different conditions. The influence of the number of
modes was also checked. A routine for modeling flexible beams

The derivation of the equations of motion for the Spacecraft
Control Laboratory Experiment (SCOLE) is reported and the
equations of motion of a similar structure orbiting the earth are
also derived. The structure is assumed to undergo large rigid-body
maneuvers and small elastic deformations. A perturbation approach
is proposed whereby the quantities defining the rigid-body maneuver
are assumed to be relatively large, with the elastic deformations
and deviations from the rigid -body maneuver being relatively small.
The perturbation equations have the form of linear equations with
time- dependent coefficients. An active control technique can then
be formulated to permit maneuvering of the spacecraft and
simultaneously suppressing the elastic vibration. E.A.K.

Three model reduction techniques were examined for their
applicability to large lightly damped systems. Frequency truncation ,
modal cost analysis, and approximate internal balancing methods
are applied to the CSDL I and Il models. Two actuator/ sensor
configurations are investigated on the CSDL I. Control of the CSDL
I model is implemented through the use of the steady state optimal
regulator theory, and the effect of various reduced order control
models on the structure's time response is detailed . Modal cost
analysis and internal balancing yield is essentially equivalent results
for the cases chosen, although the internal balancing technique
provides more information concerning actuator/ sensor
effectiveness. These methods provide more effective reduced order

In this thesis optimal open loop aand nonlinear feedback control 1
histories are presented for a problem of detumbling (passivating)
a target satellite by a remotely operated robot spacecraft.
Detumbling is required so that the robot spacecraft, sometimes
called a teleoperator or orbital maneuvering vehicle (OMV), can
return the target satellite to low - Earth orbit for servicing and repair.
The dynamics of the coupled two-body system are described with
equations of motion derived from an Eulerian formulation (the
Hooker-Margulies equations) . Two degrees of rotational freedom
are allowed at the joint which connects the OMV and target
spacecraft, and the joint is allowed to translate on the surface of
the OMV. The initial condition of the axially symmetric target satellite
is free spin and precession. Representative masses and inertias
are assumed for each body. The detumbling controls, which are
the external (thruster) and internal (joint) torques applied by the
OMV, are found from optimal control theory yields a nonsingular
two -point-boundary -value- problem which is solved numerically for
the open loop controls over a specified time internal. Control
constraints on the thrusters and one of the joint torques are also
considered. Liapunov stability theory is used to derive a nonlinear
feedback control which results in the asympototic stability of a
set of equilibria for the two -body system. This control law is 3
analyzed numerically and compared to the results of optimum
open loop control. GRA

An eigenspace optimization approach is used to incorporate
optimal control into the structural design process for large flexible
space structures. The equations of motion for an uncontrolled
system are developed by deriving the kinetic and potential energy
for the system and then using assumed modes to discretize the
energies. These expressions are then linearized, the Lagrangian
formed , and Lagrange equations written for the system. An existing
optimal control law is incorporated to form the equations of motion
for the controlled system . A parameter optimization technique is
used to minimize the mass of the Draper/ RPL configuration model
involving eigenspace optimization. A computer algorithm is
developed that effectively optimizes a global structural parameter
vector to minimize the mass of the model, while constraining
specified eigenvalues. The eigenvalue sensitivities are passed to
a constrained function minimization program called CONMIN which
minimizes the mass of the appendages. The constraints imposed
restrict the first eigenvalue to the left halt plane and the natural
frequency of the third eigenvalue to a specified stable region . The
result is an algorithm that incorporates an existing optimal control
law into the structural optimization process. GRA

The equations of motion of a flexible shuttle -beam -antenna
system are developed and discretized using an assumed modes
approximation. The system was modeled as a cantilever beam
rigidly attached to the shuttle with the motion of the antenna

accounted for as forces and moments on the beam's free end.
The equations of motion for the system were formed from the
linearized kinetic and potential energies using Lagrange's method.
The equations were put into matrix form, and the matrices were
diagonalized. Linear optimal regulator techniques were employed
to control the system . Two proof-mass actuators were modeled
at the 40- and 80 - foot positions along the beam . The shuttle was
assumed to be able to be torqued about it's axes, as was the
antenna. Initial runs of the ACOSS computer program showed the
system to be stable with unit weighting on the weighting matrix.
The system was driven unstable by changing the weightings on
the flexible modes. The suppression algorithm in the program

Proposed space missions will require large scale, light weight,
space based structural systems. Large space structure technology
(LSST) systems will have to accommodate (among others): ocean
data systems; electronic mail systems; large multibeam antenna
systems; and, space based solar power systems. The structures
are to be delivered into orbit by the space shuttle. Because of
their inherent size, modelling techniques and scaling algorithms
must be developed so that system performance can be predicted
accurately prior to launch and assembly. When the size and
weight-to -area ratio of proposed LSST systems dictate that the
entire system be considered flexible, there are two basic modeling
methods which can be used. The first is a continuum approach, a
mathematical formulation for predicting the motion of a general
orbiting flexible body, in which elastic deformations are considered
small compared with characteristic body dimensions. This approach
is based on an a priori knowledge of the frequencies and shape
functions of all modes included within the system model .
Alternatively, finite element techniques can be used to model the
entire structure as a system of lumped masses connected by a
series of (restoring) springs and possibly dampers. In addition, a
computational algorithm was developed to evaluate the coefficients
of the various coupling terms in the equations of motion as applied
to the finite element model of the Hoop/Column. F.M.R.

A development of the in plane open loop rotational equations
of motion for the proposed Spacecraft Control Laboratory
Experiment ( SCOLE) in orbit configuration is presented based on
an Eulerian formulation . The mast is considered to be a flexible
beam connected to the (rigid ) shuttle and the reflector. Frequencies
and mode shapes are obtained for the mast vibrational appendage
modes (assumed to be decoupled) for different boundary conditions
based on continuum approaches and also preliminary results are
obtained using a finite element representation of the mast reflector
system . The linearized rotational in plane equation is characterized
by periodic coefficients and open loop system stability can be
examined with an application of the Floquet theorem. Numerical
results are presented to illustrate the potential instability associated
with actuator time delays even for delays which represent only a
small fraction of the natural period of oscillation of the modes
contained in the open loop model of the system. When plant and
measurement noise effects are added to the previously designed

deterministic model of the hoop column system, it is seen that
both the system transient and steady state performance are
degraded. Mission requirements can be satisfied by appropriate
assignment of cost function weighting elements and changes in

An analytical study was performed to predict and assess the
effect of actuator and sensor errors on the performance of a
shape control procedure for flexible space structures using applied
temperatures. Approximate formulas were derived for the expected
value and variance of the rms distortion ratio (ratio of rms distortions
with and without corrections) based on the assumption of
zero - mean normally distributed random errors in measured
distortions and actuator output temperatures. Studies were carried
out for a 55-meter radiometer antenna reflector distorted from its
ideal parabolic shape by nonuniform orbital heating. The first study
consisted of varying the sensor and actuator errors for the case
of 12 actuators and computing the distortion ratio. In the second
study, sensor and actuator errors were prescribed and the effect
of increasing the number of actuators was evaluated. Author

that define the location and orientation of a body reference frame,
and second , the elastic generalized coordinates that define the
elastic deformation of the finite element nodal points with respect
to the body reference. The effect of internal material damping is
acounted for by using a linear viscoelastic model Viogt-Kelvin ,
whereby the stress is assumed to be proportional with the strain
and its time derivative. The system equations of motion are
formulated using Lagrange's Equations. A multirate integration

recommended in the MSFC baseline design were found to be
advantageous for initial rate matching maneuvers with unstabilized

A dual spin space station design is described. The space station
has a cylindrical solar array that is spun to provide both gyroscopic
stiffness to the space station and to stiffen the array structure.
The platform is spun at the orbital angular rate. The space station
is designed to have gravity gradient and aerodynamic restoring
torques. An active control system is used to stabilize the station
and store excess angular momentum until it can be removed from
the station by magnetic torques. E.A.K.

Dynamic models for two space station configurations were
derived. Space shuttle docking disturbances and their effects on
the station and solar panels are quantified. It is shown that hard
shuttle docking can cause solar panel buckling. Soft docking and
berthing can substantially reduce structural loads at the expense
of large shuttle and station attitude excursions . It is found
predocking shuttle momentum reduction is necessary to achieve
safe and routine operations. A direct model reference adaptive
control is synthesized and evaluated for the station model
parameter errors and plant dynamics truncations. The rigid body
and the flexible modes are treated. It is shown that convergence
of the adaptive algorithm can be achieved in 100 seconds with
reasonable performance even during shuttle hard docking
operations in which station mass and inertia are instantaneously
changed by more than 100 % . E.A.K.

The electromagnetic (EM) performance of large flexible
antennas is traditionally achieved by imposing stringent geometric
restrictions on the structural distortions from a nominal optimum
configuration . An approach to alleviate the stringency of the
geometrical criteria of satisfactory performance is presented. The
approach consists of generating a linear optimal control problem
with quadratic cost functional where the cost functional is obtained
from the EM characteristics of the antenna and the dynamic system
constraint is given by the structural model of the antenna. It is
established that the EM based optimal controller is considerably
more efficient than the traditional geometrical based controllers.
The same EM performance can be achieved with a much reduced

Future spacecraft are being conceived that are highly flexible
and of extreme size. The two features of flexibility and size pose
new problems in control system design . Since large scale structures
are not testable in ground based facilities, the decision on
component placement must be made prior to full-scale tests on
the spacecraft. Control law research is directed at solving problems
of inadequate modelling knowledge prior to operation required to
achieve peak performance. Another crucial problem addressed is
accommodating failures in systems with smart components that
are physically distributed on highly flexible structures. Parameter
adaptive control is a method of promise that provides on - orbit
tuning of the control system to improve performance by upgrading
the mathematical model of the spacecraft during operation . Two
specific questions are answered in this work. They are: What limits
does on-line parameter identification with realistic sensors and
actuators place on the ultimate achievable performance of a system
in the highly flexible environment? Also , how well must the
mathematical model used in on -board analytic redundancy be
known and what are the reasonable expectations for advanced
redundancy management schemes in the highly flexible and
distributed component environment ? B.W.

One of the major problems of LSS attitude control design stems
from the modeling uncertainties due to modal truncation errors
and modal parameter estimation errors. This modeling problem is
investigated by evaluating poles and zeros of the frequency
response functions, described in terms of constrained or
unconstrained modes. The frequency domain approach is utilized
to evaluated the results of modal analyses and direct output
feedback controller experiments using a simple flexible spacecraft
model consisting of a rigid primary body and flexible aluminum
beam(s) with a control moment gyro as an actuator. The modal
data are compared under the conditions that the model is
constrained as the canti-lever and it is rotationally free on a
single -axis air bearing table. In addition, the open -loop responses
are experimentally examined under the impulsive disturbance to
the appendage. The results of the control experiments show that
the first vibration mode of the appendage and the interacted
rotational motion of the primary body are damped in a short time
as predicted by the numerical analysis, to produce damping ratio
of 10-20 % . Author

each mode of the modal expansion of the solution is in fact an
underdamped function of time. It is noted that a distributed
parameter system which is underdamped is also uniformly
exponentially stable. By appealing to the work of Gibson, a finite
dimensional model of the system will yield satisfactory control
laws . Furthermore , it is shown that the assumption of the
underdamping also allows straightforward computation of rough
bounds on the magnitude of the unmodeled or residual modes for
a modal truncation scheme. Hence, underdamped systems are
precisely that class of distributed parameter systems which are
not likely to have spillover problems and which will yield
convergence of finite dimensional control laws to control laws
which are optimal for the full distributed parameter model of the

The methods presented are based on results from infinite
dimensional control theory, but they can be described and used
in a finite dimensional context. This blend leads to an approach
which employs powerful ideas on convergence, and is also quite
practical for systems of realistic complexity. Appropriate reduced
order models are generated simultaneously with the development
of the compensator. The required models change as a function of
changes in the performance demanded , sensor and actuator
location, inherent damping, disturbances, etc. Thus they are driven
by the control and estimation problems at hand. The compensators
which emerge are very close to the ideal compensators which
would be obtained with a very large order model . However, some
simplification is frequently possible. The method of balanced
realizations was found to be effective for this purpose. R.J.F.

A new approach is discussed for solving dual structural control
optimization problems for high -order flexible space structures,
where reduced -order structural models are employed and minimum
mass designs are sought. For a given initial structural design, a
quadratic control cost is minimized subject to a constant-mass
constraint. The sensitivity of the optimal control cost with respect
to the structural design variables is then determined and used to
obtain successive structural redesigns, using a constrained gradient
optimization algorithm . This process is repeated until the
constrained control cost sensitivity becomes negligible . The
minimum mass design is obtained by solving a sequence of
neighboring optimal constant mass designs, where the sequence
of optimal performance indices has a minimum at the optimal
minimum mass design. A numerical example is presented which
demonstrates that this new approach effectively addresses the
problem of dual optimization for potentially very high -order

Optimizing an elastic system and its active control is discussed.
Maneuvers from an initial state to a final state in a finite time
interval are considered . An active generalized control force that
accomplishes the desired maneuver of a prespecified system is
optimal if it minimizes a given quadratic cost function. By also
varying a set of design parameters, the elastic system can be
determined so as to further minimize the cost function. Here, the
elastic system that minimizes the actual control cost is compared
with the system that minimizes the ratio of actual cost to the cost
of optimally maneuvering a rigid system of the same inertial
properties. It is shown that an elastic system corresponding to an
extremum of the ratio is actually a characteristic of the time-limited
maneuver. Because both the spatial domain and the time interval
are fixed , a characteristic elastic system is tuned to the specified
temporal boundary conditions. The implication for rest - to - rest,
spinup, and spin reversal maneuvers of spacecraft is that the
optimal control for a characteristic elastic spacecraft is identical
to the optimal control for the same spacecraft as if it were rigid .

A formulation is presented for the coupled optimal design of a
structural system and its control by defining a composite objective
function as a linear combination of two components: a structural
objective and a control objective. For the case when the structural
objective is a function of the structural design variables only, and
when the control objective is represented by the quadratic
functional of the response and control energy, one can analytically
express the optimal control in terms of any set of admissible
structural design variables. The expression for the optimal control
is used recursively in an iterative Newton -Raphson search scheme,
the goal of which is to determine a corresponding optimal set of

An unconventional method for control of flexible space
structures using feedback control of certain elements of the
stiffness matrix is discussed . The advantage of using this method
of configuration control is that it can be accomplished in practical
structures by changing the initial stress state in the structure. The
initial stress state can be controlled hydraulically or by cables.
The method leads, however, to nonlinear control equations. In
particular, a long slender truss structure under cable induced initial
compression is examined. both analytical and numerical analyses
are presented. Nonlinear analysis using center manifold theory
and normal form theory is used to determine criteria on the
nonlinear control for stable or unstable operation . The
analysis is made possible by the use of the exact computer algebra
system MACSYMA. R.J.F.

It has been demonstrated that a high frequency excitation (HFE)
field significantly changes the fundamental properties of mechanical
systems. The most important contribution of HFE is the stiffening
effect of an elastic continuum in the direction of the wave vector.
This effect allows control of stiffness in any selected direction by
the corresponding changes in the intensity of HFE. This new
approach can be effective for large flexible space structures. Such
an approach may prove to be very practical in the sense that
large structures need to be made as flimsy as possible for low
cost under ordinary situations. However, for certain operations such
as development, orbital transfer, docking , and other circumstances,
it would be vital to have a means of temporarily stiffening certain
structural members. If the structure was designed to meet these
occasional loads without temporary stiffening, it would be
considerably more massive and more expensive. R.J.F.

A simple yet effective method is presented for the on-line
vibration control of nonlinear distributed parameter systems, with
constant or time-varying properties, responding to a wide class of
dynamic environments. The control procedure uses pulse
generators located at selected positions throughout a given system .
The degree of system oscillation near each controller determines
the controller's activation time and pulse amplitude. The direct
method of Liapunov is used to establish that the response of the
controlled nonlinear system is Lagrange stable . Analytical and

The latest trends and theoretical developments involved with
the modeling and control of Large Flexible Space Structures (LFSS)
are described . The paper addresses first the basic problems,
characteristics, and difficulties inherent in modeling and control of
LFSS. Major sources of difficulties and errors are the stiffness
and damping operators of the dynamic model. Extensions of Linear
Quadratic Gaussian ( LQG) theory as applied to LFSS are presented ,
including frequency - shaped cost functionals and perturbation
methods. The minimum data /maximum entropy approach which
uses a stochastic design model to overcome difficulties found in
the LQG -based methods is described. Latest trends in system
theory including balanced realization and singular-value analysis
are used to determine reduced order controllers and models. Ad
hoc methods such as component cost analysis and modal cost
analysis are discussed in context with the closed -loop reduction
problem of controller order versus performance. The minimum
data/ maximum entropy approach also addresses controller order
versus performance. Those areas of control science and large
scale systems that appear to have an important role in
understanding and solving LFSS modeling and control are also

Requirements indicate the need for much larger, more accurate,
and in some cases, very dynamic satellites. Large control system
bandwidths are needed to meet accuracy and response
requirements while maintaining tight control over appendage
oscillations. Studies in recent years have shown that linear
quadratic Gaussian (LQG) controllers can achieve the desired
performance if the system is linearized and if the system model is
accurate. Results of an LQG controller applied to a single axis
satellite with large solar arrays, are given. A reduced order model
(ROM ) comprises rigid body motion with dominant structural modes.
Optimal control and estimation gains are calculated based on an
extremely conservative 0.0005 critical damping ratio. In order to
examine stability characteristics, single-input single -output (SISO)

frequency response concepts are generalized to develop a method
of displaying open loop frequency response of multi-input

Numerous spacecraft missions currently being formulated exhibit
several basic and sharply conflicting features: selected components
(e.g. , an optical train ) of inherently flexible structures are to maintain
precision pointing performance in a wideband disturbance
environment. Within the overall process of synthesizing an active
controller to deal with this difficult problem , the aspects of
reduced - order modelling and of actuator and sensor selection are
crucial to the successful implementation of any controller feedback
strategy. The principal focus in this paper is on the influence of
actuator and sensor selection upon the effectiveness of a specified
controller strategy for wideband disturbance accommodation. A
genetic optical support structure is used for a number of design
examples. Active transducer selections are made systematically
based upon their direct contributuion to optical pointing error.
Controller designs incorporating the various transducer selections
exhibit stability in the presence of unmodeled modes over a
frequency range substantially beyond the bandwidth of the
disturbance. Author

An overview of some studies which have recently been carried
out on the control of third generation spcecraft, as modelled by
the MSAT space vehicle configuration , is made. This spacecraft
is highly nonsymmetrical and has appendages which cannot in
general be assumed to be rigid. In particular, it is desired to design
a controller for MSAT which stabilizes the system and satisfies
certain attitude control , shape control , and possibly stationkeeping
requirements; in addition, it is desired that the resultant controller
should be robust and avoid any undesirable spill over effects. In
addition , the controller obtained should have minimum complexity.
The method of solution adopted to solve this class of problems is
to formulate the problem as a robust servomechanism problem ,
and thence to obtain existence conditions and a controller
characterization to solve the problem . The final controller obtained

The problem of designing a linear controller for systems subject
to inequality variance constraints is considered. A quadratic penalty
function approach is used to yield a linear controller. Both the
weights in the quadratic penalty function and the locations of
sensors and actuators are selected by successive approximations
to obtain an optimal design which satisfies the input/ output variance
constraints. The method is applied to NASA's 64 meter
Hoop -Column Space Antenna for satellite communications . In
addition the solution for the control law, the main feature of these
results is the systematic determination of actuator design

Robustness properties are investigated for two types of
controllers for large flexible space structures, which use collocated
sensors and actuators. The first type is an attitude controller which
uses negative definite feedback of measured attitude and rate,
while the second type is a damping enhancement controller which
uses only velocity (rate) feedback. It is proved that collocated
attitude controllers preserve closed loop global asymptotic stability
when linear actuator/ sensor dynamics satisfying certain phase
conditions are present, or monotonic increasing nonlinearities are
present. For velocity feedback controllers, the global asymptotic
stability is proved under much weaker conditions. In particular,
they have 90 phase margin and can tolerate nonlinearities
belonging to the (0,infinity) sector in the actuator/ sensor
characteristics. The results significantly enhance the viability of
both types of collocated controllers, especially when the available
information about the large space structure (LSS) parameters is
inadequate or inaccurate. Author

A real time adaptive controller was designed and tested
successfully on a fourth order laboratory dynamic system which
features very low structural damping and a noncolocated actuator
sensor pair. The controller, implemented in a digital minicomputer,
consists of a state estimator, a set of state feedback gains, and
a frequency locked loop (FLL) for real time parameter identification.
The FLL can detect the closed loop natural frequency of the
system being controlled, calculate the mismatch between a plant it
parameter and its counterpart in the state estimator, and correct
the estimator parameter in real time. The adaptation algorithm
can correct the controller error and stabilize the system for more
than 50% variation in the plant natural frequency, compared with
a 10 % stability margin in frequency variation for a fixed gain
controller having the same performance at the nominal plant
condition . After it has locked to the correct plant frequency, the
adaptive controller works as well as the fixed gain controller does
when there is no parameter mismatch. The very rapid convergence
of this adaptive system is demonstrated experimentally, and can
also be proven with simple root locus methods. Author

In a previous paper Schaechter proposes using an extended
Kalman filter to estimate adaptively the (slowly varying) frequencies
and damping ratios of a large space structure. The time varying
gains for estimating the frequencies and damping ratios can be
determined in closed form so it is not necessary to integrate the
matrix Riccati equations. After certain approximations, the time
varying adaptive gain can be written as the product of a constant
matrix times a matrix derived from the components of the estimated
state vector. This is an important savings of computer resources
and allows the adaptive filter to be implemented with approximately
the same effort as the nonadaptive filter. The success of this
new approach for adaptive filtering was demonstrated using
synthetic data from a two mode system. Author

An approach for state estimation and identification of spatially
distributed parameters embedded in static distributed (elliptic)
system models is advanced. The method of maximum likelihood
is used to find parameter values that maximize a likelihood
functional for the system model, or equivalently, that minimize the
negative logarithm of this functional. To find the minimum , a
Newton -Raphson search is conducted that from an initial estimate
generates a convergent sequence of parameter estimates. For
simplicity, a Gauss -Markov approach is used to approximate the
Hessian in terms of products of first derivatives. The gradient and
approximate Hessian are computed by first arranging the negative
log likelihood functional into a form based on the square root
factorization of the predicted covariance of the measurement
process. The resulting data processing approach , referred to here
by the new term of predicted data covariance square root filtering,
makes the gradient and approximate Hessian calculations very
simple. A closely related set of state estimates is also produced
by the maximum likelihood method : smoothed estimates that are
optimal in a conditional mean sense and filtered estimates that
emerge from the predicted data covariance square root filter.

Many important issues in the control of large space structures
are intimately related to the fundamental problem of parameter
identification . One might also ask how well this identification
process can be carried out in the presence of noisy data since
no sensor system is perfect. With these considerations in mind
the algorithms herein are designed to treat both the case of
uncertainties in the modeling and uncertainties in the data . The
analytical aspects of maximum likelihood identification are
considered in some detail in another paper. The questions relevant
to the implementation of these schemes are dealt with, particularly
as they apply to models of large space structures. The emphasis
is on the influence of the infinite dimensional character of the
problem on finite dimensional implementations of the algorithms.
Those areas of current and future analysis are highlighted which
indicate the interplay between error analysis and possible
truncations of the state and parameter spaces. Author

Dynamic equations of motion are developed which describe
the rotational motion for a large space structure having rotating
appendages. The presence of the appendages produce torque
coupling terms which are dependent on the inertia properties of
the appendages and the rotational rates for both the space

Progress in tethered satellite system dynamics research is
reported. A retrieval rate control law with no angular feedback to
investigate the system's dynamic response was studied . The initial
conditions for the computer code which simulates the satellite's
rotational dynamics were extended to a generic orbit. The model
of the satellite thrusters was modified to simulate a pulsed thrust,
by making the SKYHOOK integrator suitable for dealing with delta
functions without loosing computational efficiency. Tether breaks
were simulated with the high resolution computer code SLACK3.
Shuttle's maneuvers were tested. The electric potential around a
severed conductive tether with insulator, in the case of a tether

breakage at 20 km from the Shuttle, was computed. The
electrodynamic hazards due to the breakage of the TSS

Certain unique features of a recently constructed plane-polar
near-field measurement facility for determining the far-field patterns
of large and fragile spaceborne antennas are described. In this
facility, the horizontally positioned antenna rotates about its axis
while the measuring probe is advanced incrementally in a fixed
radial direction. The near-field measured data is then processed
using a Jacobi- Bessel expansion to obtain the antenna far fields.
A summary of the measurement and computational steps is given.
Comparisons between the outdoor far-field measurements and the
constructed far-field patterns from the near-field measured data
are provided for different antenna sizes and frequencies.
Application of the substitution method for the absolute gain
measurement is discussed. In particular, results are shown for the

In connection with existing theoretical concepts, it was difficult
to explain the negative potentials found in sunlight, first on Applied
Technology Satellite-5 (ATS-5) and then on ATS-6. The problem
became important when an association between spacecraft
charging and anomalies in spacecraft behavior was observed. A
study of daylight charging phenomena on ATS-6 was conducted,
and an investigation was performed with the objective to determine
effective methods of charge control , taking into account the
feasibility to utilize the ATS-5 and ATS-6 ion engines as current
sources. In the present paper, data and analysis for the ion engine
experiments on ATS-5 and ATS-6 are presented. It is shown that
electron emission from a satellite with insulating surfaces is not
an effective method of charge control because the increase in
differential charging which results limits the effectiveness of
electron emitters and increases the possibility of electrostatic
discharges between surfaces at different potentials. G.R.

The effectiveness of a decentralized terrestrial solar-power

solar-power-satellite /microwave- transmission generation system is
analyzed comparatively for the case of the Federal Republic of
Germany (FRG). The models considered are a 5 -GW -peak -capacity
network comprising one million 50 -sq - m roof arrays of Si solar
cells and the 5 -GW -capacity 52 - sq -km - array 100 -sq -km -receiver
reference satellite system proposed by the DOE and NASA; both
models are assumed to be integrated into the present FRG power
network, and the load requirements and system outputs are
compared in a series of graphs and diagrams. The terrestrial system
is found to provide no savings in grid -capacity or plant-capacity
requirements and minimal fuel savings (at least in the FRG climate)
corresponding to at most 5 Pfennig /kWh. The satellite system ,
assuming that a European grid can provide an emergency reserve,
offers substantial fuel and plant-capacity savings corresponding to
about 8.75 Pfennig /kWh. It is pointed out that the overall economy
of these systems depends on the investment costs of installing
them (plus the investment cost of additional conventional plant
capacity for the terrestrial model). T.K.

The differential energy spectra of electrons between 1 and
100 eV were measured by an electron spectrometer flown on an
early shuttle . This energy range was scanned in 64 incremental
steps with a resolution of 7 % . The most striking feature that was
observed throughout these spectra was a relatively flat distribution
of the higher energy electrons out to 100 eV. This is in contrast
to normal ambient spectra which consistently show a rapid decline
in quantitative flux beyond 50 to 55 eV. The lower energy ( 1 to 2
eV) end of these spectra showed steep thermal trails comparable
to normal ambient spectral structure . In general , daytime fluxes
were significantly higher than those obtained during nighttime
measurements. Quantitative flux excursions which may possibly
be associated with thruster firing were frequently observed. Spectral
structure suggestive of the N2 vibrational excitation energy loss
mechanism was also seen in the data from some measurement
periods . Examples of these spectra are shown and possible

The effects involved in the interaction between an obstacle
and a space plasma can be divided into: ( 1 ) effects on the obstacle
itselt (i.e. , its charging ); and (2) effects on the environmental plasma
due to the motion of the obstacle (i.e. , the creation of shocks
ahead of the obstacle and complicated wakes behind the obstacle).
In the wake (or antisolar direction) , plasma oscillations are excited
and instabilities, wave -particle interactions, turbulence, etc., are
believed to take place. The effects on the obstacle and on the
environmental space plasma are coupled . Hence, simultaneous
solutions to the Vlasov (or Boltzmann ) and Poisson equations are
sought. To obtain realistic solutions of practical use ,
three -dimensional and time-dependent models of the interaction
are needed . Achieving the latter is indeed not simple. G.L.C.

Questionsare addressed concerning how large space structures
in polar orbit will interact with auroral environments . Because
spacecraft charging at ionospheric attitudes does not seriously
threaten the operation of today's relatively small polar satellites
the subject of environment interactions has not received the
widespread attention given to it at geostationary altitude. As a
matter of economics it is desirable to apply as much as possible
of what was learned about spacecraft interactions at geostationary
orbit to low Earth orbits. The environment at auroral latitudes in
the ionosphere differs from that encountered at geostationary
altitude in at least two major aspects. ( 1 ) There is a large reservoir
of high -density, cold plasma which tends to mitigate charging
effects by providing a large source of charged particles from which
neutralizing currents maybe drawn. Significant wake effects behind
large structures will introduce new problems with differential
charging . (2) Between the magnetic equator and the ionosphere,
auroral electrons frequently undergo field -aligned accelerations of
several kilovolts. In such environments, fluxes of energetic protons
are usually below the levels of instrumentation sensitivity. G.L.C.

Spacecraft charging has been widely observed in
geosynchronous orbit on the ATS-5 and ATS-6 pair and on the
SCATHA spacecraft. An adequate theory for explaining the
observations exist. Neither the data or theory can be exported to
low polar orbit and its drastically different environment. Evidence
of charging on the DMSP F6 spacecraft is presented. A simple
model is set up explaining the observations. Two independent
instruments on the spacecraft showed charging to a moderate
(44 volts) negative potential. The selection spectrometer showed
a flux of 2 billion electrons per sq. cm. sec. ster. peaked at 9.5
keV. This was marginally sufficient to overcome the flux of cold
ambient ions. Charging calculations are presented showing where
simplications are justified and where serious uncertainties exist.
More serious charging is predicted for the Shuttle in polar orbit.

The precipitation electrons in the auroral environment are highly
variable in their energy and intensity in both space and time. As
such they are a source of potential hazard to the operation of the
Space Shuttle and other large spacecraft operating in polar orbit.
In order to assess these hazards both the average and extreme
states of the precipitating electrons must be determined. Work
aimed at such a specification is presented. First results of a global
study of the average characteristics are presented. In this study
the high latitude region was divided into spatial elements in
magnetic local time and corrected geomagnetic latitude . The
average electron spectrum was then determined in each spatial
element for seven different levels of activity as measured by K

Small currents associated with satellite spin, dielectric
conduction , or trace concentrations of H + , can have a substantial
effect on the potential of a satellite and the particle currents
reaching its surface . The importance of such small currents at
altitudes below about 300 km stems from the extremely small 0+
currents impinging on the wake - side of the spacecraft. The particle
current on the downstream side of the AE-C satellite is considered.
Theoretical estimates based on a newly described constant of
the motion of a particle indicate that accounting for small
concentrations of H + remove a major discrepancy between

The charged particles environment in polar orbit can be of
sufficient intensity to cause spacecraft charging. In order to gain
a quantitative understanding of such effects, the Air Force is
developing POLAR , a computer code which simulates in three
dimensions the electrical interaction of large space vehicles with
the polar ionospheric plasma. It models the physical processes of
wake generation , ambient ion collection , precipitating auroral
electron fluxes , and surface interactions, including secondary
electron generation and backscattering, which lead to vehicle
charging. These processes may be followed dynamically on a
subsecond timescale so that the rapid passage through intense
auroral arcs can be simulated. POLAR models the ambient plasma
as isotropic Maxwellian electrons and ions (0+ , H + ), and allows
for simultaneous precipitation of power-law , energetic Maxwellian,
and accelerated Gaussian distributions of electrons. Magnetic field
effects will be modeled in POLAR but are currently ignored .

A survey of DMSP data has uncovered several cases where
precipitating auroral electron fluxes are both sufficiently intense
and energetic to charge spacecraft materials such as teflon to
very large potentials in the absence of ambient ion currents .
Analytical bounds are provided which show that these measured
environments can cause surface potentials in excess of several
hundred volts to develop on objects in the orbiter wake for particular
vehicle orientations. G.L.C.

Highlights of earlier results using the Inside -Out WAKE code
on wake structures of LEO spacecraft are reviewed. For conducting
bodies of radius large compared with the Debye length , a high
Mach number wake develops a negative potential well .
Quasineutrality is violated in the very near wake region , and the
wake is relatively empty for a distance downstream of about one
half of a Mach number of radii. There is also a suggestion of a
core of high density along the axis. A comparison of rigorous
numerical solutions with in situ wake data from the AE - C satellite
suggests that the so called neutral approximation for ions (straight
line trajectories , independent of fields) may be a reasonable
approximation except near the center of the near wake . This
approximation is adopted for very large bodies. Work concerned
with the wake point potential of very large nonconducting bodies
such as the shuttle orbiter is described . Using a cylindrical model
for bodies of this size or larger in LEO (body radius up to 10 to
the 5th power Debye lengths), approximate solutions are presented
based on the neutral approximation (but with rigorous trajectory
calculations for surface current balance). There is a negative
potential well if the body is conducting, and no well if the body is
nonconducting. In the latter case the wake surface itself becomes
highly negative. The wake point potential is governed by the ion
drift energy . M.G.

An analytical model of the charging of a spacecraft emitting
electron and ion beams has been applied to the case of large
spacecraft. In this model, ionization occurs in the sheath due to
the return current. Charge neutralization of spherical space charge
flow is examined by solving analytical equations numerically.
Parametric studies of potentiallarge spacecraft are performed. As
in the case of small spacecraft, the ions created in the sheath by

There is a growing tendency to plan space missions that will
incorporate very large space power systems. These space power
systems must function in the space plasma environment, which
can impose operational limitations. As the power output increases,
the operating voltage also must increase and this voltage, exposed
at solar array interconnects, interacts with the local plasma. The
implications of such interactions are considered . The available
laboratory data for biased array segment tests are reviewed to
demonstrate the basic interactions considered . data set for a
floating high voltage array test was used to generate approximate
relationships for positive and negative current collection from
plasmas. These relationships were applied to a hypothetical 100
kW power system operating in a 400 km, near equatorial orbit. It
was found that discharges from the negative regions of the array
are the most probable limiting factor in array operation. Author

in low Earth orbit, the geomagnetic field B (vector) is strong
enough that secondary electrons emitted from spacecraft surfaces
have an average gyroradius much smaller than typical dimensions
of large spacecraft. This implies that escape of secondaries will
be strongly inhibited on surfaces which are nearly parallel to
B (vector), even if a repelling electric field exists outside them.
This effect is likely to make an important contribution to the current
balance and hence the equilibrium potential of such surfaces,
making high voltage charging of them more likely. Numerically
calculated escaping secondary electron fluxes are presented for
these conditions . For use in numerical spacecraft charging
simulations, an analytic curve fit to these results is given which is
accurate to within 3 % of the emitted current. M.G.

Spacecraft of the future will be larger and have higher power
requirements than any flown to date. For several reasons, it is
desirable to operate a high power system at high voltage. While
the optimal voltages for many future missions are in the range
500 to 5000 volts, the highest voltage yet flown is approximately
100 volts. The NASCAP / LEO code is being developed to embody

Proposals are now being developed for the construction of
high - power photovoltaic systems for operation in low Earth orbit,
where the plasma number density is about 1,000 to 1,000,000
per cubic cm. Existing data indicate that interactions between the
plasma and high -voltage surfaces of an orbiting power system will
occur. In ground tests, where the applied voltage is increased
negatively from ground, the array current collection shows an
approximately linear rise until it terminates in arcing at greater
than several hundred volts negative. This arcing may reduce the
power generation efficiency and could possibly affect the low- level
logic circuits of the spacecraft. Therefore it is important that the
arcing phenomenon be well understood. This study is a survey of
the behavior of different dielectric -conductor samples, including a
solar cell module, that were biased negatively in a low -density
plasma environment with the intent of defining art discharge
conditions and characteristics. Procedures and results are

The charging behavior of a negatively biased solar cell array
when subjected to a charged particle environment is studied in
the ion density range from 200 to 12,000 ions / sq cm with the
applied bias range of -500 to -1400 V. The profile of the surface
potentials across the array is related to the presence of discharges.
At the low end of the ion density range the solar cell cover slides
charge to from 0 to +5 volts independent of the applied voltage.
No discharges are seen at bias voltages as large as -1400 V. At
the higher ion densities the cover slide potential begins to fluctuate,
and becomes significantly negative . Under these conditions
discharges can occur. The threshold bias voltage for discharges
decreases with increasing ion density. A condition for discharges
emerging from the experimental observations is that the average
coverslide potential must be more negative than -4 V. The
observations presented suggest that the plasma potential near
the array becomes negative before a discharge occurs . This
suggests that discharges are driven by an instability in the
plasma. Author

With the development and use of charged particle sources for
controlling spacecraft potentials there is a need to better
understand the effects of these systems on spacecraft operations.
The emission of charged particles perturbs the spacecraft
environment and signals are generated which may interfere with
other vehicle functions. In particular, the generated signals are
apt to interfere with detectors for observing waves that exist
naturally in the space environment. Examples of type of
interference are presented from the SCATHA satellite during a
period when the vehicle was highly charged . A plasma source on
board the spacecraft succeeded in discharging the vehicle with
each of four different operating modes . The VLF broadband receiver
on SCATHA detected interference over the entire 0-5 kHz range
of both the electric and magnetic field detectors during these
charged particle emissions. This frequency range includes the 2
kHz electron gyrofrequency but is below the 9 kHz electron plasma
frequency . The observations suggest that interference occurs
through introduction of anomalous signals , and through suppression
of background field measurements . Author

March 17, 1978. Data from the electron spectrometer experiment
show that there was a potential barrier of -10 to -20 V about the

turning back emitted photoelectrons to the spacecraft. The stringent

Contiguous multiple beams are used to make use of the set
of frequency bands at different beams at different geographical
locations and achieve the most efficient use of precious frequency
allocation . This is feasible only if the interference among cochannel
beams is below some acceptable level, by carrier /interference
(C/ I) ratio. Individual beam patterns of very low sidelobes, which
in turn necessitates narrow feed are required. A physically realizable
solution to this problem entails either more than one reflector,
more complicated optics, or breaking of each feed into a cluster
of smaller elements, some of which would then be shared by
adjacent beams. The latter, however, requires a complicated
beamforming network (BFN) for the proper feeding of the elements.
The feedpacking problem is not unique to reflector antennas and
exists in lens type antennas as well. The BFN and associated
61
06 ELECTRONICS
problems are present in the phased array antennas and on a
much larger scale . Poor scan capabilities are associated with
reflector systems. The scan properties of offset ted reflector
systems can be improved by choosing a very large focal length
to parent reflector diameter ((F/ Dp) ratio, which requires a longer
boom to support the feed. In the case of reflectors with cluster
feed arrangements, the scan capability for smaller F/ Dp ratios is
improved by proper adjustment of cluster element excitations. Such
a system seems to be appropriate for up to 10 beamwidths scan .
For a larger number of beams, systems with wider scan capabilities,
such as phased arrays or phased array/ reflector combinations,
become more appealing. E.A.K.

Space application of microprocessor based distributed
processing systems set up for ground or airborne utilization was
assessed for a manned space station and a large unmanned
platform . The survey suggests that the transposition of ground
based or airborne solutions to space applications is a technological
62
challenge mainly with respect to space radiation hardening.
However, promising trends towards compactness, performance,
and reliability are noted. The selection of a qualification method
for VLSI components is undecided . Commonality between space
and ground computer systems seems achievable in the medium
term for manned missions. Spacecraft performance, operational 1
flexibility, and user convenience can be enhanced, at affordable
cost, through increased spacecraft automation and autonomy. Many
instances of autonomy, intelligence, and stringent requirements
can be found in current ground process control applications. Critical
reliability and availability requirements are met by specific airborne
distributed computer systems implementations. Author ( ESA)

An analytical tool was developed to model , analyze and predict
RF performance of box truss antennas with reflective mesh
surfaces. The analysis system is unique in that it integrates custom
written programs for cord tied mesh surfaces, thereby drastically
reducing the cost of analysis. The analysis system is capable of
determining the RF performance of antennas under any type of
manufacturing or operating environment by integrating together 2
the various disciplines of design, finite element analysis, surface
best fit analysis and RF analysis. The Integrated Mesh Analysis
System consists of six separate programs: The Mesh Tie System
Model Generator, The Loadcase Generator, The Model Optimizer,
The Model Solver, The Surface Topography Solver and The RF
Performance Solver. Additionally, a study using the mesh analysis
system was performed to determine the effect of on orbit

Structural flexibility in future spacecraft will be significant
because of stringent system performance requirements, severe
disturbance environments , and size, in view of basic structural
and materials limitations. Designers of these advanced spacecraft
will have many technical options available to them in the general
areas of materials design, structural configuration design , and
control system design . The relative merits of different materials in
terms of the requirements they generate for a structural control
system are examined using a model of a representative antenna
spacecraft. Although the technical challenges of flexible spacecraft
are here to stay, spacecraft structures made from metal matrix
composites can alleviate the severity of the controls challenge.

The effect of degradation of material properties on structural
frequencies and mode shapes of Large Space Structures (LSS) is
investigated. The difficulty and cost of maintenance of LSS make
it a necessity to design these structures to operate with a certain
amount of load-induced damage . This damage is commonly
observed in fibrous composite media. Sensitivity studies conducted
on representative space truss structures indicate that degradation
of material properties may have a significant effect on the structural
mode shapes and frequencies. For even small amounts of reduction
in stiffness ( 10 percent), frequencies and nodal locations may
change significnatly. It is clear that these effects must be taken
into consideration when designing control systems for LSSs.

The results of a Monte Carlo computer analysis of the long
term effects of space radiation on the surfaces of giant orbiting
mirrors are presented . The mirrors, thin surfaced and made of
substances like, e.g. , Mylar and Hostephan, which are polymers,
would reflect solar radiation to earth and be of a size equivalent
to that of the area they would illumine. Possible applications are
the warming of cities, melting of icebergs in shipping lanes and
the illumination of solar power plants. Attention was focused on
the changes produced in the reflective surface by solar wind particle
bombardment. It was found that an Al covering at least 0.1 mm
thick would be needed for protection. Nevertheless, the surface
would be destroyed by blistering and foil carbonization within 10
yr and would then require replacement. M.S.K.

The possibility of large potentials in the polar ionosphere is
considered along with the wake effect, and the electron collection

basis for an investigation regarding the charging of a solar sail in
earth orbit. This investigation is related to an experiment with a
solar sail spacecraft which is being designed and built for launch
into earth orbit in the near future. The general objective of the
experiment is to evaluate solar sailing technology and to gain

Measurements have been made of the effects of a simulated
synchronous attitude radiation environment on the solar
absorptance of optical solar reflectors (OSR) contaminated with
solid propellant volatile condensible material (VCM). Samples were
simultaneously irradiated with 30 keV protons, 40 keV electrons
and one equivalent sun ultraviolet (UV) radiation (200-400 nm) for
a total of 245 hours in a 1 x 10 to the -7th torr vacuum. A flux of
5 x 10 to the 9th particles /sq cm -sec of both electrons and protons
produced a total fluence of 5 x 10 to the 15th particles / sq cm of
each type of particle by the end of the 245 hour test period . In a
separate test, OSR samples contaminated with identical propellant
VCM deposits were exposed to a UV-only environment for 245
hours . The results from the two tests showed a larger increase in
solar absorptance with combined radiation (protons, electrons and
UV) than with UV radiation alone. Author

Recent Shuttle flights indicate that many surface protective
materials commonly employed in aerospace systems are
particularly affected by degradaation due to the atomic oxygen
environment of the low earth orbit (LEO) . Such materials include
Kapton, Mylar, Kevlar, and polyurethane. It appears that surface
oxidation can be produced by atoms impinging on a surface with
velocities close to 8 km/s. The degradation involves changes in
material weight (loss), surface morphology, strength, and
thermal/ optical properties. An investigation was conducted with
the aim to obtain a better understanding of the processes leading
to the degradation. Laboratory studies involving a simulation of
conditions found in LEO were conducted along with a flight
experiment. The obtained results confirm the existence of two
mechanisms of degradation in LEO. The mechanisms are related
to a fast surface oxidation and a slower, diffusion limited bulk
oxidation. G.R.

This paper presents a comparison of the EMI / EMC shielding
effectiveness between a full-scale graphite / epoxy satellite structure
and an aluminum satellite structure. The comparison, made over
a frequency range of 14 kHz to 18 GHz, is based on a series of
tests that involved electrical bonding resistance, seam leakage at
radio frequencies, ' H ' field, ' E ' field, and plane wave measurements.
The test program , which was conducted at Genisco, included six
18 - inch test panels representing graphite / epoxy and aluminum
spacecraft structure elements, the Advanced Composite Equipment
Support Module / Global Positioning System (ACESM / GPS) Block
1 , and the GPS Block | Development Test Vehicle (DTV ). Both
the two- and three-antenna test setup techniques were utilized to
64
establish the spacecrafts' shielding effectiveness. The results of
the test series show that at least 20 dB of shielding is inherent in
the graphite /epoxy structure, and about 4 dB more in the DTV
spacecraft. This inherent attenuation is important and should be
planned into the EMC design/protection for future spacecraft
programs. Author

This paper proposes the use of a microstrip antenna as a
competitor to the linear antenna for 'Rectenna' in SPS (Solar
Power Satellite) project. The microstrip antenna features high-Q
and higher resonance-harmonics which are not integer multiples
of the dominant resonance frequency if a circular microstrip antenna
(CMSA) is chosen . This paper experimentally clarifies wide
frequency band characteristics of the CMSA. It is especially shown
that the CMSA with slits possesses an excellent higher harmonic
suppression characteristic. The CMSA with slits is used as a
receiving antenna, a higher harmonic rejection filter as an input
filter, a diode bridge using four Toshiba 1SS154 Si Schottky diodes
as a rectifier, a by -pass chip condenser as an output filter in the
rectenna. The rectenna was built as a trial and its rf -dc conversion
efficiency was measured. In the experimental results, the
conversion efficiency is not high. However, the rectenna obtained
in this paper has many unique and attractive properties - low in
profile, light in weight, compact and conformable in structure, easy
to fabricate, and easy adaptation to the photoetching technique in
fabrication . Author

Avail: NTIS HC A99/MF E03 CSCL 18H
Results are presented from a preliminary laboratory investigation
of the degradation of the widely used polyimide Kapton under
oxygen ion bombardment. Recent space shuttle flights have shown
that Kapton and some other materials exposed to the apparent
ram flow of residual atmosphere (at orbital velocity in low Earth
orbit) lose mass and change their optical properties. It was
hypothesized that these changes are caused by chemical
interaction with atomic oxygen , aided by the 5-eV impact energy
of atmospheric oxygen atoms in the ram . The reaction rate under
O( + ) bombardment seemed to be independent of incident energy
over a wide range of energies. Although the flux of thermal ions
in this experiment was much greater than the accelerated flux,
the observed Kapton degradation was limited to the beam area
and ram flow direction . This is consistent with an activation energy
above the thermal energies but well below the beam energies.
The results reproduce well the material loss, optical changes, SEM
surface structure, and ram directionality of the samples returned
by the shuttle. These factors, along with the lack of degradation
under argon ion bombardment, are convincing evidence for ram
flow oxidation as the mechanism of degradation. B.G.

The Plasma Interaction Experiments 1 and 2 (PIX 1 and 2)
were designed as first steps toward understanding interactions
between high -voltage solar arrays and the surrounding plasma.
The PIX 2 consisted of an approximately 2000 -sq cm array divided
into four equal segments. Each of the segments could be biased
independently and the current measured separately. In addition to
the solar array segments, PIX 2 had a hot-wire -filament electron
emitter and a spherical Langmuir probe. The emitter was operated
when the array segments were biased positively bove 125 V.
Thermal electrons from the emitter aided in balancing the electron
currents collected by the array. Laboratory and flight results of
PIX 2 are presented . At high positive voltages on the solar array
segments, the flight currents were approximately an order of
magnitude larger than the ground test currents. This is attributed
to the tank walls in the laboratory interfering with the electron
currents to the array segments. From previous tests it is known
that the tank walls limit the electron currents at high voltages.
This was the first verification of the extent of the laboratory tank
effect on the plasma coupling current. M.G.

The Galileo spacecraft which will orbit Jupiter in 1988 will
encounter a very harsh environment of energetic electrons. These
electrons will have sufficient energy to penetrate the spacecraft
shielding, consequently depositing charges in the dielectric
insulating materials or ungrounded conductors. The resulting
electric field could exceed the breakdown strength of the insulating
materials, producing discharges. The transients produced from
these Internal Electrostatic Discharges (IESD) could, depending
on their relative location, be coupled to nearby cables and circuits.
These transients could change the state of logic circuits or degrade
or even damage spacecraft components, consequently disrupting
the operation of subsystems and systems of the Galileo spacecraft
during its expected mission life. An extensive testing program was
initiated for the purpose of understanding the potential threats
associated with these IESD events. Data obtained from these tests
were used to define design guidelines. Author

A special type of time-of-flight mass spectrometer triggered
from the breakdown event was developed to study the composition
of the neutral particle flux released during the electrical breakdown
of polymer films problem. Charge is fed onto a metal-backed
polymer surface by a movable smooth platinum contact. A slowly
increasing potential from a high -impedance source is applied to
the contact until breakdown occurs. The breakdown characteristics
is made similar to those produced by an electron beam charging
system operating at similar potentials. The apparatus showed that
intense instantaneous fluxes of neutral particles are released from
the sites of breakdown events. For Teflon FEP films of 50 and 75
microns thickness the material released consists almost entirely
of fluorocarbon fragments, some of them having masses greater
than 350 atomic mass units amu , while the material released from
a 50 micron Kapton film consists mainly of light hydrocarbons
with masses at or below 44 amu, with additional carbon monoxide
and carbon dioxide. The apparatus is modified to allow electron

the space environment on projected Air Force space systems.
Measurements by IMPS on a polar -orbit Shuttle flight will lead to
detailed knowledge of the interaction of the low-altitude
polar-auroral environment on materials, equipment and
technologies to be used in future large, high-power space systems.
The results from the IMPS measurements will provide direct input
to MIL-STD design guidelines and test standards that properly

A criterion of electric discharge between metal interconnections
and protective filters was tested on a solar array model. The
criterion states that there is a risk of discharge when the space
environment induces a potential difference of 500 V between
connection and filter, the connection being positive in relation to !
the filter. Tests show that the dielectric rigidity of the connector/ filteri
coupling depends on the polarity of the potential difference. In
the SPOT ( French satellite ) array discharges occur from 1000 V 1

Electrostatic charging of the ECS solar array structure was
studied in a substorm test facility. Though the structure exhibits
overall conductivity, irradiation tests show that the surface charges
locally up to -1.4 kV. The surface potentials are not hazardous.
Arc discharges are not observed. Conductivity of the material is
reduced with decreasing sample temperature, resulting in a marked
increase of the surface potential. Tests with a floating sample
show that the solar array structure including Alcore charges up to
high negative potentials corresponding to the energy of the
impinging electron beam. Author (ESA)

The impact of different solar cells on the power to mass ratio
of the solar array was investigated. A 50 micron back surface
field reflector (BSFR) cell with a 50 micron CMX coverglass has
the highest possible power to mass ratio at end of life (EOL) , 10

EOL -power to mass ratio than all BSR cells, assuming array
structure of 70 mg / sq cm or thicker ones. The hold down point
sensitivity analysis shows that cell loss near hold down points
can be minimized by using different cell dimensions. Due to the
multielement laser scribing technique, every required special cell

painted samples were compared with one of an aluminum anode
of identical dimensions. The differences between the characteristics
for aluminum and paint are used to derive resistances at a given

lon types, energy, and angular distributions of ions produced
in dust particle impact simulations of the Giotto spacecraft Halley's
comet encounter are reported, and semiempirical yield formulas
are given . Results show that dust impact is the largest contribution
to ion formation at the spacecraft surfaces during Halley encounter.
The yield of ions formed by atomic and molecular impacts is
comparably small. Due to the painted surface on the shield,
negative ions are also formed . The number of electrons produced
by dust and molecular impact together is less than expected ,
because in dust impact only a few residual electrons are liberated .
This may be compensated by a higher electron production by
molecular impacts and by light irradiation. However, the total
electron yield, though probably less than the negative ion yield, is
still large enough to govern the plasma properties due to the
large mobility of the electrons. Author (ESA)

Analysis of Space Station operations in the space debris
environment involved the conceptualization and development of a
simulation model to provide initial estimates concerning Space
Station survivability and fuel requirements. An initial review of recent
literature indicated the relative insensitivity of satellite -of- interest
collision probability calculations to modeling debris density with
varying complexity. In addition, the literature identified that the
debris population unable to be detected by current means, the
rate of unintentional explosions and inter-object collisions, and
the dynamics of these occurrences are important system
parameters on which little is known. Conceptual model elements
significantly affecting the space debris population and lending
themselves to modeling were included in the discrete-event SLAM
simulation model developed. The model simulated space debris
environment dynamics up to Space Station system maturity. Model
results indicated that at least one collision could occur within the
first 29 years of Space Station operations. The results stress the
need for greater consideration of the survivability of large, long-term
spacecraft in such an environment, and for greater ground-tracking
or on -board debris detection capabilities. GRA

The effects of electron radiation on Ultem, a polyetherimide
were studied for doses from 2 x 10 to the 9th power to 6 x 10 to
the 9th power rad. Specimens were studied for tensile property
testing and for electron paramagnetic resonance and infrared
spectroscopic measurements of molecular structure. A Faraday
cup design and a method for remote temperature measurement
were developed . The spectroscopic data show that radiation
caused dehydrogenation of methyl groups, rupture of main -chain 1
ether linkage, and opening of imide rings, all to form radicals and
indicate that the so -formed atomic hydrogen attached to phenyl
radicals, but not to phenoxyl radicals, which would have formed 1
hydroxyls. The observed decays of the radiation-generated 1
phenoxyl, gem-dimethyl, and carbonyl radicals were interpreted as
a combining of the radicals to form crosslinking. This crosslinking
is the probable cause of the major reduction in the elongation of
the tensile specimens after irradiation . Subsequent classical
solubility tests indicate that the irradiation caused massive
crosslinking. A.R.H.

Robot arms are a necessary appurtenance for space operations
such as grappling and holding satellites from another spacecraft
or from a Space Station . The operation of the arm is constrained
by the target mobility relative to the target and the arm support,
mass considerations and reaction forces. The gear configuration
at the shoulder of a manipulator arm is a function of the articulation
and the reduction ratio. The shoulder is of interest because it
receives the highest dynamic and static loading levels.
Specifications for an arm , as defined by the French CNES, include
a 500 hr vacuum lifetime, maximum speed of 0.05 rd / sec, stiffness
of 7 kNm/rd, a motor strength of 8.5 Nm, and a coupling grip of
60 Nm. Braking is achieved electromagnetically. A train of fixed
parallel axles has been selected for the transmission for reasons
of simplicity, 3-stage reduction, ease of lubrication , efficiency, and
low play tolerance. Dry lubricants are needed to eliminate pollution
risks. Designs for a test series to examine the performance of the

Energy - efficient, lightweight robot arms for space applications
have considerable structural flexibility. An approach to control of
a class of flexible robotic systems is presented . A control law is
derived which decouples the joint-angle motion from the flexible
motion and, in addition, asymptotically decomposes the elastic
dynamics into two subsystems. This allows the design of an elastic
mode stabilizer independently based on lower order models
representing structural flexibility. The closed-loop system is shown
to be globally asymptotically stable and robust to uncertaintly in
system parameters. Simulation results show that the combination
of nonlinear decoupling and elastic stabilization permits rapid,
accurate tracking of large joint angle commands with well damped
elastic response , in spite of space vehicle motion and payload
uncertainty. Author

Although Al research has been performed extensively for 15
yr, no clear definition has emerged . A scenario common to most
efforts is computer hardware which processes data from sensor
inputs, compares the data to a well-defined data (knowledge) base,
and arrives at applicable conclusions. The data can also be applied
to verifying or discarding a hypothesis. The ESTEC mathematical
division has performed a literature review and built a prototype All
system, with emphasis being laid on technologies with near-term
70
space applications. Lisp and Prolog have been selected for the e
developmental efforts. Prototype attitude and orbit control
measurement and data-handling subsystems are being prepared
for interaction with Giotto spacecraft ground control simulation to a
serve as a learning tool and to provide data for guiding the definitions
of operational systems. M.S.K.

STUDIES ON A LIGHT WEIGHT AND FLEXIBLE ROBOT E
MANIPULATOR
A. HEMAMI (Montreal, Universite, Canada) Robotics ( ISSN 1
0167-8493), vol . 1 , May 1985, p. 27-36. refs
A novel idea for design of a light weight flexible manipulator is ; )
studied. A flexible snake-like arm which can take ideally any shape
in the three dimensions will necessarily consist of many elements that
which can move with respect to each other. In order to control
the shape of such a device, each element needs an actuator and
a sensor. The weight, therefore, becomes a problem of primary
importance. This design is based on the manipulation of each
element by controlling the lengths of three strings attached to 5
each unit, and kept in tension , from a central drive unit. Each
element is of light weight and the weight of the control devices is
also taken out from the manipulator arm . The paper discusses
the applicability of this design. Author

The role of automation and robotics in support of man's activities
in space is discussed, with emphasis given to satellite servicing 2
functions on board the NASA Space Station (SS) or at remote
locations. Consideration is given to four satellite servicing mission
scenarios, including: low - earth -orbit ( LEO) servicing of satellite in
situ or on the Space Station following orbital transfer by means
of an Orbital Maneuvering Vehicle (OMV ); in situ servicing of a
free-flying coorbiting materials processing platform ;
repair/ refurbishment of Space Station payloads of substations; an
in situ servicing of geostationary satellites by means of an Orbital
Transfer Vehicle (OTV). The potential applications of three different
automation technologies are examined, including: teleoperation;
robotics; and artificial intelligence . Consideration is also given to
the potential applications of the Space Station data system in

This paper summarizes results to date of a robotics research
program at The Aerospace Corporation. There is an interest in
the development of advanced robotics control concepts for flexible
automation in both terrestrial and space applications. As a part of
the robotics research activity , an off-line robot programming
capability was developed in a computer-aided engineering facility.
The direct and inverse kinematics of the robot, spline fit trajectory
smoothing, and torque calculations for path validation are an
integral part of that capability. A dynamics-control simulation test
bed has been developed , and has been used to validate a number
of advanced robotics control techniques. Additional areas of interest
and research activity involve the use of computer vision in position
control , the use of force feedback in hybrid position / force control
schemes, and the development of an LQR for a compliant, planar
manipulator. The results of these efforts are described. Author

An approach to control system design for robot manipulators
based on the passivity theory is presented. The approach allows
application of the passivity test to the plant manipulator and the
controller individually; thus ensuring global stability of the system
when the feedback loop is closed. It is shown that a manipulator
can be made into a passive system and, therefore, one needs
only to iterate on the low order controller during the design . The
method can be extended to control design for flexible robots and
for direct sampled - data system design. Author

In this paper, a microprocessor -based controller for a six degree
of freedom manipulator arm with revolute joints is discussed. The
arm is based on a 1 / 16th size scale model of the Space Shuttle
manipulator. A sequential single joint control philosophy is followed.
Classical linear control strategies can thus be implemented on a
microcomputer for real-time path planning or path following. Intel
8086 · based systems are used to implement the controllers; an
86 / 12A 32K RAM board along with 8087 co-processor are also
employed to speed up computation. A vision system is incorporated
in the control loop for on-line pick and place tasks. Limitations of
single joint control and requirements for ulterior nonlinear control
are also discussed . Author

A conceptual design for a Mobile Remote Manipulator System
(MRMS) is presented. This concept does not require continuous
rails for mobility (only guide pins at truss hardpoints) and is very
compact, being only one bay square. The MRMS proposed is
highly maneuverable and is able to move in any direction along
the orthogonal guide pin array under complete control at all times.
The proposed concept would greatly enhance the safety and
operational capabilities of astronauts performing EVA functions
such as structural assembly, payload transport and attachment,
space station maintenance, repair or modification , and future
spacecraft construction or servicing. The MRMS drive system
conceptual design presented is a reasonably simple mechanical
device which can be designed to exhibit high reliability.
Developmentally, all components of the proposed MRMS either
exist or are considered to be completely state of the art designs
requiring minimal development, features which should enhance
reliability and minimize costs. Author

This research focuses on the development of compensators
to control the mean square surface error of a wraprib antenna.
The methodology is as follows: A model of appropriate size and
structure is developed by looking at the convergence of functional
gains for control and estimation. Then an LQG compensator is
designed using this model. Finally, the compensator is simplified
using balanced realization theory. In the conventional approach
for compensator design, there is no mechanism for ensuring that
the model is adequate for designing a compensator which will
achieve the desired level of performance. It is shown here that
both the model order and compensator order are directly related
to the closed loop performance requirements for the system .

The developments in automation and robotics have increased
the importance of applications for space based servicing using
remotely operated systems . A study on three basic remote
operating systems (teleoperation, telepresence and robotics) was
performed in two phases. In phase one, requirements development,
which consisted of one three -month task, a group of ten missions
were selected . These included the servicing of user equipment on
the station and the servicing of the station itself. In phase two,
concepts development, which consisted of three tasks, overall
system concepts were developed for the selected missions. These
! concepts, which include worksite servicing equipment, a carrier

A Space Robot Simulator Vehicle (SRSV) was constructed to
model a free-flying robot capable of doing construction,
manipulation and repair work in space. The SRSV is intended as
a test bed for development of dynamic and static control methods
for space robots. The vehicle is built around a two- foot-diameter
air-cushion vehicle that carries batteries, power supplies, gas tanks,
computer, reaction jets and radio equipment. It is fitted with one
or two two - link manipulators, which may be of many possible
designs, including flexible-link versions. Both the vehicle body and
its first arm are nearly complete. Inverse dynamic control of the
robot's manipulator has been successfully simulated using
equations generated by the dynamic simulation package SDEXACT.
In this mode, the position of the manipulator tip is controlled not
by fixing the vehicle base through thruster operation, but by
controlling the manipulator joint torques to achieve the desired tip
motion, while allowing for the free motion of the vehicle base.
One of the primary goals is to minimize use of the thrusters in
favor of intelligent control of the manipulator. Ways to reduce the
computational burden of control are described. E.A.K.

Studies of the focusing properties of umbrella -type reflectors
show that a redistribution of the field takes place towards the
edges of the focal spot. This xplains the poor efficiency when
feed radiators with a point phase center are used in such antennas.
If the reflector is configured with a shifted parabolic generatrix for
the surface, and a feed irradiation system having partial phase
enter in the form of a ring is used , the phase errors can be
compensated for to a considerable extent. Dual-reflector antennas
with an elliptical, hyperbolic or parabolic generatrix of the subdish
and a shifted parabolic axis for the large reflector have an annular
phase center; thus, the construction of a folding umbrella - type
antenna using one of these configurations will make it possible
not only to realize the advantages of these antennas, i.e.,
significantly less shading of the aperture by the feed radiating
system , reduction of the effect of the reflector on the feed radiator
and the capability of fastening the reflector directly to the feed
radiator, but also substantially to enhance its efficiency through
more precise matching of the shapes of the partial phase center
of the feed system and the focal region of the umbrella -type
reflector. B.W.

The hoop / column antenna program is directed toward the
development of a cost effective, large area, self deploying reflector
antenna system. Large surface area antenna systems are required
in future space missions involving improved land communications,
Earth resources observation, and the study of intergalactic energy
sources. The hoop / column antenna is a concept where a large
antenna system can be packaged within the Space Transportation

System (Shuttle) payload bay, launched into Earth orbit where it
is released either for deployment as an Earth observation or
communications antenna, or boosted into deep space as an
intergalactic energy probe. Various mechanisms and support
structures are described that are required to deploy the hoop,
which is used to support the antenna reflective surface, and the
column that is used to position the antenna feeds and the reflector.
It also describes a proof-of-concept model (15 meters in diameter)
that is currently being ground tested to determine the adequacy
of the deployment mechanisms. Author

A Docking Mechanism concept is described which is suitable
for use with autonomous docking systems. The central feature of
using simple cylindrical handles on one side and a type of prism
seating on the other is offered as a practical method of achieving
a standardized structural interface without freezing continued
development of the latches, either technically or commercially.
The main emphasis in docking mechanism concepts is in two
directions: (1 ) a very simple docking mechanism, involving mainly
the latch mechanism to achieve a structural link ; and (2) a
sophisticated Docking Mechanism, where the latch mechanism is
designed for nonrigid spacecraft and the achievement of very low
dynamic interactions between spacecraft during the docking
process. Author

Military space power requirements in the next ten years are 5
to 30 kW steady state. Because of limitations in the capability to
deliver satellites to orbit, size and weight of the solar array continue
to be important. The capability to operate throughout all orbital
regimes from low orbit equatorial and polar to midaltitude and in
elliptical as well as the geosynchronous orbits is needed. Each of
these orbital regimes has its own set of constraints which must
be addressed in high power solar array technology. High altitude
systems are severely weight-limited and spacecraft charging must
be considered . Low altitude orbits will encounter plasma
environments which may cause severe leakage currents especially
at higher operating voltages. Midaltitude orbits encounter severe
radiation environments as well as possible spacecraft charging.
As the voltages increase, corona effects may be manifest as a
result of outgassing environments internal to the spacecraft.

A number of options for nonnuclear propulsion and power for
world ships are investigated, after it is demonstrated that the
minimal world ship will have a mass comparable to that of an
O'Neill ( 1974) Modell III space habitat. World-ship acceleration
from a hyperbolic solar orbit using high -performance and baseline
solar sails is evaluated . A more effective form of propulsion is to
utilize a solar -electric rocket and giant-planet gravity assists to
propel the world ship on a photosphere- grazing trajectory. During
the interstellar cruise phase of the voyage, which will most likely
be longer than 1000 years, on -board power could be provided by
a perforated solar sail or a light-sail windmill. Initial world-ship
deceleration can be accomplished by electrostatic -drag techniques.
For velocities below 0.008 c, world-ship deceleration can be
accomplished using a perforated solar sail pointed toward the 3
destination star. Finally, certain aspects of world-ships demography
are considered. As an alternative to very small initial populations
or a steady-state population level maintained through the interstellar
voyage, a moderate initial population of a few thousand can be
allowed to gradually increase to the 100,000 people or so necessary
to begin development of the destination star system . Author

A miniaturized Cassegrainian concentrator (MCC) solar array
system concept is under preliminary development for the Space
Station or for other large spacecraft/ space platform mission
applications that may require power at the 100 kW level or higher.

The concept has many of the physical attributes of planar
rigid -panel solar arrays and does not require unusual deployment
or thermal management methods or auxiliaries. Furthermore, it
promises both lower initial cost and lower life cycle cost than
state- of-the -art lightweight planar flexible blanket solar arrays. The
paper briefly describes the MCC concept and presents the results
of a life cycle cost comparison analysis that shows that solar
array area (rather than weight) is the key cost parameter at the
lowest candidate Space Station basing altitudes. With smaller area
than its planar array counterpart, the MCC array offers a 20 to 30
percent reduction in life cycle cost. Author

Contaminants generated during the pulse mode operation of these
thrusters may impinge on the solar arrays . Over a ten -year
operational lifetime, the accumulated contaminant may degrade
the power output of the solar arrays. An experimental program
was conducted to determine the effect of bipropellant thruster
contaminants on a solar array. A representative contaminant was
produced in the laboratory and was applied to three mini-solar
arrays covering approximately 32, 41 , and 57 percent of the surface
area . A fourth uncontaminated mini-solar array was included to
provide a basis for comparison. Pre- and post-contamination testing
was conducted using a pulsed xenon solar simulator. A maximum

indicates that LCC is sensitive to the main propulsion system
reliability, vehicle dry weight, and propellant cost; it is relatively
insensitive to the number of missions / overhaul, failures per mission,

since 1970. During the decade of the 70's the studies emphasized
a Shuttle compatible , ground based vehicle . The topics of
man-rating and aeroassisted return from GEO were addressed in
the 1980 OTV Concept Definition Study. Based on the requirements
of these studies for an advanced engine , Pratt and Whitney
designed the advanced expander cycle engine for a high
performance OTV. Subsequently a number of issues, such as
geometric constraints, man-rating criteria and serviceability, were
raised concerning the suitability of such an engine in view of
changing requirements. Several recent studies by vehicle systems
contractors have resolved some of these issues and Pratt and
Whitney has evolved its advanced engine design to meet currently
desired operational characteristics. The paper traces this propulsion
design evolution and indicates potential future impacts to engine
design criteria. Author

A technique for predicting the magnitude and the duration of
post-burn residual thrust for an orbital transfer motor (OTM) is
developed and discussed. Three existing predictive methods, used
to arrive at the mixture properties within the motor near and
subsequent to motor burnout for which a one-dimensional thrust
calculation is made, are described . The predicted values of chamber
pressure for a spinning OTM compare favorably with pressure
measurements obtained at the Arnold engineering development
center, thus confirming that the deposited slag is the primary heat
source for the pyrolytic action and that the developed technique
is viable. M.D.

The orbits attained by kick motor solid propellant particulates
are modeled, and an estimate is made of the number of particulates
which will remain in orbit. The fuel, A1203, is burned while inserting
spacecraft into a transfer orbit and again while circularizing the
GEO station . It is shown that 23 percent of 1 micron particles
deorbit immediately, while most particles enter a retrograde orbit.
The resulting flux is an order of magnitude larger than the
micrometeoroid flux. The pressures exerted by solar radiation
ensure that only 5 percent of the original flux is still in orbit after
the first year. The estimates provided are valid for a large number
of transfer orbit operations, but will vary widely over the short
term . M.S.K.

Using reasonable near-term mission traffic models ( 1991-2000
being the assumed operational time of the system) and the most
current unclassified laser and laser thruster information available,
it was found that space -based laser propulsion orbit transfer
vehicles (OTVs) can outperform the aerobraked chemical OTV
over a 10 -year life -cycle. The conservative traffic models used
resulted in an optimum laser power of about 1 MW per laser.
This is significantly lower than the power levels considered in
other studies. Trip time was taken into account only to the extent
that the system was sized to accomplish the mission schedule.

America's space activities in the 1990s and beyond will partly
consist of missions involving the transportation of cargo from low
earth orbit (LEO) to higher orbits or to an escape trajectory. Such
missions are to be performed with the aid of an orbit transfer
vehicle (OTV ). The operation of the OTV can be based on different
propulsion concepts. A chemical OTV is characterized by a high
thrust and low specific impulse. The result is a short trip time at
the cost of large quantities of propellant. On the other hand,
low-thrust systems such as electric propulsion units, consume very
little propellant, but would have a long trip time. The present paper
is concerned with a compromise between these two extremes.
The employed propulsion system utilizes laser thermal propulsion,
in which a ground or space-based laser is used to beam energy
to a thruster on the OTV . The laser light is absorbed by a propellant.
The resulting heating of the propellant causes an expansion of
the propellant through a nozzle to produce thrust. Details regarding
this propulsion concept are discussed , taking into account
operational questions and missions. G.R.

An outline of a project METT (Microwave Energy Transmission

METT are to develop and test the technology of microwave
energy transmission for the future Solar Power Satellite (SPS),
and to estimate the environmental effects of the high power
microwaves on the ionosphere and the atmosphere . Energy
generated with solar cells is transmitted from a transmitting antenna
on the bus platform near the Space Station to a rectenna on the
sub-satellite or the ground station in order to test the total efficiency
and the functions of the development system of the energy
transmission. Plasma similar to that in the D and E layers in the
ionosphere is produced in a large balloon opened on the
sub-satellite in order to investigate possible interactions between
the SPS microwave and the ionospheric plasma and to determine
the maximum power density of the microwave beam which passes
through the ionosphere. Author

Research is being conducted to determine the effect of
environmental plasma on spacecraft systems. Power sources with
voltages greater than 100 to 200 volts begin to be affected by
plasma power loss. The plasma causes corona or arc breakdown,
which results in the generation of electromagnetic interference
(EMI), leading to problems in the operation of the spacecraft
systems. Plasma power loss is caused by the electron emission
effect, the pinhole effect, and the ram -wake effect. Since these
mechanisms are electron oriented, the LEO environment, which
has high electron density, is being closely studied. Laboratory tests
and on -board testing have resulted in designs which counter plasma
loss. Conductive coating applied to the backsides of solar arrays
and dielectric surface coating prevents arc discharges. Also the
standard procedure of grounding metallized thermal blanket layers
counters plasma power loss. I.F.

Nickel -cadmium cells of various designs, containing polymer
reinforced inorganic separators and either chemically deposited or
electrochemically deposited nickel and cadmium electrodes, have
been studied for their cycle life performance. The performance
goal of these Ni/ Cd cells is more than 10 years of cycle life at
80 percent depth of discharge operation in a geosynchronous
orbit. Three alternate cycle regimes, including one with a high
rate (0.4C) charging (HGEO regime) , were used to test the cells .
In all cycle regimes, the performance goal appears to be feasible
with selected cell designs. The cycle life, in general, was longer

to change the Shuttle's orbit and enhance satellite launching,
retrieving, and repair. A lifting body would be extended on the
tether from the Shuttle down far enough into the upper atmosphere
to create aerodynamic lift; this would cause the sail to move and
the Shuttle's orbit to change. The sail would need to be as large
as the area of the Shuttle and be lowered to 80-100 km in order
to change the orbital plane of the Shuttle by several degrees per
day. The tether could also be used to create a wind tunnel of up
to 25 times the speed of sound in which experiments could be

undesirable interactions between the high voltage solar array and
the space plasma will occur. Space experiments on high voltage

The concept of generating power in space by means of a
conducting tether deployed from a spacecraft was studied . Using
hydrogen and oxygen as the rocket propellant to overcome the
drag of such a power - generating tether would yield more benefit
than if used in a fuel cell. The mass consumption would be 25
percent less than the reactant consumption of fuel cells. Residual
hydrogen and oxygen in the external tank and in the orbiter could
be used very effectively for this purpose. Many other materials
( such as waste from life support) could be used as the propellant.
Electrical propulsion using tether generated power can compensate
for the drag of a power-generating tether, half the power going to
the useful load and the rest for electric propulsion. In addition,
the spacecraft's orbital energy is a large energy reservoir that
permits load leveling and a ratio of peak to average power equal
to 2. Critical technologies to be explored before a power- generating
tether can be used in space are delineated . Author

Construction of a Solar Power Satellite (SPS) would require

described. The DFS is three - axis stabilized , in geosynchronous
orbit. Power is supplied by two identical solar generator wings.
The power required at end of life equinox (after 10.3 yr in worst
case conditions) is 1150W. Each wing consists of three rigid panels
and a yoke which serves as a connection link to the satellite
bearing and power transfer assembly. The solar cell arrays on the
panels are identical , except that the array on the center panel of
each wing is turned around by 180 deg to fit with the unsymmetric
hold down points and to balance the magnetic moment of the
wing . Reutilization of the INTELSAT concept required a complete

As various types of perturbations tend to drive a geostationary
satellite away from its prescribed position , occasional orbit
corrections have to be carried out by means of a suitable propulsion
system . In future geostationary missions, low thrust electric
propulsion is likely to be applied for station keeping because of
considerable mass savings. In this paper a station keeping strategy
for electric propulsion systems is developed. Both the
unconstrained case and the case where thrust operation constraints
are present are considered and tested by computer simulation of

The overall objective of this research was to determine the
feasibility and the cost optimum system for using electric OTVs to
move Block 3 GPS satellites from LEO to a 10,900 nm orbit. For
the EOTV, the propulsion systems considered were present and
1990's technology ion engines using mercury , xenon or argon for
a propellant. There were two power sources evaluated, a 100 KW
nuclear reactor and solar arrays. A systems cost model which
combines payload, power source, trajectory, and earth - to -LEO
launch parameters with algorithms characterizing the electric
propulsion system was used. The goal was to find the least costly
systems which had a triptime equal to or less than 90 days. These
systems were than compared with the PAM D-II , CENTAUR -G,
and IUS in terms of total deployment costs for 28 GPS satellites
launched at a rate of four per year for seven years . The studies
found that a reusable EOTV with 12 mercury ion engines powered
by gallium arsenide concentrator arrays could perform the mission
for 42 % of the cost of the cheapest chemical system . The nuclear
powered EOTV, while less costly than the chemical systems, was
not as competitive as the solar EOTV. The weight of the nuclear
reactor and its heat radiators required the use of 37 engines
resulting in higher costs for the system. GRA

As space power levels increase to meet mission objectives
and also as the transmission istance between power source and
load increases, the mass, volume, power loss, and operating
voltage and temperature become important system design
considerations. This analysis develops the dependence of the
specific mass and percent power loss on hte power and voltage
levels, transmission distance, operating temperature and conductor
material properties. Only radiation cooling is considered since the
transmission line is assumed to operate in a space environment.
The results show that the limiting conditions for achieving low
specific mass, percent power loss, and volume for a space-type
dc transmission line are the permissible transmission voltage and
operating temperature. Other means to achieve low specific mass
include the judicious choice of conductor materials. The results of

this analysis should be immediately applicable to power system
trade-off studies including comparisons with ac transmission
systems. Author

Beginning -of-life array power was 2230 watts. Currently, the array
output is 1830 watts. This corresponds to a 16 percent loss in

An optical analysis of a parabolic solar collection system
operating in Earth orbit was performed using ray tracing techniques.
The analysis included the effects of: (1 ) solar limb darkening, (2)
parametric variation of mirror surface error, (3) parametric variation
of mirror rim angle, and (4) parametric variation of alignment and
pointing error. This ray tracing technique used numerical integration
to combine the effects of rays emanating from different parts of
the sun at different intensities with the effects of normally distributed
mirror- surface errors to compute the angular intensity distribution
of rays leaving the mirror surface . A second numerical integration
was then performed over the surface of the parabolic mirror to
compute the radial distribution of brightness at the mirror focus.
Major results of the analysis included: ( 1 ) solar energy can be
collected at high temperatures with high efficiency, (2) higher
absorber temperatures can be achieved at lower efficiencies, or
higher efficiencies can be achieved at lower temperatures, and
(3) collection efficiency is near its maximum level across a broad

An investigation being conducted by Astro Aerospace
Corporation (Astro) for Jet Propulsion Laboratory in which efficient
structures for geosynchronous spacecraft solar arrays are being
developed is discussed. Recent developments in solar blanket
technology, including the introduction of ultrathin (50 micrometer)
silicon solar cells with conversion efficiencies approaching 15
percent, have resulted in a significant increase in blanket specific
power. System specific power depends not only on blanket mass
but also on the masses of the support structure and deployment
mechanism. These masses must clearly be reduced, not only to
minimize launch weight, but also to increase array natural
frequency. The solar array system natural frequency should be
kept high in order to reduce the demands on the attitude control
system. This goal is approached by decreasing system mass, by
increasing structural stiffness, and by partitioning the blanket. As
a result of this work, a highly efficient structure for deploying a
solar array was developed. R.F.J.

A new Orbital Transfer Vehicle (OTV) propulsion system that
will be used in conjunction with the Space Shuttle, Space Station
86
and Orbit Maneuvering Vehicle is discussed. The OTV will transfer
men, large space structures and conventional payloads between
low Earth and higher energy orbits . Space probes carried by the
OTV will continue the exploration of the solar system. When lunar
bases are established, the OTV will be their transportation link to
Earth . Critical engine design considerations based upon the need
for low cost payload delivery, space basing, reusability, aeroassist
maneuvering, low g transfers of large space structures and man
rating are described. The importance of each of these to propulsion
design is addressed. Specific propulsion requirements discussed
are: ( 1 ) high performance H2/02 engine; (2) multiple engine
configurations totalling no more than 15,000 lbf thrust 15 to 20 h
life; (3) space maintainable modular design ; (4) health monitoring
capability; and (5) safety and mission success with backup auxiliary
propulsion. E.AK

Greater numbers of spacecraft and payloads are being
developed for on -orbit astronomical viewing and data acquisition.
Based on cost savings potentials, more consideration is now being
given to on -orbit servicing and associated crew operations.
Accordingly, integration of crew functions at program onset and
continuing throughout the development phases becomes essential
to aid in achieving mission success. Through cross coupling of
these crew operations and associated equipment, simulations, and
training with standard classes and families of spacecraft, substantial
cost benefits to a variety of programs can be realized . Thus, can
be established a logical and proven crew operations data and
performance base for the future. Author

COST COMPARISONS OF SOLAR POWER SATELLITES
VERSUS LUNAR BASED POWER SYSTEMS
E. M. KERWIN and G. D. ARNDT (NASA, Johnson Space Center,
Houston , TX ) Space Solar Power Review (ISSN 0191-9067),
vol. 5, no . 1 , 1985, p. 39-52. refs
A comparison is made between projected electricity costs of
an optimized space solar power station (SPS) in GEO and a
moon -based SPS (LPS). A single SPS would receive sunlight on
an almost uninterruptible basis. The LPS would be illumined 50
percent of the time, thus requiring two stations on opposite sides
of the moon as well as three terrestrial rectennas spaced 120
deg apart. The 5 percent efficient LPS cells would be manufactured
from lunar materials and built into arrays mounted on tall mounds.
The steerable GEO SPS would have 15 percent efficient cells.
Construction costs would be significantly lower on the moon , but
the total antenna area would need to be two orders of magnitude
larger to produce the same output as the SPS. It is estimated
that the LPS would therefore deliver 5 GW electricity to earth
stations at a cost of 511.3 mills/kW, compared to 46.8 mills/ kW
from the SPS. It is concluded that lunar materials are suitable for
building an SPS, not a LPS. M.S.K.

NASA/ ESA cooperative efforts are, on a political level , still
tenuous , but on a working level , nearly those of the same
organization . It is felt that companies which participated in
development of the Spacelab will also join in Space Station
endeavors. Less documentation is required on the ESA side, which
is still involved deeply with expendible boosters. ESA personnel
who worked on Spacelab at the Johnson Center, however, have
expressed concerns that the STS has too many expendable
components. The documentation levels required by NASA have
aided European managers in producing Spacelab, which has proven
sufficiently well-designed and engineered to schedule it on 10 of
he next 30 STS missions. M.S.K.

BISTATIC LIDAR EXPERIMENT PROPOSED FOR THE
SHUTTLE /TETHERED SATELLITE SYSTEM MISSIONS

research . refs
A new experiment concept has been proposed for the
Shuttle / tethered satellite system missions , which can provide
high -resolution, global density mappings of certain ionospheric
species. The technique utilizes bistatic LIDAR to take advantage
of the unique dual platform configuration offered by these missions .
A tuned , Shuttle -based laser is used to excite a column of the
atmosphere adjacent to the tethered satellite, while triangulating
photometric detectors on the satellite are employed to measure
the fluorescence from sections of the column . The fluorescent
intensity at the detectors is increased about six decades over
both ground -based and monostatic Shuttle -based LIDAR sounding
of the same region. In addition, the orbital motion of the Shuttle
provides for quasi-global mapping unattainable with ground-based
observations. Since this technique provides such vastly improved
resolution on a synoptic scale , many important middle atmospheric
studies, heretofore untenable, may soon be addressed. Author

Eureca, a free-flying space platform which is to be deployed
and retrieved by the Space Shuttle, is described . The various
problems involved in planning Eureca's ascent and descent
transfers are discussed . The in-orbit maneuvers needed to carry
out the transfers, as well as the optimal initial operating altitude
for Eureca, are studied. It is shown that the choice of altitude is
linked to the activities to be performed during the retrieval phase,
particularly with respect to the orbital node. The benefits of using
the RIT- 10 electric-propulsion system to control Eureca's orbit
during the free-flight phase are investigated. M.D.

Proceedings . Covina, CA, Society for the Advancement of Material
and Process Engineering, 1984 , p. 705-720 .
The Horizontal Axis Measurement System (HAMS) employs the
pendulum principle to measure mass, moments, and products of
inertia for large spacecraft structures; the cradle of the pendulum
on which the spacecraft is mounted had as its principal
design-requirement high stiffness with minimum mass. The HAMS
cradle has accordingly been fabricated from graphite
fiber-reinforced epoxy sandwich materials, using comparatively
88
inexpensive, pitch-based fibers and an inovative design that
minimized tooling requirements . Finite element analysis was
extensively used to optimize the structural design of the cradle
for stiffness and minimum weight. 0.C.

Space Shuttle missions are currently limited to 11 days, primarily
due to depletion of the power reactants (hydrogen and oxygen ).
A power system Mission Extension Kit (MEK ) is described which
could provide the capability to stay on orbit 10 additional days.
These extra days would benefit Space Station construction and
missions such as materials processing , earth and celestial
observation , and life science studies (Spacelab) . Other constraints
to longer missions which may dictate minor Orbiter modifications
will be discussed . The power system MEK is particularly desirable
because of its existing flight qualified hardware which can be
delivered within 3 to 4 years. Author

COLLISION PROBABILITIES AT GEOSYNCHRONOUS

A considerable collisional hazard to operational geostationary
satellites is induced by a continuously increasing population of
abandoned objects and related debris. During the past 5 years
first measures have been taken to remove geostationary spacecraft
from the geostationary altitude at the end of their operational life.
Another concern is the crowding of active satellites at some
preferred longitude positions. This paper analyzes the hazard due
to abandoned objects and the probability of a collision between
satellites maintained within the same longitudinal slot. The
operational satellites are represented by their spatial probability
density in the geostationary ring. A sample of orbit propagations
based on a first -order perturbation theory represents the
uncontrolled objects passing through the geostationary region of
space. A great number of small debris particles turns out to be
particularly dangerous to large operational satellites. Author

WANTED - GROUND SIMULATOR FOR SDI
D. A. FREIWALD and T. E. BOTTS Aerospace America (ISSN
0740-722X ), vol. 23, July 1985, p. 80, 81 .
A large space simulator ground facility sufficiently large to
support realistic tests of Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) systems
would have as its major components, beside vacuum pump and
control facilities, ( 1 ) a 200 - m space simulation tank for directed
energy and kinetic energy weapons, (2) a 1 -km 'firing range' pipe
extending from the simulation tank, and (3) a small chamber
housing a target at the end of the pipe. It is expected that non-SDI
space technologies can benefit from the existence of such test
facilities. Activities of the facility would encompass the mechanical
response of large space structures, the behavior of high voltage
hardware, and electromechanical shock effects in SDI hardware.

(ISSN 0001-9275 ), no. 111 , 1985, p. 28-34. In French.
Devices operating in space experience vacuum , thermal
extremes, and microgravity conditions, and must function with a
far greater reliability than more accessible earth -based equipment.
Design choices are thereby constrained by the necessity of
extensive ground testing, relatively large margins of safety, the
technologies available, and electromechanical considerations.
Rotating parts, in a spacecraft, move slowly , but heightened
reliability requirements specify an absence of friction. Copolymers
and acrylonitrile reserviors are included as lubricant supplies for
coating the moving parts. Molybdenum bisulfide and lead films
are under development as dry lubricants to avoid both pollution
dangers and very fine tolerance characteristics of liquid lubricant
systems. Most vital satellite components are redundant (or at least
have redundant electronic controls) because of the present
absence of on-orbit repairs. Another critical focus is sufficient
testing to identify and eliminate any chance of resonant frequencies
among the parts he spacecraft. Examples are cited of several
devices devised purely for space applications. M.S.K.

conversion efficiency of microwave energy to dc and a spurious
radiation of harmonics generated by the rectenna were theoretically
investigated. Furthermore, the rectenna was actually composed
and measured the conversion efficiency. It was shown that the
experimental results agree with the theoretical results. Author

A Space Station will involve the formation and sustained
operation of an assembly of humans and machines in space for a
period of 10-20 years. Technology and mission studies of a
permanently manned, evolutionary Space Station have identified
the need for automated and eventually some degree of autonomous
systems operation. A Space Station power system will have a
high degree of interaction with other onboard systems which will
act as power loads. By examining the evolution of an operational
power system from a systems viewpoint through increasing degrees
of automation the system and technology requirements are
identified for an evolutionary system . Author

0038-6340) , vol . 27 , Sept. -Oct. 1985, p. 348-354. refs
The Space Shuttle / Space Transportation System (STS)
provides the basis for future development toward permanent
manned Space Stations, manned access to geostationary orbit
(GEO) , deployment of large space structures, development of
closed-cycle life support systems, and the discovery of greater
industrial applications in space. Research must continue in order
to make an Orbital Transfer Vehicle (OTV ) which would provide
manned flights to GEO and the establishment of a lunar base a
reality by the year 2000. Beyond the year 2000 there should be
advanced complexes in low - earth orbit ( LEO) , permanently manned
scientific and communication stations in GEO, a permanent moon
base, manned expeditions to Mars, and a geosynchronous facility.
These goals can be achieved through international cooperation;
cooperative programs will allow for more research at a faster
pace due to joint funding. These advances could lead to
improvements in the quality of life on earth and make comfortable
space life a reality. I.F.

One key area of interest for future space missions is on -orbit
proximity operations including the docking of two spacecraft. This
paper presents four new capabilities for an experimental autopilot
which extend the range of maneuvers available in this area . The
process of docking is divided into four phases with specific
objectives and requirements. An automated maneuver sequence
for these phases is developed using the new capabilities. Results
of two simulations of this sequence as implemented in the autopilot

Eurostar has been designed jointly by British Aerospace and
Matra of Toulouse as a middle -of-the-range, long-life, versatile
platform compatible with PAM D, PAM DII and shared Ariane.
This paper describes the subsystems in detail and shows that the
highly accurate body pointing capability, payload mass capacity of
200-350 kg and end of life power of 2.5 kW enables the platform
to meet a variety of direct broadcast television and
telecommunications requirements. It points at the highly efficient
bi-propellant system , certain other novel features and the minimal
amount of ground control required, all of which add up to
considerable operational flexibility. Author

The application of tether technology has the potential to
increase the overall performance efficiency and capability of the
integrated space operations and transportation systems through
the decade of the 90s. The primary concepts for which significant
economic benefits were identified are dependent on the space
station as a storage device for angular momentum and as an
operating base for the tether system . Concepts examined include:
( 1 ) tether deorbit of shuttle from space station; (2) tethered orbit
insertion of a spacecraft from shuttle; (3) tethered platform deployed
from space station; (4) tether-effected rendezvous of an OMV
with a returning OTV ; (5) electrodynamic tether as an auxiliary

NASCAP SIMULATION OF PIX 2 EXPERIMENTS

The latest version of the NASCAP/ LEO digital computer code
used to simulate the PIX 2 experiment is discussed. NASCAP is a
finite - element code and previous versions were restricted to a
single fixed mesh size. As a consequence the resolution was
dictated by the largest physical dimension to be modeled. The
latest version of NASCAP /LEO can subdivide selected regions.
This permitted the modeling of the overall Delta launch vehicle in
the primary computational grid at a coarse resolution , with
subdivided regions at finer resolution being used to pick up the
details of the experiment module configuration . Langmuir probe
data from the flight were used to estimate the space plasma
density and temperature and the Delta ground potential relative
to the space plasma. This information is needed for input to
NASCAP. Because of the uncertainty or variability in the values of
these parameters, it was necessary to explore a range around
the nominal value in order to determine the variation in current
collection . The flight data from PIX 2 were also compared with
the results of the NASCAP simulation. R.J.F.

An extended or elongated orbital system is presented. The
concept of regular motion of an extended system is introduced
and stationary and nonstationary cases of this motion are examined.
The mass -geometrical characteristics of the system are computed.
Rules for the construction and transformation of different systems
are formulated for motion of the chain in a circular orbit with its
orientation along the radius vector. The problem of system
computation is separated into dynamic and
constructive - geometrical parts. General laws of system deployment
are established for the class of motions. Analytical formulas are
derived for evaluating system parameters in different operation
regimes. E.A.K.

This thesis determined the feasibility of implementing Artificial
Intelligence techniques on orbiting spacecraft. The main thrust
was to evaluate the current technology of expert systems ( computer
programs) and determine their value to satellite tasking. The goal
for an expert system to be effective was that it must be able to
perform spacecraft stationkeeping without ground assistance.
Analysis began by outlining the basic functions of the DSCS III
and noting deficiencies could be corrected with conventional
computer programming, but stationkeeping required Al techniques
for proper execution. Expert systems were then examined and
studied for applicability to the primary task of orbit maintenance.
R1 , an expert system designed to perform computer configuration,
was found to be a good baseline for comparison and further
development. The process of orbit maintenance, as currently done
by human experts, was explained and outlined for expert system
design. Finally, a cost analysis provided information which
supported further development of Al technology for spacecraft
implementation . GRA

The Tethered Satellite System has great prospects for extending
orbital operations capability of the Space Transportation System
to science, applications, and technology projects not otherwise
attainable. The system will installed in the Shuttle Orbiter and will
have the capability to deploy a captive satellite up to 100 km
away from the Orbiter. Control and retrieval of the satellite are
accomplished by means of a tether line connecting the satellite
and the cargo bay mounted equipment in the Orbiter. At low satellite
altitudes, the system will permit investigations of a duration that
could not be pursued with sounding rockets of free - flying
spacecraft. The propose of the Shuttle /Tethered Satellite System
Definition Study was to produce the preliminary design, preliminary
specifications, gross program plans, and program cost estimate
for a 1982 operational verification flight. This was accomplished
during a fifteen month effort under by the NASA George C. Marshall
Space Flight Center (MSFC). The MSFC Phase 1 and related
studies demonstrated the feasibility of the system and served as
a starting point for the Phase 2 definition study. B.W.

Based on the identified and projected European mission needs
for Earth Observation , telecommunications, space processing and
scientific missions, mission requirements and in-orbit infrastructure
( 101) element function performances were established . Orbit
change , rendezvous and docking, telemanipulator operations,
automatic sample exchange, and automatic re - entry elements are
applicable for the servicing equipment of a materials processing
space platform , the orbital transfer and servicing system , and the
re - entry vehicle (REV ). Economic and technical arguments favor
manned elements (STS) for launch / servicing /payload
exchange /recovery for initial material processing missions in a
500 km/28.5 deg orbit. The introduction of Ariane 5 and REV
gives Europe an independent servicing capability with similar launch
costs but with higher reliance on automatic systems for rendezvous
docking / servicing/payload exchange /recovery. Operational
missions using Hermes, although not so economically attractive ,
provide Europe with an independent manned capacity.

This is a closed form solution for the longitudinal oscillation of
the Solar Array Flight Experiment (SAFE) blanket for all phases
of deployment. The frequency response shows that the blanket
frequency increases shortly before full deployment . That fact
causes a coupling between the mast and the blanket frequency
but, because of the relatively high speed of deployment, a buildup
of resonance is unlikely. Author

The German research and development institute of air and
space travel ( DFVLR ) recommended the construction of the
European Ariane 5 booster rocket and participation in the
construction of an American space station for the future
development of European Space travel. The DFVLR proposes that
the FRG participates in the development of serviceable platforms
with manned space station elements. The development of the
RM 60 rocket engine is recommended as part of the Ariane
program , which will give the planned Ariane 5 rocket so much
thrust that it can put a European space ferry into orbit around the
Earth . The grand scenarios for European space travel which include
an unmanned recovery system to supply space platforms,
serviceable equatorial and polar platforms, in addition to the Ariane
5 and a European space ferry (Euro - Shuttle), are twice as high in
their development costs as the other space scenarios. E.A.K.

The experimental computer control of a two - dimensional
hyperbolic system is described. The system consists of a 5 - foot
gold-coated rubber membrane mounted on a circular cylindrical
95
10 GENERAL
drum . Seven electrodes reside on a command surface located
behind the membrane inside the drum . These electrodes served
as capacitive sensors and electrostatic force actuators of
transverse membrane deflection . The membrane was modelled
as flat, isotropic and uniformly tensioned . Transverse membrane
deflections were expanded in normal modes. Controllers regulating
membrane deflection are designed using aggregation and design
procedures based upon sensor and actuator influence functions.
The resulting control laws are implemented on a minicomputer in
two sets of experiments. The experimental study confirms the
theoretically predicted behavior of the system, usefulness of the
aggregation and design procedures, and the expectation that
spillover can be made a beneficial source of damping in residual
systems. B.W.

Manned space station (MSS) mission analysis and the design

cryogenic orbital transfer vehicle (OTV ) from the MSS: fueling,
mechanical handling, integration, check-out, and flight monitoring
is discussed. Space station architecture and the establishment of
design driver criteria are considered. The study shows that even
where European technologies are comparable to American ones,
cooperation must be limited to European firms acting as
subcontractors to NASA or US firms, rather than at a transnational
96
European level. At the European level, development of SPT and
other teleoperated vehicles satisfies criteria for program size,
interface definition, European ability, multiplicity of participants
favoring money redistribution , and compatibility of planning
schedules. Commonality of mission with a European automatic

NASA is currently considering the establishment of a Space
Mission for Automation and Robotics Technologies (SMART)
Program to define, develop , integrate, test, and operate a
spaceborne national research facility for the validation of advanced
automation and robotics technologies. Initially, the concept is
envisioned to be implemented through a series of shuttle based
flight experiments which will utilize telepresence technologies and
real time operation concepts. However, eventually the facility will
be capable of a more autonomous role and will be supported by
either the shuttle or the space station . To ensure incorporation of
leading edge technology in the facility, performance capability will
periodically and systematically be upgraded by the solicitation of
recommendations from a user advisory group. The facility will be
managed by NASA, but will be available to all potential
investigators. Experiments for each flight will be selected by a
peer review group. Detailed definition and design is proposed to
take place during FY 86, with the first SMART flight projected for
FY 89. Author

FEDERAL DEPOSITORY LIBRARY PROGRAM

In order to provide the general public with greater access to U.S. Government publications,
Congress established the Federal Depository Library Program under the Government Printing
Office (GPO), with 50 regional depositories responsible for permanent retention of material,
inter-library loan, and reference services. At least one copy of nearly every NASA and NASA
sponsored publication, either in printed or microfiche format, is received and retained by the
50 regional depositories. A list of the regional GPO libraries, arranged alphabetically by state ,
appears on the inside back cover. These libraries are not sales outlets. A local library can
contact a Regional Depository to help locate specific reports, or direct contact may be made
by an individual.

A Heavy Lift Launch Vehicle (HLLV) designed to deliver 300,000
lb to a 540 n mi circular polar orbit may be required to meet
national needs for 1995 and beyond. The vehicle described herein
can accommodate payload envelopes up to 50 ft diameter by
200 ft in length . Design requirements include reusability for the
more expensive components such as avionics and propulsion
systems, rapid launch turnaround time, minimum hardware
inventory, stage and component flexibility and commonality, and
low operational costs. All ascent propulsion systems utilize liquid
propellants, and overall launch vehicle stack height is minimized
while maintaining a reasonable vehicle diameter. The ascent
propulsion systems are based on the development of a new liquid
oxygen /hydrocarbon booster engine and liquid oxygen / liquid
hydrogen upper stage engine derived from today's SSME
technology . Wherever possible, propulsion and avionics systems
are contained in reusable propulsion / avionics modules that are
recovered after each launch . Author

A method for determining and controlling the shape of large,
continuous space structures by means of discrete or pointwise
observations and control devices is presented. The general linear
boundary value problem satisfied by a one-dimensional shape
function is defined, and the existence of solutions is studied. The
static shape control problems for one-dimensional systems with
and without rigid body modes and the static shape estimation
problem are presented and solved. Eigenfunction expansions are
presented which provide approximations to the algorithm terms
when the associated Green's function is not known. An integral
operator approach is applied to the multidimensional static problem,

The modular optoelectronic multispectral scanner, MOMS, is
designed for regional and global optical remote sensing
applications. In two space missions it was mounted on the Shuttle
Pallet Satellite SPAS abourd Shuttle flights STS-7 June 1983 and
STS - 11 February 1984. The missions served the technological
space verification of the sensor and the demonstration of
geoscientific and application -oriented experiments in worldwide
distrstion areas. Future development aims at the realization of a
complex remote sensing device adaptable for different mission
types and platforms, e.g. , short- term missions aboard the Shuttle,
free -flying missions with various space buses ( EURECA , the
European Retrievable Carrier of ESA, RADARSAT of Canada) or
for the man - tended polar platform of the Space Station. Author

Space exploration goals for NASA in the year 2000 time frame
are examined . A lunar base would offer the opportunity for
continuous earth viewing, further cosmogeochemical exploration
and rudimentary steps at self-sufficiency in space . The latter two
factors are also compelling reasons to plan a manned Mars base.
Furthermore, competition and cooperation in a Mars mission and
further interplanetary exploration is an attractive substitute for war.
The hardware requirements for various configurations of Mars
missions are briefly addressed , along with other, unmanned
missions to the asteroid belt, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter and the

Although the ' kosmolyot ' mini-shuttle has successfully
completed four test flights, no evidence has yet appeared that an
operational shuttle program is an established goal for the U.S.S.R.
A new medium - size booster (SL-X- 16) , capable of placing 15 tons
in orbit, is being developed for the kosmolyot but has yet to fly.
Additionally , a 220 f tall superbooster, attributed Saturn V power
and the capacity of lifting a Soviet shuttle or a space station
section into orbit, has been on a launch pad for over a year. Only
speculations are now available as to whether the forces currently
relegating the new generation of Soviet space vehicles to the
status of hangar queens are fiscal, the lack of suitable applications
at the present time, or a deficiency in technology . M.S.K.

Canada has agreed to participate with the USA, Europe and
Japan in Phase B of the development of the Space Station. The
paper addresses the preliminary studies, which have already been
completed, concerning potential Canadian users of, and suppliers
to, the Space Station infrastructure. Plans during the present phase
include studies of an Integrated Servicing and Test Facility, Solar
Arrays, and a Remote Sensing Facility which could be provided
by Canada to the infrastructure, and a Canadian User Development
Program. The requirements for on -orbit servicing and testing of
satellites and the role, in this function, both of humans and of the
autonomous systems, which may be used for servicing satellites
remotely from the Space Station , provide new technological
challenges. The requiren.unts which can be satisfied to meet broad
user demands through an unpressurized , integrated servicing and
test facility controlled by the crew , either from a pressurized work
station or during extravehicular activity, are addressed . Author

The purpose of this paper is to present a concept of the
adaptive structure for future space applications. The definition of
the adaptive structure is that the structure can purposefully vary
its geometric configuration as well as its physical properties. Future
space activities need such sophisticated structures. It is shown
that the ble geometry (VG-) is basic form of the
adaptive structure. It consists of the repetition of an octahedral
N
truss module and some of the truss members can vary their lengths
continuously by actuators. By this mechanism , the VG - truss can
change its configuration arbitrarily in 3D -space; while the inherent
high stiffness is kept during the transformation . The basic
formulations for its geometry as well as vibrational properties are
established . The functional model which is controlled by a computer
demonstrates satisfactorily the basic motions of the VG -truss. Some
applications such as the second generation manipulator arm , the
support architecture for a space station , and others are
discussed. Author

It is argued that the Space Station program will seriously
diminish the opportunities for advancing space science and
technology if it proceeds as planned, and that most national goals
in space are better realized by robot spacecraft. The inadequacy
of manned missions to meet primary goals of the space program
is considered, stressing the number of useful unmanned missions
that have been cancelled in order to keep the Space Shuttle
program going . Various arguments made in favor of manned
missions are ated dismissed, generally on the grounds
the objectives are of questionable value or could be attained more

'Leasecraft is an orbiting platform which is intended to furnish
industrial park -like support services for commercial spacecraft
operators requiring longer periods of orbital operation than the
Space Shuttle can currently furnish . This system will spread
nonrecurring costs over many missions, and reduce hardware costs
through production efficiencies that are yielded by a continuous
flow of standard components. In addition, launch costs will be
reduced by the fact that only one payload is transported to and
from orbit, and spacecraft costs will be minimized in virtue of
service life extension by on -orbit maintenance. O.C.

The rationale is discussed for obtaining additional space
infrastructure (spacecraft - including Space Stations and launch
and transportation systems) to move forward in America's second
quarter century of space activities, and the broader policy questions
arising from NASA's proposal for obtaining a particular constellation
of infrastructure elements are examined . A table of possible
hardware options is included ; possible long -term goals are
presented, and objectives are formulated to reach toward those
goals. The types of infrastructure that these objectives demand,
and the associated cost, schedule and financing, are examined . A
suggestion is offered for future roles that other nations, the private

CONCEPTS FOR THE EARLY REALIZATION OF A MANNED
MISSION TO MARS

San Diego, CA, Univelt, Inc., 1985, p. 377-390 . Research supported

(AAS 84-170 )
A concept for a first manned mission to the planet Mars,
embarking in the early- 2000's time frame is presented. For this
analysis no new technology other than what would conservatively
be expected in the next 20 years, e.g. , aerocapture technology, is
assumed to exist. A four person crew consisting of a three person
surface exploration team , and one orbiting crewmember, is
proposed. Thirty days will be spent exploring the Martian surface
and near-Mars space. A dual launch mission concept is proposed,
assuming all the required mass , including OTV's and their
propellant, would be carried to orbit via the present Shuttle fleet.
A performance summary shows that 10 OTV's are required to
inject both spacecraft on their respective trajectories to Mars, and
that a total of 18 Shuttle launches are necessary to deliver the
mass to the near - earth orbit staging area . Author

PRIVATE FUNDS WILL BOLSTER TAX DOLLARS IN THE JOB

The NASA Space Station, although originally intended solely
as a research facility, is now committed to commercial activity as
well and thereby invites consideration as a substantially privately
funded industrial park in space. Investors must assess risks posed
5
01 SYSTEMS
by technical, financial, and political uncertainties . Possible financing
methods include venture capital, limited partnership , and project
financing; each of these is appropriate under different
circumstances, as detailed in the present discussion . Assuming
that commercial applications become a significant factor in the
planning process, a strategy must be implemented that will
accomodate differing user requirements for orbiting facilities. Space
Station design and financing should accordingly be structured
around its individual components, rather than the facility as a
whole. O.C.

A Heavy Lift Launch Vehicle (HLLV) designed to deliver 300,000
lb to a 540 n mi circular polar orbit may be required to meet
national needs for 1995 and beyond. The vehicle described herein
can accommodate payload envelopes up to 50 ft diameter by
200 ft in length . Design requirements include reusability for the
more expensive components such as avionics and propulsion
systems , rapid launch turnaround time, minimum hardware
inventory, stage and component flexibility and commonality, and
low operational costs. All ascent propulsion systems utilize liquid
propellants, and overall launch vehicle stack height is minimized
while maintaining a reasonable vehicle diameter. The ascent
propulsion systems are based on the development of a new liquid
oxygen / hydrocarbon booster engine and liquid oxygen /liquid
hydrogen upper stage engine derived from today's SSME
technology. Wherever possible, propulsion and avionics systems
are contained in reusable propulsion / avionics modules that are
recovered after each launch. Author

The European Retrievable Carrier (EURECA ) is a reusable
platform launched by the Shuttle, released in a free flying mode
for 6 months or more, and then retrieved by the Shuttle Orbiter
and returned to Earth . Payload capacity is up to 1000 kg. The
first EURECA payload is primarily dedicated to material and life
sciences which benefit from the microgravity environment. The
versatility of the system is demonstrated by the fact that a quarter
of the payload weight is taken up by space science and
technological experiments. The EURECA provides an excellent
test bed to demonstrate in-flight technologies such as direct data
relay from low Earth orbits via geostationary satellites to a central
operations center, rendezvous and docking, and in -orbit servicing.
Earth Observation possibilities, and commercial applications (new
materials, crystal growth, proteins, and pharmaceutical products )
are numerous. Author (ESA )

Technical solutions for cost effective implementation and
management of the space segment of a European
telecommunication network for the 1990's were compared. The
most promising concept is an Ariane launched modular platform
where the program cost could be lowered to 44 % (depriciation
rate 0 % ) of a reference system with a conventional concept and
design. A cost advantage of a cluster type concept is not observed .
Comparing individual satellite systems with modular assembly
concepts (with a sharing of the service functional bus system ) the

cost break even point is reached after the third payload module
is docked to the central service modules. High system reliability
requirements could be covered after the attachment of the second
transfer orbit docking system to the service module satellite .
Potential benefits of a European satellite assembly system are
high due to its modular approach and the inherent high service
bus system reliability. The GEO -assembly approach shows high
mission flexibility and could provide a good payload adaptability
to varying demands, and soft system start-up cost. Author (ESA)

The Space Station will form the basis of a new space
infrastructure planned to be in place by the mid - 1990s. The
infrastructure will provide a permanent human presence in space
and add new dimensions to space operations, including extensive
construction and servicing activities. These activities will require a
number of man/machine systems. This paper describes a Space

takes an integrated view of construction and servicing activities
and the systems required for operations. Analysis of the activities
to identity generic tasks and their hierarchy is described, as well
as the options available for performing these tasks. Allocation of
the tasks between man and machine and the role of manipulators
is discussed , including the design approach to shifting more tasks
from man to machine over time. The insights provided by the
SCSS concept in aggregation of tasks for system definition , as
well as commonality of systems, subsystems, and assemblies within
SCSS, are discussed . An architecture of SCSS for the Space

A space -deployable radiator concept has been developed to
increase power dissipation through a variation of radiator area
from fully stowed to fully deployed positions; it is also intended
for use by existing spacecraft, without requiring extensive
architectural redesign. The radiator configuration encompasses a
deployable hinged panel, in which surface - embedded heat pipes
dissipate the heat throughout, and a thermally loaded rotating
joint that is coaxial with the panel hinge. The prototype unit is of
800 x 600 mm, with five embedded heat pipes and two radiative
faces. For the solstice conditions experienced by a geosynchronous
satellite , dissipation capability is 160 W and unit internal
temperature is of the order of 30 C. O.C.

An integrated analysis system has been developed to more
efficiently design and analyze the mesh reflective surface and the
mesh tie system of the box truss antenna. Six integrated computer
programs using nonlinear finite -element, surface topography and
interpolation, and RF aperture integration techniques, analyze the
effects of manufacturing errors , mesh pillowing, and operating
environment on antenna performance. The level of rigor of analysis

can be varied , providing the possibility of a lower cost preliminary
study on various designs using a minimum number of reduced
box section models. By including the random and systematic errors
with the aperture integration of minimum rms reflector surface
roughness, the RF Performance Solver determines the far - field
pattern , including the beam efficiency, and thus the antenna

An ESA unfurlable offset mesh antenna design for various
communication satellite applications covering aperture diameters
from 3.2 m (12 GHz) to 12 m (850 MHz ) with surface errors
between 0.1 and 1.4 mm rms is presented. Versatility is achieved
by a radial rib concept where foldable main ribs and intermediate
ribs tension a gold plated molybdenum mesh to the required surface
contour; which contour is varied by the application of different
numbers of ribs (e.g. , 16 for 850 MHz or 30 for 12 GHz) and
mesh fastening points. Acceptable mechanical tolerances were
established by the electrical performance criteria that the level of
the gore lobes generated by the ribs shall remain at least 30 dB
below the main beam peak under all orbital conditions. Other
features include small stowage volume double-folded carbon fiber
ribs, and intermediate ribs unloaded during stowage and tensioned
during deployment which reduce the structure weight. Applications
include a 5 m C -band Intelsat design (3.4 to 4.8 GHz) and an 8
m L-band multibeam design for Europe and coastal areas coverage.
A full- scale technology demonstration model based on the M -SAT
specifications will be tested in 1987 . R.R.

Systems requirements for design -optimized, lateral-turn
performance were determined for reusable , space -based
applications and low - Earth orbits involving large multiple
plane- inclination changes. The aerothermodynamic analysis is the
most advanced available for rarefield -hypersonic flow over lifting
surfaces at incidence . The effects of leading -edge bluntness,
low -density viscous phenomena, and finite -rate flow - field chemistry
and surface catalysis are accounted for. The predicted aerothermal
heating characteristics are correlated with thermal -control and
flight-performance capabilities. The mission payload capacity for
delivery, retrieval, and combined operations was determined for
round - trip sorties extending to polar orbits. Recommendations are
given for future design refinements. The results help to identify
technology issues required to develop prototype operational

vehicle concepts, reusable orbit transfer vehicles that provide
significant economic benefits and mission capability improvements
will be realized. Engine and vehicle design criteria previously have
lacked definition with regard to issues such as space basing and
servicing, man -rating and reliability, performance, mission flexibility,

described here has resulted in the definition of a reusable orbit
transfer vehicle concept and subsequent recommendations for the
design criteria of an advanced LO2/ LH2 engine. These design
criteria include number of engines per vehicle, nozzle design, etc.
The major characteristics of the vehicle preliminary design include
low lift to drag aerocapture capability, a main propulsion system
failure criteria of fail operational/fail safe, and either two main
engines with a high performance attitude control system for back-up
or three main engines with which to meet this failure criteria . In
addition, a maintenance approach has been established for the
advanced vehicle concept. Author

plastics technology and telescopic tube sections in the design of
the ERM results in high strength and stiffness of the mast at

Using a rather general formulation of the problem representing
a large class of space platforms with flexible, extensible members,
the paper attempts to study complex interactions between
deployment, attitude dynamics and flexural rigidity. The governing
nonlinear, nonautonomous and coupled equations of motion are
extremely difficult to solve even with the help of a computer, not
to mention the cost involved . Effectiveness of the versatile
formulation is demonstrated through its application to dynamical
situations of practical interest involving beam type appendages.
Response of the hybrid systems is obtained over a range of physical
parameters and external disturbances. Both transient as well as
post deployment phases are considered. Results suggest significant
influence of flexibility, inertia, deployment time history and orbital
parameters on the system stability. The presence of free molecular
and solar radiation induced environmental forces may further
accentuate this tendency. The study represents a necessary first
step towards development of a suitable control strategy. Author

to model the damping. In sleeve - stiffened beam joints a maximum
damping is obtained when the relative rotational stiffness of the
joint and beam are of the same order. For pin joints in multielement
trusses a maximum frictional damping occurs for trusses of low
length /bay -depth ratio . The losses increase as the coefficient of

The modelling problem for control of structures and their

abstract state space models for these systems. A method for the
computation of a distributed control law for continuum dynamics
is briefly summarized. The theoretical basis for computing effective
distributed parameter models for large truss structures with random
lattice infrastructure is discussed. The method considered leads
to the well-known Timoshenko model for beam dynamics. The
analysis provides formulas for effective beam parameters which
are quite different from those suggested by other averaging
schemes. Comprehensive models are constructed by first
developing subsystem models and then combining them according
to interconnection rules. Basic questions of causality and

well-posedness of certain standard models are reviewed, and the
answers are applied to computation of hybrid state space models

Studies conducted into the Space Station program and general
in -orbit infrastructure show the desirability of maximizing interface
compatibility. The standards set should be as flexible and as
universal as possible, ranging from grapple points to system / system
docking / berthing ports with upwards compatibility between all
levels. A common interface standard configuration is presented to
show the feasibility of achieving these requirements. It suggests
three levels of interface may be needed: (1 ) a grapple point; (2)
an unmanned interface; and (3) a manned interface, with active
and passive elements to each level, with the latter two having a
combined active / passive alternative to give an androgynous port.
The most important long-term features of the Space Station
program are the interface standards that it will set. These will not
only affect the Station and its associated systems but all
subsequent spacecraft that are required to interact with the Space
Station Infrastructure. Thus, these standards will effectively be fixed
for all time. Because of this long -term consideration, it is felt
desirable that these interfaces are agreed at the widest possible
international level. Author

orbit. In the case of large spacecraft for future space missions,

impossible, and the spacecraft will have to be separated into

test are to evaluate modal resonance of the PODS-III supports to
obtain engineering data required for use of PODS- III on flight
systems; determine possible performance improvements in large
LO2/ LH2 space applications. ( 1 ) Modal Vibration Tests. A modal
resonance survey is performed on a set of six PODS -III struts
assembled in a dewar simulator. The survey conditions simulate
both launch and orbital loadings of the struts. The orbital load
range spans a full to an empty tank. The frequencies surveyed
cover the range consistent with Shuttle qualification requirements
and the principal resonant modes of the strut system . (2) Benefit
study. The benefit of using PODS- III supports on OTV and Space
Station LO sub 2 and LH sub 2 reference tanks was compared to
nondisconnect supports. Four LO sub 2 and LH sub 2 tanks were
studied under various conditions: ( 1 ) holding the launch resonance
at 35 Hz and varying the orbit resonance ; (2) analyzing both full
and emtpy tanks at launch ; (3) varying orbit boundary temperaure;
(4) varying the number of struts; (5) varying orbit times; and (6)
using or not using vapor cooling. Author

Design sensitivity analysis and optimization of built-up structures
are formulated, analyzed, and solved numerically. A variational
approach is used to incorporate both finite dimensional and
distributed state and design variables in the same energy equation.
Kinematic and natural boundary conditions at the interfaces
between structural components of built-up structures are defined .
Variation of the energy equation with the material derivative idea
from continuum mechanics and introduction of an adjoint variational
equation yield design sensitivity vectors and functions with respect
to conventional and shape design variables. A unified method of
shape design sensitivity analysis for static and eigenvalue problems,
to complement the finite element method of structural analysis is
developed. Standard shape design sensitivity forms are derived
for structural components and may be applied to various kinds of
built-up structures to obtain design sensitivity forms at the interfaces
between structural components of built-up structures. This method
provides potential for shape optimization of complex built- up

A Hinge Actuator Mechanism (HAM) which provides a controlled
rotary motion for deployment underwent tests in vacuum, over an
isothermal range of temperatures from +82 to -68 C. The HAM
always operates over this temperature range but the time taken
for deployment ( rotation through 90 deg) varies from 23.28 sec at
+ 82C to 70.16 sec at -68C. The variation is due to the change in
resistivity of the aluminum disk rotor in the eddy current brake
used to control deployment speed. Also, at temperatures -40 C,
the torque of the main bearings increases due to the different
thermal contractions of the aluminum alloy housings and steel
shafts which results in the elimination of radial clearance in the
bearings. Author (ESA)

A study conducted on high -performance deployable structures
for the support of high -concentration ratio solar array modules is
discussed . Serious consideration is being given to the use of
high -concentration ratio solar array modules or applications such
as space stations. These concentrator solar array designs offer
the potential of reduced cost, reduced electrical complexity, higher
power per unit area, and improved survivability . Arrays of
concentrators, such as the miniaturized Cassegrainian concentrator
modules, present a serious challenge to the structural design
because their mass per unit area (5.7 kg / square meters) is higher
than that of flexible solar array blankets, and the requirement for
accurate orientation towards the Sun (plus or minus 0.5 degree)
requires structures with improved accuracy potentials. In addition ,
use on a space station requires relatively high structural natural
frequencies to avoid deleterious interactions with control systems
and other large structural components. The objective here is to
identity and evaluate conceptual designs of structures suitable for
deploying and accurately supporting high - concentration ratio solar
array modules. R.J.F.

A study was conducted to define an annular ring, discrete
roller assembly concept for the space station transverse boom
rotary joint. The concept was analyzed using closed -form and finite
element techniques, to size structural members for a range of
joint diameters and to determine necessary equivalent stiffnesses
for the roller assemblies. Also, a mass study of the system was
conducted to determine its practicality, and maximum loads in the
joint were identified . To obtain the optimum balance between high
stiffness and low structural mass in the design of the rotary joint,
it is necessary to maximize the diameter of the annular ring within
operational constraints (i.e. , shuttle cargo bay size ). Further, a
rotary joint designed with the largest possible ring diameter will
result in minimum operational loads in both the roller assemblies
and the transition truss members while also allowing minimum
design stiffnesses for the roller assemblies. Author

A method involving finite element modelling of an equivalent
continuum formulation based on matching the strain energy and
kinetic energy is developed for truss type lattices with pinned
joints. The method is shown to give modal results consistent with
those obtained using detailed finite element modelling of the pin
jointed space lattice structure, even for structures with fairly small
numbers of repetitions of an identical unit cell. Feedback controllers
using reduced system models derived from these modal results
using Modal Cost Analysis are shown to perform as well as
controllers designed using the detailed analysis results. A
micropolar plate continuum model of large plate- like repetitive
space lattice structures with rigid joints are derived. A plate finite
element is based on this continuum model with micropolar rotations
and transverse shear deformations included as nodal degrees of

freedom . The natural frequencies and mode shapes are calculated
using this element for a free floating hexahedral plate- like space
lattice structure. These natural frequencies and mode shapes are
compared to those calculated using a detailed finite element model
(with every structural member modelled by a beam - column element)
for several sets of frame member cross sectional properties. The
static deflections of a centrally loaded and corner supported
rectangular plate -like space lattice structure are also obtained and
compared these two types of structural models. GRA

Numerical simulations based upon equations governing the
motion of a rigid body supporting a deployable flexible linkage
that carries a rigid load are used to study spacecraft control.
However, since existing methods for the formulation of equations
of motion do not lend themselves well for this purpose, one must
extend these methods in order to come into position to undertake
numerical simulations. The central idea underlying the extension
is that equations of motion of a system of bodies subject to
constraints can be obtained by temporarily disregarding the
constraints, writing expressions for generalized inertia forces and
for generalized active forces associated with the unconstrained
system , and then using these together with coefficients appearing
in the constraint equations to generate a set of equations of motion
of the original system. Certain arrays, called Z arrays, are introduced
in connection with the derivation of constraint equations associated
with elastic bodies arranged in closed kinematical loops. Use of
these arrays makes it possible to let the linkage have any number
of links. The legitimacy of modal representation of the elastic
deformation of a typical link is discussed in view of the fact that
the link is subjected to an unknown time-varying shear load. Several
studies are performed to illustrate the behavior of the system with
a variety of initial conditions, parameters, and number of modes
used to describe elastic deflections. These studies indicate that
in -orbit deployment can be obtained passively, and that, in certain
applications, weight reduction of the links can be sustained without
affecting the dynamic behavior of the system , as far as inplane
motions are concerned . Dissert. Abstr.

simultaneously in structural and control parameters using gradient

was a core MSS formed by four habitable modules on which are
mounted heat pipe radiators articulated to be always edge-on to

available heat sinks, several thermal loads and the heat rejection
capability. No benefits were found with diode -action radiators if
the solar absorption is 0.1 or less, although diode - action heat
pipes will maintain a higher level of performance in the presence
of coating degradation. Thermal storage becomes important only
with radiator coating degradation. Water can be up to three times

single-phase cooling offers a lower system mass than two -phase

Conventional techniques of using a portion of the spacecraft
skin for radiation of waste heat will be inadequate for high powered
payloads (50 to 100 kWe) due to the lack of sufficient area. A
Shuttle type system using a pumped single phase fluid loop could
be scaled up to higher power but this type of system would require
excessive pump power and weight. A pumped two-phase heat
transfer loop has a much lower pumping requirement due to the
higher latent heat of vaporization of the fluid in comparison to the
sensible heat it can absorb through a temperature change .
Concepts for an evaporator and a condenser for a pumped
two -phase system are described . The condenser uses capillary
grooves and a separate pumped condensate return line to achieve
high heat transfer coefficients and stable operation due to the
separation of the vapor and liquid flows. The cold plate evaporator
uses wicks to contain the liquid and transport it to the heated
surface. It can also function as a condenser for warming
components. Control concepts for the cold plate are discussed .
Concepts for deployment or erection of large space radiators are
also considered. Author

The Nitinol Heat Engine (NHE) uses a shape -memory alloy of
nickel and titanium to convert thermal energy directly to mechanical
power and through a generator, to electricity. An NHE was analyzed
and designed to produce power from solar irradiation in space,
with radiative cooling to a deep - space heat sink. A model NHE
was built and tested in a space chamber simulating the radiation
and space environment, and produced results agreeing with
performance predictions. Other space NHE using Space Station
waste heat are also discussed. Such space NHE are demonstrated
to be cost-competitive with photovoltaic cells as a source for space
power. Author

constructible radiator system . The disconnect provides a A86-23537
maintainable coupling between the heat pipe evaporator, which is
brazed to a mating heat exchanger, and the replaceable condenser
section of a monogroove heat pipe radiator element. Test results,
with pressurized nitrogen gas, confirm low leakage rates in both
demated and mated configurations. Comparative thermal tests in
a working 3 m ( 10 ft) test bed heat pipe using ammonia fluid
revealed a 30 percent decrease in heat transport due to the
additional minor pressure losses from the quick disconnect. The
bulk of this loss is attributed to the transition section that joins
the two adjacent heat pipe flow channels to the separated liquid
and vapor passages within the disconnect coupling. It would be
possible to decrease this overall loss in heat transport to under
10 percent with a redesigned transition section. Author

During the period from February 1984 to April 1985, test data
have been obtained on several of the Space Constructible radiator
(SCR ) system components, such as the high capacity monogroove
heat pipe , the contact heat exchanger , and the heat pipe
disconnect. In light of both the performance data that are now
available and the changes in Space Station requirements that
have occurred since the inception of the SCR program in 1979,
an optimization study of the entire SCR system is warranted. This
paper reports the results of that study, which includes performance,

The continued growth in demand for space-based
telecommunications systems, coupled with the rapidly decreasing
availability of orbital slots at geosynchronous altitude, brings closer
the realization of advanced , very large communications satellites .
This paper examines the impact that such large satellites will have
on the thermal verification process, especially the degree to which
present thermal testing and analytical modeling techniques must
be adapted. In particular, the effects of satellite modularization
and the use of advanced thermal technologies in the satellite's
Thermal Control Subsystem are investigated. Author

The manned Space Station, as currently designed, contains a
baseline thermal management system (TMS) which uses
components and subsystems never before employed in manned
spacecraft. The basis for the technology used in the TMS design
is the result of a long-term TMS Technology Development Plan
which was initiated in 1979. Rankin and Marshall ( 1983) have
discussed the history and progress of that plan from its beginnings
to early 1983. The present paper is concerned with the status of
activities conducted at the NASA Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center

In the case of the NASA Space Station with its high thermal
power levels and transport distances in excess of 50 meters ,
approaches used for thermal management in the case of low -power
spacecraft or even the Space Transportation System are not
feasible any longer. A novel approach to the two -phase thermal
bus concept has, therefore, been developed for the Space Station .
The thermal bus concept employs a two-phase fluid loop to
transport heat by evaporation and condensation rather than by
sensible heating and cooling. The new concept employs a rotary
fluid management device ( RFMD) which incorporates pitot pumps
to preclude potential cavitation problems associated with centrifugal
pumps. G.R.

After the first flight of Spacelab, the European Space Agency
( ESA) decided to develop the Eureca project. The project has the
objective to provide a space platform with a guaranteed level of
microgravity in the range from 0.0001 to 0.00001 g. The materials
science experiments envisaged require, in addition to the
microgravity environment, also servicing facilities. Thus , active
cooling loops are needed for accurate thermal control. Such loops,
based on operations involving forced circulation of Freon , water,
or ammonia, are currently under development. The implementation
of the circulation process requires the employmnent of a pump.
Pumps can be sources of vibration and noise which can disturb
the conditions required for the experiments. The present paper is
concerned with the development of a pump with operational
characteristics which will not interfere with the experimental
conditions. Attention is given to the Freon Pump Package (FPP)
design description, and the tradeoffs needed to obtain obtain a
very silent pump unit. G.R.

The object of thermal control design of ESA's EURECA carrier
is to keep all spacecraft components within specified temperature
limits and at the same time minimize the required heater power
by defining particular attitude constraints of the Orbiter. The attitude
sequences had to be selected where an overheating of the batteries
is precluded (due to low T - sensitivity of hydrazine), which in turn
implies a potentially too low hydrazine - T. To reduce computer
calculations, a decision tool was developed, which allows the user
to identify potentially favorable Orbiter attitude sequences without
detailed thermal analyses. It was found that even under very
favorable Orbiter attitudes, there exists a heater-power demand of
at least 100 W, in particular, for components with low thermal
inertia . I.S.

The European activities regarding the U.S. Space Station are
currently mainly concerned with studies related to the Columbus
program . The first step involves a pressurized module attached to
the Space Station , and a free-flying platform . In future Space Station
modules and platforms, the role of thermal management will
become much more significant because of the expected long
duration of the missions. In addition, large quantities of waste
heat will have to be dissipated. As current heat transport systems
utilizing heat pipes or pumped liquid loops have severe limitations,
more advanced thermal control technologies are needed . The
present paper is concerned with such technologies. Attention is
given to future thermal control requirements, the definition of a
European two -phase model system , aspects of space platform
thermal control, an experimental program , a hybrid radiator concept,
and maintenance aspects. G.R.

Early investigations have shown that a large percentage of the
power generated on the Space Station will be needed in the form
of high -temperature thermal energy. The most efficient method of
satisfying this requirement is through direct utilization of available
solar energy. A system concept for the direct use of solar energy
on the Space Station , including its benefits to customers,
technologists, and designers of the station, is described . After a
brief discussion of energy requirements and some possible
applications, results of selective tradeoff studies are discussed,
showing area reduction benefits and some possible configurations
for the practical use of direct solar heating . Following this is a
description of system elements and required technologies. Finally,
an assessment of available contributive technologies is presented,
and a Space Shuttle Orbiter flight experiment is proposed.

PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF RADIATION COOLED DC

p. 1.252-1.269. Previously announced in STAR as N85-28222.
As space power levels increase to meet mission objectives
and also as the transmission distance between power source and
load increases, the mass, volume, power loss, and operating
voltage and temperature become important system design
considerations. This analysis develops the dependence of the
specific mass and percent power loss on the power and voltage
levels, transmission distance , operating temperature and conductor
material properties. Only radiation cooling is considered since the
transmission line is assumed to operate in a space environment.
The results show that the limiting conditions for achieving low
specific mass, percent power loss, and volume for a space -type
de transmission line are the permissible transmission voltage and
operating temperature. Other means to achieve low specific mass
include the judicious choice of conductor materials. The results of
this analysis should be immediately applicable to power system
trade - off studies including comparisons with ac transmission
systems. Author

order to provide a basis for the development and implementation
of future technologies. The components of the spacecraft thermal
management system include the following : heat pipes , latent
thermal energy storage materials, radiators and other thermal
structures. The design problem becomes one of selecting a
combination of these components subject to both spacecraft
mission and launch requirements. To facilitate this design process,
a knowledge based design assistant is being developed in the

kW per module / platform for a 10 yr mission is defined. A two -phase
flow loop driven by an electrically powered liquid pump and with
capillary assisted evaporators is selected. To fulfil the requirements
of narrow temperature control limits, each two - phase flow concept
requires a complex control device. A modular design solution
dictates the parallel configuration of all evaporators and heat pipe
based radiator panels. A program culminating in integration and
test of a demonstration model of the complete system is

A radiator for the space platform of the Columbus Space Station
program is studied . A preliminary design of a 10 kW deployable
radiator with two phase flow heat pipes feeder line is presented.
A preference is found for a folding rigid panel concept, which has
a lower mass for up to 20 kW . A strong preference for a parallel
condenser network is shown. A flow performance analysis of the
parallel teeder system gives a pressure drop of 0.1 bar, well within
the specifications. The condensers are located on the heat pipe
evaporators, in the middle of the heat pipes. In this way a four
times higher capacity per heat pipe is obtained . The developed
feeder system design requires no bends in the heat pipes.

impact. Investigation of potential heat pipe layouts results in a
preference for using low to moderate transport capacity heat pipes
( 10 to 100 Wm). A preliminary comparison of three types of coating

The thermally induced stresses and deformations in layered ,
orthotropic tubes are studied. The motivation for studying tubes is
their likely application for use in space structures. Tubes are a
strong candidate for this application because of their high structural
efficiency, as measured by stiffness per unit weight, and their
relative ease of fabrication. Also, tubes have no free edges to
deteriorate or delaminate . An anticipated thermal condition for tubes
in space is a circumferential temperature gradient. This type of
gradient will introduce dimensional changes into the structure and
may cause stresses large enough to cause damage to the material.
There are potentially large differences in temperatures at different
circumferential locations on the tube. Because of this, the effects
of temperature dependent material properties on the stresses and
deformations may be important. The study is composed of three
parts: experiments to determine the functional form of the
circumferential gradient and to measure tube deflections; an
elasticity solution to compute the stresses and deformations; and
an approximate approach to determine the effects of temperature
dependent material properties. Author

A procedure for the measurement of material damping is
described . The free decay of free - free beams, when lofted into
free fall in vacuum, was recorded. Tests were performed on
aluminum, graphite / epoxy, and graphite /magnesium metal matrix
materials . Specimens with a fundamental free - free frequency below
the elaxation frequency showed a higher level of damping and of
stress dependence than predicted. For O sub 8 laminates, a material
damping ratio of 0.00055 was found for fequencies varying from
45 Hz to 237 Hz. The damping was neither stress nor frequency
dependent. For 90 sub 8 laminates, the damping ratio ranged
from 0.0055 to 0.0066 as frequency ranged from 42 Hz to 143
Hz. Damping ratios for 90 sub 8 specimens were independent of
stress. Experimentally measured damping ratios for metal matrix
specimens with unidirectional graphite fibers, magnesium matrix,
and either titanium or magnesium foil, ranged from .00039 to
.00099 , depending upon the matrix material , frequency, and
possibly the stress range involved. E.A.K.

AN APPROACH TO THE DYNAMICS OF MODULAR REPETITIVE

The dynamics of modular structures is approached in this paper
by means of the discrete Fourier transform. This method, applied
to a structure with N bays and ring type boundary conditions,
leads to N uncoupled systems of the size of a single bay. For
other boundary conditions, it leads to a ' spectrally resolved'
eigenproblem , that is a form whose dominant terms in each field
of frequency are evidenced. Approximate reduced models in narrow
frequency fields can therefore be generated by using the 'spectral
condensation ' technique. The method can be applied with general
boundary conditions, but the present paper deals mostly with the
' clamped edges' boundary condition and shows that numerical
advantages can be obtained, particularly for the large space
structures. Author

CONTROL OF AN ORBITING FLEXIBLE SQUARE PLATFORM

An analysis is made of the dynamics of a thin , homogeneous,
flexible square plate exposed to solar radiation disturbance. It is
shown that only the first three flexible modes of the plate generate
a first order net moment about the center of mass and that the
solar radiation pressure does not influence the flexible modes of
the plate for small-amplitude vibrations. In the absence of control,
for a symmetrical homogeneous square platform , the solar radiation
induces a steady angular drift about one of the body principal
axes. For extremely flexible platforms, nominally oriented in the
local horizontal plane, appreciable rigid modal amplitudes can be
induced due to solar radiation, even in the presence of both active
and passive control. Optimal control law and feedback gain values
are obtained using linear quadratic Gaussian methods. V.L.

A theory of multiple-actuator modal-space active damping
(control) of individual structural vibration modes is first reviewed;
then an experiment is described in which the control technique
was applied to a laboratory beam -cable structure. Active damping
was produced in the three lowest modes (all under 10 Hz) of the
structure by a feedback control system consisting of a single
velocity sensor, an analog controller, and three force actuators.
Both open-loop and closed -loop frequency response functions were
measured. A theoretical frequency response analysis is developed ,
and experimental results are compared with theoretical
predictions. Author

An eigenspace optimization approach is proposed and
demonstrated for the design of feedback controllers for the
maneuvers / vibration arrests of flexible structures. The algorithm
developed is shown to be equally useful in sequential or

simultaneous design iterations that modify the structural
parameters, sensor / actuator locations, and control feedback gains.
The approach is demonstrated using a differential equation model
for the ' Draper/RPL configuration '. This model corresponds to the
hardware used for experimental verification of large flexible
spacecraft maneuver controls . A number of sensor /actuator
configurations are studied vis - a -vis the degree of controllability.
Linear output feedback gains are determined using a novel
optimization strategy. The feasibility of the approach is established,

The effect of having both parameter uncertainties and errors
arising from spatial discretization on the performance of control
systems is analyzed for distributed structures. It is shown that
having errors in the system parameters, as well as errors due to
a finite element type of discretization , is the equivalent to
implementing the control laws by a set of admissible functions
instead of by the actual eigenfunctions. It is shown that if natural
control is considered in conjunction with modal filters and an
adequate number of sensors, implementation of the control action
by admissible functions leads to a stable closed - loop system. Using
Gerschgorin's disks, the deviation of the desired closed - loop
eigenvalues is determined. Author

The technologies which will permit sub -0.1 arcsec pointing
accuracies on spacecraft in the 1990s are examined, along with
the accuracies required and the current state of the art. Of particular
interest are multi-mission spacecraft. Pointing accuracy can only
be obtained by integrating the instrument ( telescope) as part of
the spacecraft, minimizing disturbances and using reaction wheels
for pointing. The pointer could be isolated from complex spacecraft
disturbances by soft mechanical mounts, e.g. , inflatible tethers,
guy-wire suspension and fluidic pointing systems. All design options
are being explored for the Space Station, Earth Observing System ,

The present paper is concerned with the measurement and
monitoring of two distinct varieties of thermally induced distortions
experienced by space hardware subject to space environment.
The first type of distortion can be represented by a change in the
angle between reference lines, while the second type can be
related to a change in the dimension defined by two points . A
description is presented of techniques for the measurement of
both types of distortion during a thermal vacuum test. The angular
distortion measuring technique discussed makes use of two
precision reflectors which are mounted on a space gimbal. The
translational distortion measuring technique described is based on
the employment of a Michelson interferometer. G.R.

Conway et al. ( 1983) formulated a capture problem in which a
1000 kg target spacecraft is to be retrieved from geosynchronous
orbit to low earth orbit. In a continuation of that work, this paper
introduces a translational degree of freedom in the joint on the
orbital maneuvering vehicle (OMV) used to retrieve the target.
The capture problem is formulated as a nonsingular two -point
boundary value problem (TPBVP ) using optimal control theory .
The TPBVP is solved by a numerical method to yield the continuous
optimal , open -loop passivation controls. To size the structural
requirements of the joint on the OMV and the connecting device
to the target, the constraint force and torque on the joint are
determined. The component of the constraint force in the direction
of the joint motion gives the control requirement for moving the
joint during capture. The results show that detumbling of the target
can be accomplished with control torques of very reasonable
magnitudes. C.D.

Proposed space missions will require large scale, light weight,
space based structural systems. Large space structure technology
(LSST) systems will have to accommodate (among others): ocean
data systems; electronic mail systems; large multibeam antenna
systems; and, space based solar power systems. The structures
are to be delivered into orbit by the Space Shuttle. Because of
their inherent size, modelling techniques and scaling algorithms
must be developed so that system performance can be predicted
accurately prior to launch and assembly. When the size and
weight-to -area ratio of proposed LSST systems dictate that the
entire system be considered flexible, there are two basic modelling
methods which can be used. The first is a continuum approach, a
mathematical formulation for predicting the motion of a general
orbiting flexible body, in which elastic deformations are considered
small compared with characteristic body dimensions. This approach
is based on an a priori knowledge of the frequencies and shape
functions of all modes included within the system model.
Alternatively, finite element techniques can be used to model the
entire structure as a system of lumped masses connected by a
series of (restoring) springs and possibly dampers. In addition, a
computational algorithm was developed to evaluate the coefficients
of the various coupling terms in the equations of motion as applied
to the finite element model of the Hoop /Column. F.M.R.

A method for determining and controlling the shape of large,
continuous space structures by means of discrete or pointwise
observations and control devices is presented. The general linear
boundary value problem satisfied by a one- dimensional shape
function is defined, and the existence of solutions is studied. The
static shape control problems for one-dimensional systems with
and without rigid body modes and the static shape estimation
problem are presented and solved. Eigenfunction expansions are
presented which provide approximations to the algorithm terms
when the associated Green's function is not known. An integral
operator approach is applied to the multidimensional static problem,
and the results are illustrated with a finite element model of the
disk of a large space antenna which assumes no rigid body modes.
It is shown that the shape control algorithm must be modified for
systems with rigid body modes. C.D.

Consideration is given to the nonlinear stability of motions
around L(5) in the elliptic restricted three -body problem. The effect
of the orbital eccentricity of the primaries on the shape of the
established stability region is studied in detail. It is shown that the
width of the stability regions decreases as the eccentricity of the

STABILITY OF LARGE DAMPED FLEXIBLE SPACECRAFT WITH
STORED ANGULAR MOMENTUM

The vibrational stability of large flexible structurally damped
spacecraft carrying angular momentum and undergoing large rigid
body rotations is studied theoretically. Analytical solutions to the
motion of rigid gyrostats under torque free conditions are developed
which serve as a generalization of existing solutions. Differential
equations having constant or periodic coefficients for the structural
vibration of the spacecraft, are obtained and Floquet theory is
applied to determine the stability of the periodic differential
equations. Analysis of a few beam-like and plate-like configurations
indicate that the introduction of a single reaction wheel into an
axisymmetric satellite does not alter the stability criterion. However,
introduction of constant speed rotors deteriorates vibrational
stability. 1.H.

PASSIVE DAMPING - HAS ITS TIME FINALLY COME?
M. L. DRAKE (Dayton, University, OH) Mechanical Engineering
(ISSN 0025-6501 ), vol. 107, Dec. 1985, p. 20-24.
Techniques and materials being used for passive damping of
dynamic structures are discussed . The goal is to dissipate
resonance vibrational energy using properly designed dynamic
absorbers. The methods employed can be a free-layer damping
system, a constrained -layer damping system or a tuned, viscoelastic
damper. Recent increases in computer power and quality control
are supporting the capabilities of providing appropriate materials,
analyzing the dynamic responses of structures early in the design
stage, and devising the necessary damping configurations. The
damping calculations are performed using finite element methods
to characterize the modal strain energy in complicated structures.
Damping materials, particularly polymers and ceramics, can now
withstand temperatures ranging from -100 to 1600 F. Accurately
designed damping systems are especially important for satellites,
in which up to 40 percent of all electronic systems failures have
been attributed to vibrations. The techniques are also vital to
successful damping of large space structures. M.S.K.

CONTROLLER DESIGN AND PARAMETER IDENTIFIABILITY
STUDIES FOR A LARGE SPACE ANTENNA
S. M. JOSHI (NASA, Langley Research Center, Hampton, VA)
Canadian Society for Mechanical Engineering, Transactions ( ISSN
0315-8977) , vol. 9, no. 3, 1985, p. 125-130. rets
The problem of control systems synthesis and parameter
identifiability are considered for a large, space-based antenna. Two
methods are considered for control system synthesis, the first of
which uses torque actuators and collocated attitude and rate
sensors, and the second method is based on the
linear-quadratic-Gaussian (LQG) control theory. The predicted
performance obtained by computing variances of pointing, surface
and feed misalignment errors in the presence of sensor noise
indicates that the LQG -based controller yields superior results.
Since controller design requires the knowledge of the system
parameters , the identifiability of the structural parameters is
investigated by obtaining Cramer-Rao lower bounds. The modal
frequencies are found to have the best identifiability, followed by
damping ratios, and mode-slopes. Author

The characteristics of the Mariner Mark II Integrated Platform
Pointing and Attitude Control System (IPPACS ) microstep actuator
with momentum compensation and the IPPACS optical reference
tracker are examined , and the advantages of this new technology
are identified . The momentum -compensated articulation acts to
prevent platform articulation activity from disturbing the spacecaft.
This guarantees dynamic stability, ensures a quiescent pointing
environment, and decouples the design of the platform from the
design of the spacecraft. A microstep actuator with harmonic drive
provides platform angular step resolution to 0.5 arcsec for precision
pointing of instruments. An optical reference tracker boresighted
with scientific instruments guarantees accurate target-referenced
closed -loop pointing. An IPPACS star and target tracker with 1 to
10 arcsec accuracy and wide 11 x 17 degrees field of view has
been derived from Advanced Star and Target Reference Optical
Sensor (ASTROS) CCD star tracker technology, greatly enhancing
the optical referencing capabilities of future multimission

An experimental study of feedback control of the motion of a
single-link flexible arm is presented. The constrained viscoelastic
layer method of passive damping is used to control the arm in
this experiment. The relation between damping and the length of
the constraining layer and frequency is examined. The effect of
damping on the open loop response of the system is studied;
damping improves the response of the system . The configuration
of the arm used in the experiment is described. The arm is tested
for colocated and modal feedback conditions; graphs of the
system's response with and without passive damping are provided.
The benefits of damping in the colocated control case are analyzed
by the root locus technique. The results of the experiments and
analysis reveal that supplementing the active control of a flexible
structure with a simple passive damping technique is a practical
method of control . I.F.

A control system design approach for flexible spacecraft is
presented. The control system design is carried out in two steps.
The first step consists of determining the 'ideal control system in
terms of a desirable dynamic performance. The second step
consists of designing a control system using a limited number of
actuators that possesses a dynamic performance that is close to
the ideal dynamic performance. The effects of using a limited
number of actuators is that the actual closed -loop eigenvalues
differ from the ideal closed-loop eigenvalues. A method is presented
to approximate the actual closed -loop eigenvalues so that the
calculation of the actual closed -loop eigenvalues can be avoided .
Depending on the application, it also may be desirable to apply
 1

the control forces as impulses. The effect of digitizing the control
to produce the appropriate impulses is also examined . Author

Results are presented of dynamic structural analyses of 75
and 300 kW versions of a solar dynamic (SD) power supply for
990 the Space Station (MSS ). The SD is being seriously considered
as an alternative to solar panels due to lower areal and mass
requirements and higher efficiencies. The functioning principle is
to use parabolic concentrators to focus sunlight on a heat engine
to boil liquids to drive a turbine. Potential problems are foreseen
in terms of the torques which would be experienced by the MSS
and the subsequent orbital stability effects. The stability would be
altered by changing aerodynmaic drag, altered moment of inertia
and angular momentum and the altered center of mass location .
30 The problem is exacerbated by the need to first equip the MSS
with solar panels while the SD technology is developed. The
analysis shows that the attitude control system will need to be
redesigned and resized to accommodate MSS growth with either
power system . The effects of the rotating parts of the SD system
can be minimized, but further studies are required to determine
the effects on the pointing accuracy of the SD, which must be 10
times as precise as that needed by a photovoltaic array. M.S.K.

ROBUSTNESS PROPERTIES OF COLLOCATED CONTROLLERS

Robustness properties are investigated for two types of
controllers for large flexible space structures, which use collocated
sensors and actuators. The first type is an attitude controller which
uses negative definite feedback of measured attitude and rate,
while the second type is a damping enhancement controller which
uses only velocity ( rate) feedback . It is proved that collocated
attitude controllers preserve closed loop global asymptotic stability
when linear actuator / sensor dynamics satisfying certain phase
conditions are present, or monotonic increasing nonlinearities are
present. For velocity feedback controllers, the global asymptotic
stability is proved under much weaker conditions. In particular,
they have 90 phase margin and can tolerate nonlinearities
belonging to the (0, infinity) sector in the actuator / sensor
characteristics. The results significantly enhance the viability of
both types of collocated controllers, especially when the available
information about the large space structure (LSS) parameters is
inadequate or inaccurate . Author

This paper addresses issues that should receive further
examination in the near-term as concept selection for development
of a U.S. space reactor power system is approached. The issues
include: the economics, practicality and system reliability associated
with transfer of nuclear spacecraft from low earth shuttle orbits to
operational orbits, via chemical propulsion versus nuclear electric
propulsion ; possible astronaut supervised reactor and nuclear
electric propulsion startup in low altitude Shuttle orbit; potential
deployment methods for nuclear powered spacecraft from Shuttle;
the general public safety of low altitude startup and nuclear safe
and disposal orbits; the question of preferred reactor power level;
and the question of frozen versus molten alkali metal coolant
during launch and deployment. These issues must be considered
now because they impact the SP- 100 concept selection , power
level selection , weight and size limits, use of deployable radiators,
reliability requirements , and economics, as well as the degree of
need for and the urgency of developing space reactor power

This paper discusses a novel approach for rapidly creating
and verifying 6 -DOF space interceptor simulation that replaces
the usual need for using programming languages to create
simulations. Instead , symbols (icons) are menu- selected to define
and screen -display user-designed functional block diagrams as an
expert engineer would do to automatically create the intercept
simulation. The result is a substantial reduction in manpower
required to evaluate an compare space interceptor concept. The
6 - DOF simulation -building app ch allows the user to define the
interceptor to be simulated in a ' top - down' manner employing the
usual process of top -down functional analysis to define functional
block diagrams of the system . Subsequently, 'bottom -up' modular
construction of the simulation can be accomplished , with design
and verification at the I /O level of each subsystems. Author

The relationship between the Space Station common module
power distribution and EMI environment is investigated. Circuit cross
coupling and radiated emissions at the various distribution voltages
and frequencies are examined in order to clarify the EMI tradeoffs
involved in the selection of an approach to power distribution . It
is concluded that it will be difficult to build high frequency power
converters and buses which are compatible with the conducted
susceptibility limits of the worst case transient, due to the lower
limits at the higher frequencies. EMI characteristics for dc systems
are driven largely by switching and transients, and it is therefore
highly desirable to use solid state or hybrid switches which can
limit rise and fall times and eliminate arcing. The importance of

maintaining load balance in polyphase ac systems is shown, as is
the importance of keeping circuits susceptible to magnetic circuit
coupling in the far field. C.D.

meeting the energy storage requirements of large spacecraft. The
flywheel has a total energy storage capacity of 16 kWhr, of which
12.5 kWhr are available as usable energy. This rating is suitable
for use in multiple unit systems to meet the anticipated energy

The dynamic qualification of spacecraft structures is considered,
taking into account the use of modal survey tests to verify normal
mode parameters. A survey is conducted of the state of the art
of the classical sine -dwell methods and of some experimental
modal analysis methods. The advantage of the new methods is
that appropriated exciter forces, in the sense of the sine-dwell
method are unnecessary. It is pointed out that in Europe the
classical sine-dwell method is preferred to measure the normal
mode parameters of the undamped structure for correlation and
modelling of experimental and analytical results. Because of its
superior flexibility, the model survey test concept is expected to
attract increasing interest for purposes of dynamic qualification of
future spacecraft structures. G.R.

The success of the Space Shuttle program has provided an
ability to construct large structures in space. A control of the
mechanical alignment of the structures may represent a critical
factor for their suitable operation. One approach for providing such
a control is based on the insertion of linear actuators in selected
positions within the structure . Structural control is accomplished
by making the actuators extend or retract. A description is given
of an actuator system which based on the use of a fluid pump to
expand and contract two chambers enclosed by metal bellows.
The materials used in the construction of the actuator include
aluminum, stainless steel, Teflon, flurosilicone elastomers, copper,
and samarium cobalt. Attention is given to the force motors used
to drive the pump bellows , a pump hardware description, a

Questions regarding the advantages of a use of dynamic
substructuring concepts are considered. Dynamic substructuring
using fixed interface modes is very attractive, but problems can
arise in connection with the presence of a large number of interface
degrees of freedom (dofs) at the system level. This is particularly
true in the case of large and complex structures . In the conducted
investigation, free vibration of the Indian Remote Sensing Satellite
( IRS ) forms the base for studying the effectiveness of different
methods of reducing the number of interface dofs. The results
show that the use of Ritz vectors is not feasible , while the
employment of junction modes is uneconomical. Static
condensation leads to erroneous results, even for frequencies,
when applied to interface dofs in the substructure synthesis method .
It is suggested to use recursive substructuring to overcome this

The averaging method is used to obtain approximate equations
describing the evolution of the rotations of a symmetric rigid satellite
with a homogeneous viscoelastic antenna. The system is
represented as a ring onto which a viscoelastic film is stretched.
Transverse deformations of the membrane accompanied by energy
dissipation are responsible for the evolution of regular precession .
Steady-state motions of the system are determined , and their
stability is analyzed. The present study is of interest in connection
with the design of satellite solar power stations. B.J.

Flexible solar battery paddles of spacecrafts have low frequency
vibrational characteristics due to the stringent limitation of the
weight of launched rockets . The basic problem dealt with here is
how to estimate and control the vibrational modes of flexible booms
of the arrays even in large angle attitude maneuvers. First a
proposed mode estimation method using the outputs of solar cells
is shown to give good estimates of the vibrational modes. Then,
it is shown that even static output maximization control in a desired
direction cannot work stably without flexibility control based on
the mode estimation, and that the boom is controlled dynamically
based on the feedback control theory so as to suppress the
vibration of the arrays even in large angle attitude maneuvers.

The following analytical and experimental studies were
conducted : ( 1 ) A simple algorithm was developed to suppress the
structural vibrations of 3 - dimensional distributed parameter
systems, subjected to interface motion and /or directly applied
forces. The algorithm is designed to cope with structural oscillations
30
superposed on top of rigid-body motion: a situation identical to
that encountered by the SCOLE components. A significant feature
of the method is that only local measurements of the structural
displacements and velocities relative to the moving frame of
reference are needed. (2) A numerical simulation study was
conducted on a simple linear finite element model of a cantilevered
plate which was subjected to test excitations consisting of impulsive
base motion and of nonstationary wide -band random excitation
applied at its root. In each situation , the aim was to suppress the
vibrations of the plate relative to the moving base. (3) A small
mechanical model resembling an aircraft wing was designed and
fabricated to investigate the control algorithm under realistic

Spacecraft attitude control is described by a nonlinear dynamic
mathematical model. When Euler parameters are used to define
the orientation of a spacecraft with respect to an inertial frame,
the model takes a certain form where the components of one
factor are quadratic or higher order functions of the state vehicles.
Large -angle maneuvers have traditionally been accomplished as
a succession of small-angle rotations from a sequence of defined
operating points about which the model is linearized. Alternatively,
a sequence of single axis rotations are performed . These processes
are computationally burdensome and are unable to produce fast
multi- axial rotational maneuvers . GRA

An experimental and theoretical study of three different passive
damping concepts is conducted for a slender member with partial
rotational end restraints. Over a hundred full-scale natural vibration
experiments were conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of
mass -string, polyethylene tubing, and chain damping concepts. The
damping properties obtained from the experiments were used in
the approximate analyses based on the partial differential equation
of motion for the problem. The comparison of the experimental
and the theoretical deflection -time relations shows that the
velocity- dependent damping model used in the theory is adequate.
From the experimental results, the effect of end connection friction
and induced axial forces on damping is identified . The definition
of an efficiency index is proposed based on the damping ratio
and the mass of a given passive damping device. Using this
definition , the efficiencies of the three damping devices are
compared. The polyethylene tubing concept resulted into a low
damping efficiency. B.W.

Analysis of a flexible beam with displaced end - located inertial

is shown to consist of two one-plane bending modes and one
torsional mode. These three components of the mode shapes are
shown to be linear combinations of trigonometric and hyperbolic
sine and cosine functions. Boundary conditions are derived to

of the general solutions of the three governing partial differential
equations. A method of solution which takes these boundary
conditions into account is also presented. A computer program

The use of high performance systems, which is the trend of
future space systems, naturally leads to lower margins and a higher
sensitivity to parameter variations and, therefore, more problems
of dynamical physical systems. To circumvent dynamic problems
of these systems, appropriate design, verification analysis, and
tests must be planned and conducted. The basic design goal is
to define the problem before it occurs. The primary approach for
meeting this goal is a good understanding and reviewing of the
problems experienced in the past in terms of the system under
design . This paper reviews many of the dynamic problems
experienced in space systems design and operation, categorizes
them as to causes, and envisions future program implications,
developing recommendations for analysis and test approaches.

Of all large space structural systems, space stations present a
unique challenge and requirement to advanced control technology.
During shuttle docking the system mass may suddenly increase
by more than 100 % and during station assembly the mass may
vary even more drastically. Large space structural systems require
highly sophisticated control systems that can grow as the stations
evolve and cope with the uncertainities and time-varying elements
to maintain the stability and pointing of the space stations. This
dissertation first deals with the aspects of space station operational
properties including configurations, dynamic models, shuttle
docking contact dynamics, solar panel interaction and load
reduction to yield a set of system models and conditions. A model
reference adaptive control algorithm along with the inner- loop plant
augmentation design for controlling the space stations under severe
operational conditions of shuttle docking , excessive model
parameter errors, and model truncation are then investigated.

The use of recursive lattice filters for identification and adaptive
control of large space structures was studied. Lattice filters are
used widely in the areas of speech and signal processing. Herein ,
they are used to identify the structural dynamics model of the
flexible structures. This identified model is then used for adaptive
control. Before the identified model and control laws are integrated,
the identified model is passed through a series of validation
procedures and only when the model passes these validation
procedures control is engaged. This type of validation scheme
prevents instability when the overall loop is closed. The results
obtained from simulation were compared to those obtained from
experiments. In this regard, the flexible beam and grid apparatus
at the Aerospace Control Research Lab (ACRL) of NASA Langley
Research Center were used as the principal candidates for carrying
out the above tasks. Another important area of research , namely
that of robust controller synthesis, was investigated using frequency
domain multivariable controller synthesis methods. G.L.C.

This study analyzes certain selected topics in rival dc and high

interaction between the Space Station and the plasma environment
is analyzed, leading to a limit on the voltage for the solar array
and a potential problem with resonance coupling at high
frequencies. Certain problems are pointed out in the concept of a
rotary transformer, and further development work is indicated in
connection with dc circuit switching, special design of a
transmission conductor for the ac system , and electric motors.
The question of electric shock hazards , particularly at high
frequency, is also explored . and a problem with reduced skin
resistance and therefore increased hazard with high frequency ac
is pointed out. The study concludes with a comparison of the
main advantages and disadvantages of the two rival systems, and
it is suggested that the choice between the two should be made
after further studies and development work are completed .

The motion of a tethered system of two satellites in geometric
orbit is examined. The main satellite is assumed to move in circular
orbit at a height of 200 to 250 km above the Earth's surface,
while the subsatellite -probe, attached to the main satellite by a
thin tether, is assumed to orbit the Earth at a height of 100 to
150 km. In the dynamic analysis the subsatellite is considered as
a material point, while the tether is considered as an extensible
and ponderable flexible filament. Aerodynamic forces acting on
the probe and tether are considered, and it is noted that the
stationary motions of the system consist in its uniform revolution
as a rigid body about the Earth . The stability of these stationary
motions is analyzed, and it is shown that constraints imposed on
the tether parameters by the stability requirement are more rigorous
than constraints on tether strength . IAA

Integrated Power and Attitude Control System ( IPACS ) studies
performed over a decade ago established the feasibility of
simultaneously satisfying the demands of energy storage and
attitude control through the use of rotating flywheels . It was
demonstrated that, for a wide spectrum of applications, such a
system possessed many advantages over contemporary energy
storage and attitude control approaches. More recent technology
advances in composite material rotors, magnetic suspension
systems, and power control electronics have triggered new
optimism regarding the applicability and merits of this concept.
This study is undertaken to define an advanced IPACS and to
evaluate its merits for a space station application. System and
component designs are developed to establish the performance
of this concept and system trade studies conducted to examine
the viability of this approach relative to conventional candidate
systems . It is clearly demonstrated that an advanced IPACS
concept is not only feasible, but also offers substantial savings in
mass and life - cycle cost for the space station mission . Author

An analysis is performed to compare decoupled and linear
quadratic regulator (LQR ) procedures for the control of a large,
flexible space antenna. Control objectives involve: ( 1 ) commanding
changes in the rigid -body modes, (2) nulling initial disturbances in
the rigid -body modes, or (3) nulling initial disturbances in the first
three flexible modes. Control is achieved with two three-axis
control-moment gyros located on the antenna column. Results
are presented to illustrate various effects on control requirements
for the two procedures. These effects include errors in the initial
estimates of state variables, variations in the type, number, and
location of sensors, and deletions of state -variable estimates for
certain flexible modes after control activation. The advantages of
incorporating a time lag in the control feedback are also illustrated.
In addition , the effects of inoperative- control situations are analyzed

Of all large space structural systems, space stations present a
unique challenge and requirement to advanced control technology.
Their operations require control system stability over an extremely
broad range of parameter changes and high level of disturbances.
During shuttle docking the system mass may suddenly increase
by more than 100% and during station assembly the mass may
vary even more drastically. These coupled with the inherent
dynamic model uncertainties associated with large space structural
systems require highly sophisticated control systems that can grow
as the stations evolve and cope with the uncertainties and
time-varying elements to maintain the stability and pointing of the
space stations. The aspects of space station operational properties
are first examined, including configurations, dynamic models, shuttle
docking contact dynamics , solar panel interaction, and load
reduction to yield a set of system models and conditions. A model
reference adaptive control algorithm along with the inner-loop plant
augmentation design for controlling the space stations under severe
operational conditions of shuttle docking , excessive model
parameter errors, and model truncation are then investigated. The
instability problem caused by the zero-frequency rigid body modes
and a proposed solution using plant augmentation are addressed.
Two sets of sufficient conditions which guarantee the globablly
asymptotic stability for the space station systems are obtained.

The results of preliminary design and analysis studies of damped
spacecraft equipment mounting panels is presented. Increased
vibroacoustic reliability and reduced program development costs
can be achieved by controlling spacecraft equipment vibration
during launch. To reduce the significant number of anomalies which
occur shortly after launch, component vibration requirements have
been increased to provide larger margins. This has resulted in a
large number of vibroacoustic test failures during qualification and
acceptance tests. A $ 40 million cost saving is estimated using
the OCTAVE code if the equipment vibration environment is
reduced 50 percent for an operational satellite system using a

A control system design approach for flexible spacecraft is
presented. The control system design is carried out in two steps.
The first step consists of determining the ideal control system in
terms of a desirable dynamic performance. The second step
consists of designing a control system using a limited number of
actuators that possess a dynamic performance that is close to
the ideal dynamic performance. The effects of using a limited
number of actuators is that the actual closed - loop eigenvalues
differ from the ideal closed-loop eigenvalues. A method is presented
to approximate the actual closed -loop eigenvalues so that the
calculation of the actual closed-loop eigenvalues can be avoided.
Depending on the application, it also may be desirable to apply
the control forces as impulses. The effect of digitizing the control
to produce the appropriate impulses is also examined . Author

meteorology. The second category is in the multi-megawatt range
for either continuous or burst power durations and are for other
than solar power sources . Requirements for longer life and
survivability in varying degrees are there for all systems. While
the power levels do not appear difficult to achieve in view of the
large array developments pursued by NASA Space Station

and continue to be system drivers. The development of solar cells

The development of compensators for large space structures
is posed as a problem in robust control system design. A
methodology is developed for the design of compensators which
shape the system loop gain singular values. The frequency -shaped
control and estimation theory of Gupta, as reformulated by Kim
for measurement frequency- shaping, has been extended to include
frequency -shaping of the control law . It is shown that zeroes of
the control law shaping filter become transmission zeroes of the
compensator, and this result completes the duality of the
frequency -shaped regulator and estimator. To design control
systems with desired loop gain characteristics , a recursive
eigenstructure assignment procedure was developed. By use of
this algorithm , optimal regulators and estimators with assigned
eigenvalues can be designed. With a modification of the usual
regulator- estimator design method, the compensator can be
designed with specific eigenvalues. When frequency -shaping is
incorporated into the compensator, this eigenvalue assignment
feature allows the compensator to retain both the poles and the
zeroes of the shaping filter. Eigenstructure assignment of the
compensator specifically shapes the loop gains and can be used
for robustness enhancement. This capability is demonstrated for
several control systems, including one for a large space structure.

The impending use of large structures in space has created a
requirement controlling their alignment. Structures used for energy
gathering, such as antennas or solar energy concentrators, must
maintain accurate mechanical alignment in order to operate at
maximum efficiency. This paper describes a linear actuation
approach designed to meet the alignment requirements of space
structures. The approach is based upon using a fluid pump to
expand and contract two chambers enclosed by metal bellows.
The general configuration is valid for a wide range of force, rate
and stroke requirements required for different structure designs.

This report considers the problem of designing decentralized
control systems for Large Space Structures to satisty robustness
and performance requirements for multiple system configurations.
The problem is motivated by the fact that such structures will
have to be assembled in space. A partially assembled structure
will need some real-time control so that it maintains its station ,
performs partial functions, and damps oscillations during assembly.
Completely reprogramming the control computers each time a
subassembly is incorporated in the structure is likely to be
impractical. A more sound engineering approach would be to require
the same control system design to satisfy performance
requirements for the partial assemblies and to maintain stability
for the completely assembled structure. Performance can then be
restored for the full assembly by applying an outer loop
(hierarchical) control or adjusting the decentralized design
parameters. GRA

Large space structures (LSS) are large periodic lattice structures
being considered for space applications in Earth orbit. The vibration
and wave propagation characteristics of these structures can affect
their performance, integrity and the ability to nondestructively
assess that integrity . In this preliminary study, the wave propagation
characteristics of a tetrahedral truss model consisting of fiberglass
reinforced composite rods and aluminum joints are observed
experimentally. Longitudinal ultrasonic transducers are coupled to
the joints of the truss model. The input signal consists of a gated
sinusoid having a center frequency of 280 kHz. Because a
tetrahedral truss, a commonly proposed LSS configuration can be
constructed from basic repeating units of tetrahedrons and
pyramids, only tetrahedrons and pyramids are considered .
Tetrahedrons and pyramids are constructed by inserting fiberglass
reinforced polyester rods 0.193 cm (0.076 in) in diameter and
18.72 cm (7.37 in) in length into machined 2024-T4 aluminum
joints. Because a tetrahedral truss requires only two types of joints,
the tetrahedrons and pyramids are constructed using the two types
of joints. The cutting of the fiberglass rods, the machining of the
aluminum joints and the final assembly of tetrahedrons and
pyramids are done with great care to minimize structure
variability . GRA

( AOCS ) from the early design up to in-flight is described . Three
generic AOCS test classes, model philosophy, standardization ,
subsystem static test methods, subsystem dynamic test methods,

suggested that test scheduling should aim to find problems and
errors as early as possible. System level tests should be delayed
in favor of detailed testing of the AOCS (unit level) and in particular
subsystem level testing. Onboard AOCS software poses testing
problems, especially when RAM located. There is a shift from
airbearing - type dynamic tests to servotable - type dynamic tests,

The active damping of structural vibrations through the
application of various forms of velocity feedback control is studied .
Active damping will be required for large space structures which
are performance- sensitive to motion or inaccurate pointing. Several
control forms, including modal-space active damping and direct
rate feedback are analyzed theoretically, and three laboratory
models are described . A previous, unsuccessful attempt at control
is reviewed and explained . The remaining control forms developed
in the theoretical section were implemented successfully and the
results compare favorably with theoretical predictions. Each control
form is analyzed relative to its own merits and in comparison with

other methods. An important point is the stability assured by a
dual (colocated) configuration of velocity sensors and control force
actuators. Modal- space active damping is shown to be an effective
control method with predictable performance in controlled modes
and beneficial spillover into residual (noncontrolled) modes.

A methodology for incorporating passive dampers in large space
systems (LSS) design is presented. The methodology focuses on
modular, discrete viscoelastic dampers which are integrally
designed into the structure. The application of the methodology
to the LSS experiment, a laboratory demonstration of a structure
supporting a simulated optical mirror and subject to active and
passive vibration control is described. Performance evaluation of
the damped structure design was obtained by the modal strain
energy technique, based on finite element models in Program
NASTRAN. A parameter variation study of the damper's
performance was conducted, yielding , for the first three modes of
a nominal damper configuration, an augmented modal damping
ratio of 9 % of critical damping . This amount of passive damping,
which is an order of magnitude larger than the residual damping
present in the original structure, is obtained with a mere 8 % penalty
in structural weight. E.A.K.

A method to determine viscous damper values and damper
locations for a structure which has particular damping requirements
is presented. The method is intended as a starting point in a
design process. The finite element approach and concept of modal
strain energy are relied upon . The method was applied to a large
space- based telescope in which damping of optical support
structures is critical for tracking and pointing accuracy . It is indicated
that the method will yield the desired amount of damping a structure
provided that the complex mode shapes do not significantly deviate
from the classical shapes. The characterization of nonviscous
dampers is considerably more complicated than viscous dampers,
it is suggested that the method be used in the early phases of
design. If viscous damping values are known , the range of other
candidate dampers may be narrowed. E.A.K.

structural stiffness and structural damping as a function of important
physical parameters, a one-dimensional analysis of a typical joint
was dveloped. Two new nonresonant forced vibration test methods
(steady state and transient) were developed that are particularly
well suited for obtaining the damping characteristics of joints in
large space structures. The steady state method does not require
measurement of relative displacements. The transient sine -pulse

Quick, precise control of a flexible manipulator in a space
environment is essential for future Space Station repair and satellite
servicing. Numerous control algorithms have proven successful in
controlling rigid manipulators wih colocated sensors and actuators;
however, few have been tested on a flexible manipulator with
noncolocated sensors and actuators. In this thesis, a model
reference adaptive control (MRAC) scheme based on command
generator tracker theory is designed for a flexible manipulator.
Quicker, more precise tracking results are expected over
nonadaptive control laws for this MRAC approach. Equations of
motion in modal coordinates are derived for a single-link, flexible
manipulator with an actuator at the pinned -end and a sensor at
the free end. An MRAC is designed with the objective of controlling
the torquing actuator so that the tip position follows a trajectory
that is prescribed by the reference model. An appealing feature
of this direct MRAC law is that it allows the reference model to
have fewer states than the plant itself. Direct adaptive control
also adjusts the controller parameters directly with knowledge of
only the plant output and input signals. Author

The impact of particle contamination on spacecraft surfaces is
frequently proportional to the surface area obscured . The degree
of obscuration is calculated for the levels of cleanliness as defined
in MIL-STD- 1246A after clarifying the meaning of the size frequency
distribution used there. However, it is found that shocks, vibration,
and scrubbing can distort the distribution and introduce serious
error if small particles are not included in the measurement. Visual
appearance of a surface seems to be proportional to reflectivity
which is proportional surface obscuration. Thus, visual
appearance seems a more direct measure of the effect of particle
contamination than the quantitative measurements of
MIL-STD- 1246A. Author

photomicrographs made possible the analysis of the effect of
interaction. After a total of about 38 hours of equivalent normal
exposure at 225 km altitude the results showed that unprotected
exposed surfaces exhibited severe erosion and mass loss with
the possibility of seriously degrading structural and thermal
performance. However, the specimens with a thin fluorocarbon
overcoat showed promise of providing a protective barrier to the
attack without altering the base properties of the material. F.J.

the mission life from days to years. An important factor in the
extension of useful orbital life involves the replenishment of the
cryogen expendables by making use of on-orbit servicing. In order
to service the SIRTF free flyer, it must be retrieved from its orbit
and placed on the servicing cradle on the Orbiter or Space

A comparative evaluation is made of photovoltaic solar arrays
and several alternative primary power systems for space station
application which generally use solar collectors and thermodynamic
converters (solar dynamic) as main power plant components.
Results of the study show that the planar photovoltaic array remains
the primary candidate for space stations in the initial operating
capability, considering its highly matured state and short time to
implementation. However, as the station size grows, the solar array
may become inoperable due to a large area increase, and then
solar dynamic primary power will complement the existing solar
arrays and replace them beyond the 300 -KW user load threshold .
When the power demand surpasses the 450-500 -KW user load, a
nuclear heat source will be substituted for the solar
collector / absorber. V.L.

A logistics model of a typical space power system (SPS) that
may exist in the first half of the next century is described. The
primary inputs for this model are life cycle duration, power level
of the SPS at the end of the life cycle, availability of space power
units, specific mass of the SPS as a function of time, and power
level for a single SPS unit. The model comprises 60 equations
describing the interrelationships between the system variables and
parameters. This study shows that the use of lunar resources and

available chemical propulsion technology can lead to a substantial
reduction of the logistics cost to build and operate a fleet of
space power systems. The analysis shows that construction activity
could commence early in the next century and lead to about 100
space units of 5 GW power, pr ing about 15 percent of the
world energy demand by the middle of the next century . C.D.

radar, and the solar sail vessel. The major efforts of the
developments are focused on the design of blankets and the
design of systems including the deployment mechanisms. Marked
progress has been made in regard to the fabrication method of
large blankets. The method provides that the blanket can be
fabricated in a small facility, that the blanket is made in a folded

A NEW APPROACH TO OPTIMUM SIZING AND IN -ORBIT

(IAF PAPER 85-156)
This paper presents a systems approach to optimization of the
size and orbital life of photovoltaic systems via minimizing the
nighttime energy demand while maximizing the daytime energy
consumption . The Day-Night Management of Load (DANMOE)
strategy calls for sizing the system to a pre - selected day/night
average load power ratio and operating the spacecraft in orbit
within the day and night capacity capability, rather than the
conventional single orbital average power capability. Examples for
the Space Station and the telecommunication satellites show that
the reduction in their specific masses can be substantial using
any of the photovoltaic system technologies. The DANMOE scheme
may also be used effectively to extend the life of batteries on
currently orbiting satellites, and hence prolong their lifetime. The
paper also discusses other benefits at the spacecraft level and
the method of implementing the DANMOE approach. Author

An attempt is made to optimize the extent of concentration
and the temperature of a solar array with respect to the minimum
specific power per unit mass. With reference to experimental results
for Si , GaAs, and GaAIAs-GaAs solar arrays, it is shown that the
degree of concentration and the optimum temperature are largely
determined by the temperature gradient of the power. Thus, as
the power temperature gradient is reduced by a factor of about 3,
from 0.5 for Si to 0.15 for GaAlas, the optimum degree of

concentration increases by a factor of about 15.

An algorithm has been developed to calculate the radiation
patterns of a large reflector antenna for space applications. The
algorithm treats each panel in the reflector array as an analytic
surface having n -sided polygonal boundaries. The radiation fields
for individual panels are computed and stored separately, and
then added to yield a uniform radiation pattern for the entire
reflector. Numerical methods developed to reduce the overlap of
the aperture fields of adjacent panels are described in detail.
Calculations of the tangential field components of the aperture
plane are carried out based on the principles of geometric optics
(GO). Some radiation patterns calculated with the algorithm are
compared with patterns produced by other methods, together with
measured data for a classical Cassegrain antenna and the
calculated patterns are illustrated . 1.H.

Operating high -voltage solar arrays in the space environment
can result in anomalously large currents being collected through
small insulation defects. Tests simulating the electron collection
have shown that there are two major collection modes. The first
involves current enhancement by means of a surface phenomenon
involving secondary electron emission from the surrounding
insulator. In the second mode, the current collection is enhanced
by vaporization and ionization of the insulator material , in addition
to the surface enhancement of the first mode. The electron
collection due to surface enhancement ( first mode) has been
modeled . Using this model , simple calculations yield realistic
predictions. Author

The SP- 100 program is proceeding toward concept definitions
for a space nuclear reactor which is safe and suitable for civilian
and military applications. The selection of a specific design and
demonstration of the base technologies was scheduled for the
end of 1985, to be followed by engineering development and
ground testing in 1986. The main current uses / users thus far
anticipated are communications satellites, both military and civilian,
radar (and possibly laser) surveillance and remote sensing systems,
and manufacturing and other extensions of a space station growth
scenario . The reactor will weigh no more than 3000 kg and must
fit into the Orbiter bay with a payload and OTV. Three concepts
are still under evaluation: a lithium-cooled reactor with
thermoelectrics ; an in -core thermionic system with pumped
sodium -potassium coolant; and a configuration with a Stirling engine
to convert reactor heat into electricity. If the engineering analyses
and base tests are successful, it is expected that the flight
application phase can be reached by 1991 at the latest. M.S.K.

The Space Station will be the largest space system ever
launched, and the power to be provided on the station is to grow
from an estimated 75 kW initially to 300 kW or more. A number
of options have been considered for the design of the electrical
power system. Once the basic power and safety requirements are
met, cost will be the primary determinant of the choices made.
The electrical power system considered consists of three
subsystems, including power generation, energy storage, and power
management and distribution . Various options available for the
design of the Space Station power system are discussed, taking
into account power modules, power module sizing, photovoltaic
systems, and solar dynamic systems. With respect to nuclear
energy, it is assumed that a suitable low -risk power system will
not be available by 1987-88, when the technology choices will
have to be made. For this reason , this option is not further
discussed in this paper. G.R.

Issues governing the selection of power systems for long-term
manned Space Stations intended solely for earth orbital missions
are covered briefly, drawing on trade study results from both
in-house and contracted studies that have been conducted over
nearly two decades. An involvement from the Program
Development Office at MSFC, with current Space Station concepts
began in late 1982 with the NASA-wide Systems Definition Working
Group and continued throughout 1984 in support of various planning
activities. The premise for this discussion is that, within the confines
of the current Space Station concept, there is good reason to
consider photovoltaic power systems to be a venerable technology
option for both the initial 75 kW and 300 kW (or much greater)
growth stations. The issue of large physical size required by
photovoltaic power systems is presented considering mass ,
atmospheric drag , launch packaging and power transmission
voltage as being possible practicality limitations. The validity of
searching for a cross-over point necessitating the introduction of
solar thermal or nuclear power system options as enabling
technologies is considered with reference to programs ranging
from the 4.8 kW Skylab to the 9.5 gw Space Power Satellite.

A unique solution to the challenges of providing electrical power
for the Space Station is represented by the closed Brayton cycle
(CBC) power system . It is pointed out that with current technology,
the CBC system can achieve solar intercept-to -electrical-bus-bar
efficiencies approaching 30 percent. This value compares to
efficiencies of about four percent for a photovoltaic system. The
high efficiency leads to a reduced collector surface area. It is,
thus, possible to reduce drag in the rarefied atmosphere of the
low earth orbit. The solar CBC system incorporates a recuperator
between the turbine and the compressor. The generator is
integrated with the compressor/ turbine rotor. A component
description is presented, taking into account details regarding the
collector, the receiver / thermal storage device, the Brayton rotating
unit, the generator, the recuperator, the radiator, and the controls.

Because the NASA Space Station will spend approximately
one-third of its orbital time in the earth's shadow , depriving it of
solar energy and requiring an energy storage system to meet
system demands, attention has been given to flywheel energy
storage systems. These systems promise high mechanical
efficiency, long life , light weight, flexible design , and easily
monitored depth of discharge. An assessment is presently made
of three critical technology areas: rotor materials, magnetic
suspension bearings, and motor-generators for energy conversion .
Conclusions are presented regarding the viability of inertial energy
storage systems and of problem areas requiring further technology

A discharge propagation model which is consistent with charge
conservation, energy conservation and existing data is proposed .
The essential idea in the model is that ions accelerated by the
large fields at the edge of the discharge cause the emission of
electrons, further ion production and the consequent propagation
and discharge of the surface. This paper develops the consistency
arguments for three related models and compares the implications
of the models with existing data . Only one of the models survives

The observed arcing on negatively biased solar arrays exposed
to plasma environments is shown to be due to an effective charge
layer on the interconnect formed by ion collection from the plasma.
Time scales to form this layer are shown to be in agreement with
experimental observations. A quantitative theory is presented which
predicts arcing threshold dependence on plasma density and
external potentials. After breakdown, the discharge process is
modeled as space charge limited transport to nearby coverslips.
Peak currents and decay times predicted by this model are
compared with experimental observations. Author

The statistical occurrence of spacecraft charging at
near - geosynchronous orbit in daylight is studied with reference to
results of an experiment conducted on the SCATHA satellite. In
particular, it is found that: ( 1 ) the external current that creates
high negative satellite frame potentials is the high-energy electron
current from the electron population with energies greater than
06 ELECTRONICS
about 30 keV; (2) the electron current to the satellite from particles
with energies less than about 30 keV neither drives the frame
potential nor provides the current to balance the high-energy
populations; and (3) the ion current provided from the entire range
of measured ions is also not the primary source of the balancing
current. V.L.

The second Plasma Interaction Experiment (PIX-2) was
launched into a 870 km. , circular, polar orbit in January, 1983.
This was an auxiliary payload experiment designed to investigate
high voltage solar array interactions with the space plasma
environment. Since this as a low -cost experiment, the package
did not contain extensive diagnostic instrumentation. Hence,
interpretation of the data has proceeded at a slow pace. In this
paper the data obtained in the first orbit for both positive and
negative bias sequences has been compared to simple, empirical
analytical models to evaluate array performance and to compare
to ground test results. It has been found that the flight behavior
was in general agreement with the trends found in the laboratory
for the thermal and wake environment. In the ram environment,
the behavior was different than that expected in that there was
suppression of current collection at voltages greater than 100 V.
The comparison between the deduced plasma density for the flight
data and the available environmental information indicates that
the procedure used is reasonable . Author

Ground -based simulation and testing facilities were developed
to investigate atomic oxygen interactions with space station
surfaces which include a high kinetic energy O - atom source , a
sample exposure chamber and a high sensitivity molecular beam
apparatus. The sample exposure chamber is suited for surveying
materials for their O-atom reactivity through weight loss
measurements. The high sensitivity molecular beam apparatus will
be used to determine reaction mechanisms through measurements
of reaction product identity, translational and internal state of
products, and angular distribution of reaction products. The O -atom
source, based on the use of a laser sustained discharge ,
demonstrated O - atom translational temperatures of 8 to 9000 K
and is presently operating with 50 % oxygen in argon using 500
watts of CO2 laser power which is expected to produce velocities
of 4 to 5 km / s. One hour exposures of kapton, two types of fiber
glass epoxy materials, and MgF2 coated optics were accomplished
and preliminary results indicate that the coated aluminum optics
have very low reaction rates while kapton has the highest rate.

The use of parabolically or spherically -shaped mirrors is being
considered in order to increase the solar energy intensity on solar
cells. Their use will significantly decrease the size and number of
the cells needed for a particular application , hence the total array
cost. Questions arise, wever, regarding the long-term (five to
ten years) efficiency of these devices. Performance degradation
of the mirror surfaces might result from known hostile elements in
the low earth orbit (LEO) environment ( 150-350 nautical miles).
The degradation issue is addressed in light of present knowledge
of this environment. The following characteristics of the LEO
environment are identified for study: (1) the vacuum of space; (2)
sputtering by the residual atoms and particles in space; (3) solar
electromagnetic radiation; (4) contamination of the mirror surface;
( 5) atomic oxygen interactions with the surface; (6) bombardment
of the surface by meteoroids; and (7) irradiation of the surface by
ionizing particles (protons Using the best available information
for the magnitudes of the necessary quantities, a mathematical
analysis was carried out , where possible , to determine the
degradation in reflectance or other loss caused by each
characteristic . Otherwise , reasonable estimates are made of

This report summarizes the major results from the SCATHA
(P78-2) satellite charging monitors and discharge detectors. The
data show that surface charging , near synchronous altitudes, occurs
preferentially in the midnight to local morning sectors, as expected.
Evidence for bulk charging by energetic electrons is also observed.
The material-charging data show that there was a marked increase
in bulk conductivity of solar - illuminated Kapton with exposure time
in the space vacuum. Teflon accumulated a permanent charge
that slowly increased with time, and a quartz cloth material charged
to higher than expected levels; some of these material effects
have now been simulated in the laboratory. The statistical picture
of the surface charging and the resultant discharges and noise
generation show a close association with each other. Some of
the discharges are ascribed to possible bulk charging. The signal
amplitudes of the discharges are discussed and the temporal
character of the discharge signal is shown for a few cases. The
results represent a new baseline in our understanding of satellite
charging and its effects. GRA

A miniaturized Cassegrainian concentrator (MCC ) solar array
concept is being developed with the objective of significantly
reducing the recurring cost of multikilowatt solar arrays. The desired
cost reduction is obtained as a result of using very small high
efficiency solar cells in conjunction with low -cost optics. In the
MCC single element concept and panel concept, incident solar
radiation is reflected from a primary parabolic reflector to a
secondary hyperbolic reflector and finally to a 4 -millimetr diameter
solar cell. A light catcher cone is used to improve off-axis
performance. An element is approximately 13-millimeters thick
which permits efficient launch stowage of the concentrator system
panels without complex optical component deployments or
retractions. The MCC elements are packed in bays within graphite
epoxy frames and are electrically connected into appropriate
series -parallel circuits. A MCC single element with a 21 sq cm
entrance aperture and a 20 percent efficient, 0.25 sq cm gallium
arsenide solar cell has the same power output as 30 -sq cm of
11-percent efficiency (at 68 C) silicon solar cells . The MCC concept
provides the potential for a significant reduction in array cost due
to a 99 percent reduction in required cell area and a 30 percent
reduction in array area relative to planar array of equivalent
power. Author

processing algorithms and advances in radar hardware technology,
which allow significantly- increased coverage of land and land ice
surfaces. Beam-limited altimeters overcome the fundamental
disadvantages of pulse- limited instruments over these surfaces,
and allow considerably lower transmitter powers, though at the
expense of large antenna structures and severe spacecraft pointing
constraints . Concepts for antenna signal processing utilizing
multiple antenna beams to give increased spatial coverage as
well as improved performance over nonocean surfaces are
presented. Author (ESA )

The I-V characteristics of a spherical body of 10 cm diameter
were investivated in a large plasma chamber in which the plasma
environment of the electrodynamic tethered satellite is well
reproduced. The relative velocity of the plasma with respect to
the test body is 8 km / sec. Floating potential profiles are measured
upstream and downstream of the test body. The measurements
are made for a range of normalized body potential between -1000
and +400. The influence of an axial magnetic field on the sheath
potential profile and on the current collecting capability of the
body is investigated. The experimental results, compared to
theoretical models, indicate a key role of the Earth's magnetic
field in the interaction of the tethered satelite with ionospheric

Waves in space plasmas (WISP) utilizes powerful radio
transmitters and sensitive receivers to probe the secrets of the
magnetosphere , ionosphere and atmosphere. The scientific
objective is to achieve a better understanding of the physical

processes occurring in these regions. For example, audio frequency
radio waves will be radiated from the long WISP antenna, will
travel to the outer reaches of the magnetosphere, and will interact
with Van Allen belt particles, releasing some of their energy which
amplifies the waves. Study of this interaction will give a better
understanding of a major magnetospheric process, wave-particle
interactions. Radio waves from WISP at higher frequencies (AM
radio and beyond) will be reflected by the ionosphere and will, for
example, advance our understanding of bubbles in the equatorial
ionosphere which affect satellite communications. Author

The interaction of a high -voltage solar array with the space
plasma environment is investigated in a laboratory simulation
experiment. Discharges are observed to occur when the solar
array is at a sufficiently high negative bias with respect to the
plasma. The frequency of occurrence of discharge is found to
depend critically on the plasma density and on the geometry of
the array. The electromagnetic interference (EMI) associated with
a discharge is also measured. The amplitude of EMI increases
with the magnitude of the high voltage. Since the
discharge- generated EMI is of significant amplitude, its effect on
the performance of systems in space must be evaluated. Author

Brayton cycle gas turbines have the potential to use either
solar heat or nuclear reactors for generating from tens of kilowatts
to tens of megawatts of power in space, all this from a single
technology for the power generating system. Their development
for solar energy dynamic power generation for the space station
could be the first step in an evolution of such powerplants for a
very wide range of applications. At the low power level of only 10
kWe, a power generating system has already demonstrated overall
efficiency of 0.29 and operated 38 000 hr. Tests of improved
components show that these components would raise that
efficiency to 0.32, a value twice that demonstrated by any alternate
concept. Because of this high efficiency , solar Brayton cycle power

generators offer the potential to increase power per unit of solar
collector area to levels exceeding four times that from photovoltaic
powerplants using present technology for silicon solar cells. The
technologies for solar mirrors and heat receivers are reviewed
and assessed. This Brayton technology for solar powerplants is
equally suitable for use with the nuclear reactors . The available
long time creep data on the tantalum alloy ASTAR -811C show
that such Brayton cycles can evolve to cycle peak temperatures
of 1500 K (2240 F ). And this same technology can be extended
to generate 10 to 100 MW in space by exploiting existing technology

Graphite and Kevlar fiber-reinforced epoxy composites furnish
the bases for lightweight and dimensionally stable high frequency
antennas for spacecraft; attention is presently given to the problems
encountered in the fabric -reinforced forms of these composites,
since the bidirectional mold curvature produces a degree of fabric
distortion which affects reflector thermal distortions. A method is
developed for the prediction of angular change between fabric
warp and fill fibers as a function of position in a parabolic reflector,
assuming inextensible deformation of the fibers . Angular skewing
is caused by fiber scissoring or rotation . Since the distorted fibers
follow parabolic trajectories, the mesh angle can be calculated
accordingly . O.C.

This paper presents a summary of the work that has been

includes elastic constants , strength allowables, physical and
thermal properties. Data have been developed on RCA - 2606114

and physical properties were measured at three temperature levels
to simulate anticipated geosynchronous operational environments.
Design data were also generated on this material conditioned to
simulate the end -of-life (EOL) properties. End-of-life properties after
exposing to the simulated geosynchronous environment showed,
in general, a slight decrease in tensile strength, modulus and shear
strength. This degradation in properties is not expected to affect
the performance of the ultra high modulus material proposed for

Development of resin systems and composites that do not
require elevated temperature curing processes is desirable . These
systems were developed in order to provide a convenient way to
fabricate large reinforced structures without the necessity of using
tooling that is resistant to elevated temperatures, and thus making
it possible to use low cost mold materials. In addition , since the
curing process takes place at room temperature (70-80 F ),
essentially no strains are introduced into the composite structure,
and distortions caused by mismatches in coefficient of thermal
expansion of the tool and composite are absent. Mechanical
properties, thermal expansivity , and sandwich beam structural data
were obtained on the composite. Details of the fabrication process
are also described . Author

Relatively high molecular weight siloxane-ester block
copolymers were prepared by two different synthetic routes. A
solution technique was used to prepare well-defined, perfectly
alternating block copolymers while an interracial, phase-transfer
technique was used to prepare 'random' block or segmented
copolymers. The siloxane block in both types of copolymers
contained either dimethyl or dimethyl and diphenyl units. Structure
analysis by proton NMR and FTIR verified that the desired starting
oligomers and block copolymers were prepared. Due to the high
degree of incompatibility of the 'soft' siloxane segments and the
' hard ' ester segments in the block copolymers, a two - phase
microstructure developed at relatively low block molecular weights.
This phenomena was confirmed by preliminary TEM and XPS
48
results. A multi-phase system was also suggested by DSC and
DMTA studies where two thermal transitions were observed and
attributed to the components of the block copolymers. The DMTA
results also showed that several of the copolymer samples may

The construction and telescope assembly of the NASA's Hubble

the features of its construction material. Due to the hygroscopic
nature of the graphite -fiber reinforced epoxy, used for much of
the structure of the HST, the telescope, when in orbit, suffers
losses of water, absorbed during on -ground procedures,
accompanied by shrinkage of the epoxy matrix, and needs periodic
realignment. Using a combination of analytic, laboratory measured,
and in-space measured data, an operational plan for adjusting the
alignment of the HST is presented. The refocusing plan must
take into account the preceding ground environment, as well as
the prelaunch, lift-off, and predeployment environments of the

Interactions between spacecraft surfaces and atomic oxygen
within the low earth orbital (LEO) environment have been observed
and measured during Space Shuttle flights over the past 3 yr.
The results of these experiments have demonstrated that
interaction rates for many materials proposed for spacecraft
applications are high and that protective coatings must be
developed to enable long-lived operation of spacecraft structures
in the LEO environment. A flight experiment discussed herein uses
the Space Shuttle as an orbiting exposure laboratory to obtain
accurate reaction rate measurements for materials typically used
in spacecraft construction. An ion -neutral mass spectrometer ,
installed in the Orbiter cargo bay, will measure diurnal ambient
oxygen densities while material samples are exposed at low altitude
(222 km) to the orbital environment. From in situ atomic oxygen
density information and postflight material recession
measurements, accurate reaction rates can be derived to update
the Space Station materials interaction data base. Additionally,
gases evolved from a limited number of material surfaces subjected
to direct oxygen impingement will be identified using the mass
spectrometer . These measurements will aid in mechanistic
definitions of chemical reactions which cause atom -surface
interactions and in validating results of upcoming degradation
studies conducted in ground-based neutral beam laboratories.

The unprotected Kapton exposed to ram impingement exhibited
significant increase in spectral absorptance while sources of silicon
oxides and aluminum oxides formed a protective layer on the
Kapton surface providing partial protection from oxygen attack.
The unprotected Kapton exposed to reflected impingement and
both protected Kapton samples exhibited little degradation. Capture

The outgassing properties of materials and other considerations
on materials acceptance for space applications are discussed.
The uses of the outgassing data for the evaluation of important
performance characteristics of a space system are indicated. The
deficiencies and advantages of the ASTM-E595-77 test method
and materials acceptance criteria are discussed. Also discussed
are the advantages for the selection of the materials and the
uses of the data provided by the long-term measurements of the
outgassing rates and surface re -emission of materials. The paper
concludes that the results of the ASTM method with additional
derived data on the material properties can be used for the initial
evaluation of a space system's characteristics. Materials data on
outgassing and re - emission rates at various temperatures obtained
from the more expensive, long-term QCM and TGA measurements
should be obtained when a detailed analysis of a system is
suggested based on the various considerations discussed in the
paper. Author

Metal matrix composites are candidate structural materials for
space applications. Large structures in space encounter natural
and hostile disturbances, which introduce vibrations of a broad
spectrum of frequencies. These vibrations must be damped fast
enough for effective maneuverability and dynamic dimensional
precision. In the vibrational control designs of such structures,
damping capacity of the structural material is a significant
parameter. If metal matrix composites are to be used for space
structures; their intrinsic damping behavior needs to be clearly
understood and improved if necessary, through metallurgical
modifications. In this report, a graphite -aluminum composite has
been selected to study the microstructural features and
mechanisms responsible for dissipating vibrational energy. The
objectives of this program were to develop a reliable test technique
to accurately measure the damping capacity of metal matrix
composites; perform metallurgical characterization of the interface
structures; investigate the damping mechanism in metal matrix
composites ; and recommend microstructural modifications to
enhance damping in metal matrix composites. GRA

The properties of electrically conducting, semiconducting and
semiinsulating polymers were surveyed and their conduction
mechanism , mechanical properties, and suitability for spacebased
use evaluated. Correlations between molecular structure ,
conductivity , and mechanical properties were drawn , and a
comprehensive model of electrical conductivity in organic polymers
was formulated . Although the most widely studied electrically
conducting polymers are not robust enough for most space -based
uses, several commercial materials, including pyrolyzed Kapton
and polyvinyl carbazole, appear to have the necessary combination
of electrical, thermal , and mechanical properties. The main obstacle
to the selection of new or modified materials for spacecraft use is
the lack of strength, thermal stability, and radiation resistance--not
their conductivity. Several synthesis procedures are identified that
would raise the value of these properties to acceptable levels for
materials that have the required electrical properties. The wide
range of data reported in the literature can be reconciled by a
theory of conductivity in which the limiting feature is the rate at
which electrons are transferred between localized charges states.
Some of the new polymers identified by this model have been
prepared . They possess relatively high electrical conductivities and,

Compacts of boron carbide powders with specific surface area

2200C. Several of these powders were prepared by attrition milling
of abrasive grade boron carbide . Densification to 95 + % of
theoretical density could be obtained only with compositions that
had appropriate amounts of excess carbon. The microstructures
were fine grained and uniform but underwent abnormal grain growth
above 2235C accompanied by transgranular microcracking. This
grain growth could be inhibited by increasing the carbon content.
Mechanical damping capacity was measured by the free beam
and cantilevered beam techniques on boron carbide and other
materials. Methods to enhance the damping capacity in a beam
structure were analyzed. The flexural strength of sintered boron
carbide was evaluated and related to powder processing and

a frequency range of 0.1 to 100 Hz. Though the materials are
essentially nonlinear, linear elastic and viscous damping parameters
were approximated using an equivalent energy approach valid for
specific frequencies and amplitudes. The linearized parameters
can be used in linear structural and control systems analysis

In the automatic assembly of space stations or the automatic
rendezvous and docking of a space -shuttle vehicle with a space
station , it is of interest to determine suitable guidance laws for
orbital rendezvous which are amenable to on -board implementation.
In this paper, various forms of nonlinear guidance laws for automatic
orbital rendezvous of two bodies represented by point masses in
a central Newtonian gravitational field are derived . A basic
requirement is that the approach be smooth and nonoscillatory.
The global dynamic behavior of each of the resulting feedback
systems is determined analytically and/ or by computer simulation.

The Manned Maneuvering Unit ( MMU ) was designed for
untethered astronaut extravehicular activity (EVA ). The MMU is a
self-contained vehicle, which contains all the equipment needed
for flight operations. By enabling the EVA crewmember to fly beyond
the Orbiter payload bay, the MMU provides the capability to
rendezvous with rotating satellites and stabilize them. Ground
simulations have shown that the MMU can also be used to rescue
disabled crewmembers in the vicinity of the Orbiter. The present
paper is concerned with three potential rescue scenarios involving
an employment of the MMU . The first scenario involves a utilization
of the Personnel Rescue Sphere to transfer crewmembers from a
disabled vehicle to a rescuing Orbiter. In the second rescue
scenario , the event is considered that an EVA crewmember became
untethered and drifted off into space. Attention is also given to
the rescue of an MMU crewmember, taking into account the event
that either the pilot became incapacitated or the MMU experienced
a disabling failure. G.R.

The physiological parameters that will affect EMU design and
operational scheduling for the Space Station Program are
discussed. The system must be designed to safely and effectively
handle the increased frequency of extravehicular activity projected
for longer flight periods than in the past. In order to minimize the
risk of decompression sickness a proper combination of
equilibration time to cabin pressure, suit pressure, and prebreathing
denitrogenation , is necessary. Effective thermal exchange is
projected to be automatically controlled and to have an 8-hr 1000
BTU/hr capability. Physiological changes due to adaptation to
weightlessness must be considered in scheduling for their impact
on performance / fatigue and in coping with motion sickness.
Radiation protection to the limit of 80 rad / quarter must be achieved
by scheduling to avoid periodic proton and solar flare exposure ,
and by additional EMU shielding. Additional EMU considerations
are the control of microorganisms and the higher pressure
requirement for emergency 02 purge. R.R.

Models of the shock layer encountered by an Aeroassisted
Orbital Transfer Vehicle require as input accurate cross sections
and rate constants for the atomic and molecular processes that
characterize the shock radiation. From the estimated atomic and
molecular densities in the shock layer and the expected residence
time of 1 m it can be expected that electron - ion collision
processes will be important in the shock model. Electron capture
by molecular ions followed by dissociation, e.g., 02( + ) + e(-)
yields 0 + 0, can be expected to be of major importance since
these processes are known to have high rates (e.g. , 10 to the
-7th power cu / cm / sec) at room temperature. However, there have
been no experimental measurements of dissociative recombination
(DR) at temperatures ( 12000K) that are expected to characterize
the shock layer. Indeed, even at room temperature, it is often
difficult to perform experiments that determine the dependence of
the translational energy and quantum yields of the product atoms
on the electronic and vibrational state of the reactant molecular
ions. Presented are ab initio quantum chemical studies of DR for
molecular ions that are likely to be important in the atmospheric
shock layer. Author

Series -parallel switching of solar arrays has been demonstrated
to provide high voltage power to charge capacitors using ground
use solar arrays. To prevent arcing on solar arrays, conductive
coating of solar cell cover glass is proposed based on the analysis
of space plasma interactions. The arrangement of solar array
modules to supply high voltage is studied , and it is found that at
least twice as much voltage difference as that of an array module
is unavoidable between solar array modules, and they should be
taken into the design. The concept of high power bus system is
proposed as an application of this high voltage solar array

This paper presents results of an analysis of low -thrust orbit
maintenance of the Space Station. Propellant requirements and
transfer times are given for reboost of the station through various
altitude increments. The reboost can readily be accomplished with
thrust levels that subject the station to an acceleration of less
than the desired upper limit of 10 to the -5th g's. The variation in
time and the probabilistic aspect of the predicted upper-atmospheric
density as well as the variation in time of sun -pointing drag areas
were taken into account. Estimates of the propellant requirements
at different times during an 11-year solar cycle are given . It is
shown that the amount of CO2 available from the station
life -support system is sufficient, over most of the solar cycle, to
provide the propellant for a resistojet orbit-maintenance system.

To define the best pump-fed propulsion system for the apogee
transfer maneuver of a geostationary spacecraft, a definition study
was performed on electric pumps deriving their power from the
solar arrays and secondary batteries of the spacecraft. The
propellants to be pumped were nitrogen tetroxide and monomethyl
hydrazine. The engines used in the study were the 400 N and
3000 N bipropellant engines, and the spacecraft used for
comparison purposes was Olympus - 1. As a result of detailed
studies of the selected candidate pump and electric motor types,
the shrouded centrifugal pump, driven by an electronically
commutated electric motor, was selected for both reference
engines. A mass and cost analysis comparison with the
conventionally used pressure-fed propulsion systems revealed
about 10 percent savings of the real telecommunications payloads
of the Ariane-type spacecraft at the same production cost as the
conventional systems. A preliminary design analysis of the selected

The Orbit Transfer Vehicle (OTV ) Network is proposed as a
new concept for the next generation space transportation system .
The proposed system is an integration of space based unmanned
reusable OTVs and fuel stations. The OTVs, dropping into fuel
stations for fuel supply on their way, carry out various missions,
such as satellite delivery, recovery, or other satellite servicing.
This system has some notable characteristics such that ( 1 ) a
single OTV capability can be greatly enhanced ; (2) the expendable
part is very small ; and (3) OTVs, fuel, and spacecraft can be
launched separately. These characteristics yield transportation
flexibility and cost effectiveness in the future large demand
environments. Cost analyses based on reasonable future mission
models, as well as vehicle cost models, are carried out. It is
shown that for a demand level larger than 25 missions / year, the
OTV Network is less expensive than current typical space
transportation systems. A new type scheduler which manages OTV

Network operations is also proposed . Computer simulations
including this scheduler's operations are carried out , and the
performance of this scheduler and the results of cost analyses
are verified . Author

This paper is a review and updating of advanced ion thruster

raising and on-orbit control of large space structures. The work
done in increasing the performance of existing thrusters is
examined , in an attempt to derive scaling laws for use in
extrapolation to larger systems. These are coupled with some
aspects of an alternative design approach, where techniques
developed for high current ion source and accelerator systems,
used to produce beams of energetic particles for heating plasmas
in controlled thermonuclear fusion experiments, are applied to
thruster extrapolation. The future performance levels, in terms of
beam current and voltage, thrust and power requirements, are
indicated. The applicability of such advanced thrusters to missions

An attempt is made to solve the problem of orbital transfer
between coplanar elliptical orbits. Pure propulsive transfer is
analyzed with the restriction of two impulses for the transfer. The
optimal switching conditions are reviewed, and it is shown that
the solution is obtained by solving a set of three nonlinear equations
for three unknowns. A semianalytical solution is obtained to the
problem of planar rotation of an orbit for the pure propulsive
maneuver, and it is shown that, for high eccentricity and rotation
angle , aeroassisted transfer is a fuel-saving maneuver. It is
demonstrated that complete circularization of the intermediate orbit
is not necessary in the optimal aeroassisted transfer. An analytical
proof is presented, giving an explicit condition for noncircularization.
A complete numerical solution is presented for a case of optimal
aeroassisted transfer from a low -energy orbit to a high -energy
orbit. C.D.

Operator Assistants (OA) are on-line expert systems which are
evaluated iteratively using human factors methods to validate the
level of automation. The OA is applied where there is a triangular
interaction between operator, the expert system, and the system
being controlled. A simulator (HORSES) is described which involves
the human operator, the orbital refueling system (ORS) , and the
expert system . The OA in this case is being configured using a
fuzzy set approaoch for the situation recognition process and a
canonical structure of the knowledge base. HORSES is being
developed through experimental trials, verification of a human
operator model and the expert system, and analyses of the system
logic relative to user logic and human as opposed to automated
diagnosis. Details of the process being implemented to define the
requirements and operational form of the expert system are

in the loop to aid in identifying when the expert system might fail

The objective of this paper is to describe some of the factors
that are being considered by NASA in the selection of the Space
Station Propulsion System . The paper describes briefly several
design alternatives under consideration. The emphasis of this paper
is on understanding the criteria being used by NASA , rather than
a quantitative evaluation of the design alternatives. Four system
evaluation criteria are suggested: cost, safety, technical readiness,
and opportunities for station evolution . Within the cost criteria, the
impact of the design alternatives on maintenance and resupply
costs is discussed. Safety is suggested to be determined more by
the nature of the propellants than the possible loss of the propulsion
function. Technical readiness is primarily an evaluation of the risk
of schedule delay, more than a concern over a showstopper in
the development of any of the systems. Finally, the opportunity
for station evolution is described in terms of the development of
an oxygen /hydrogen economy for the Space Station . Author

The feasibility and cost effectiveness for using solar powered

NAVSTAR Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites from LEO
to a 10,900 nm orbit were determined. The electric propulsion
systems considered were present and 1990's technology ion
engines using mercury, xenon or argon for a propellant. A systems
cost model which combines payload , power sources, trajectory,
and earth -to -LEO launch parameters with algorithms characterizing
the electric propulsion system was used . The least costly systems
which had a triptime equal to or less than 90 days were determined.
These systems were then compared with the PAM D - II, Centaur-G ,
and IUS in terms of total deployment costs for 28 GPS satellites
launched at a rate of four per year for seven years. The study
found that a reusable EOTV with 12 mercury ion engines powered

for 57 percent of the cost of the cheapest chemical system .

In May 1986, the development of the Transfer Orbit Stage
( TOS) is to be completed. TOS represents a new upper stage for
the Space Transportation System (STS). It can place payloads in
the weight range from 2,490 to 6,080 kg into Geostationary Transfer
Orbit (GTO) and deliver spacecraft to planetary and other
high -energy trajectories. Aspects of design approach and reliability
are considered along with structures and mechanisms, the main
propulsion system with its solid rocket motor, the reaction control
system , the avionics system , the airborne support equipment,
performance capabilities, qualification testing, production schedule,
acceptance testing, the Apogee and Maneuvering Stage (AMS)
capabilities, and an AMS system description. Attention is also given
to TOS/AMS capabilities, a TOS/AMS system description, and
Expendable Launch Vehicle (ELV) application. G.R.

Resistojets are candidates for space station auxiliary propulsion,
and should be characterized by both long life and multipropellant
operations , requirements limited by available materials . Grain
stabilized platinum is examined for use as a resistojet thruster
material. Use of platinum in other applications indicates it can be
used at moderately high temperatures for extended periods of
time. Past results indicate that grain -stabilized platinum should be
sufficiently inert in candidate propellant environments. Therefore,
compatibility of platinum -yttria (P/Y203) and platinum-zirconia
(Pt/ZrO2) with carbon dioxide, methane, hydrogen and ammonia
is examined . A series of 1000 hr tests in CO2, H2, and NH3 is
conducted at 1400 C and a series of 1000 hr tests in CH4 is
conducted at about 500 C. Scanning electron microscopy, Auger
electron spectroscopy and depth profiling analysis are then used
to determine the effects of propellants on the material surface, to
evaluate possible material contamination and to evaluate grain
growth. The results indicate that there is carbon deposition on
the surface of the Pt / Y203 and Pu /ZrO2 in both the CO2 and
CH4 environments. In the H2 environment, the Pt/ Y203 and
Pt/ZrO2 specimen surfaces are roughened. After exposure to the
09 PROPULSION
NH3 environment, the Pt/Y203 and Pt/ ZrO2 are roughened and
pitted over the entire heated area with some pitted areas along
the grain boundaries. SEM photos show grain growth in
cross -sectional views of all the Pt/ Y203 samples and the Pt/ ZrO2
samples, except that tested in methane. Mass loss measurements
indicate that Pt / Y203 and Pt/ZrO2 would last in excess of 200,000
hr in each propellant environment. However, in NH3 both Pt/ Y203
and Pt/ ZrO2 are severely pitted, with voids up to 50 percent into
the material. Pt/ Y203 and Pt/ ZrO2 are not recommended for
high temperature service in NH3. Author

Various thrust-vector -control programs are examined for the
transfer of a spacecraft with a low - thrust engine between
noncoplanar circular Keplerian orbits. The averaging method is
used to obtain the model of spacecraft motion; and the optimal
control program is determined which minimizes fuel consumption
with allowance for constraints connected with spacecraft rotation .
Calculations are made of the energy characteristics of interorbit
transfers from a low geocentric orbit to a stationary satellite orbit.

Fuel sloshing during slow rotation of spacecraft is discussed.
The theory for slowly rotating spacecraft is developed completely
for the three -dimensional case with no rotational symmetry.
Expressions for the axisymmetric case are also derived. The
three - dimensional problem (tanks with offset from the spin axis) is
solved numerically only for spherical tanks. Tanks on the spin
axis can have an arbitrary axisymmetric shape. The stability of
the system is analyzed. Two cases are distinguished: dynamic
instability caused by parameter combinations; and instability caused
by liquid viscosity. In the dynamically instable region , the
eigenfrequency of the satellite motion and of the internal rotational
motion of the liquid coincide. The time constant of the dynamic
instability is much smaller than the time constant for the instability
caused by the energy dissipation in the boundary layer of the
liquid. The control of the attitude motion of rotating systems is
easier for slow spin rate because time constants of the rotational
motion of the liquid depend directly on the spin rate and are

space station and the overall space station configuration refers,
for the purpose of this report, to a group of potential LEO spacecraft
that support the overall space station mission. The group consisted
of the central space station at 28.5 deg or 90 deg inclinations,
unmanned free-flying spacecraft that are both tethered and
untethered, a short-range servicing vehicle, and a longer range
servicing vehicle capable of GEO payload transfer. The time
phasing for preferred propulsion technology approaches is also
investigated, as well as the high -leverage, state -of-the -art

The Two Dimensional Kinetics (TDK ) computer program is a
primary tool in applying the JANNAF liquid rocket thrust chamber
performance prediction methodology . The development of a
methodology that includes all aspects of rocket engine performance
from analytical calculation to test measurements, that is physically
accurate and consistent, and that serves as an industry and
government reference is presented . Recent interest in rocket
engines that operate at high expansion ratio, such as most Orbit
Transfer Vehicle (OTV ) engine designs, has required an extension
of the analytical methods used by the TDK computer program .
Thus, the version of TDK that is described in this manual is in
many respects different from the 1973 version of the program.
This new material reflects the new capabilities of the TDK computer
program, the most important of which are described. Author

The Rocketdyne Orbital Transfer Vehicle (OTV) cryogenic,
rocket engine system , high pressure, liquid hydrogen turbopump
was designed with a two- stage, partial-admission axial turbine. The
turbine is basically two single-stage, partial-admission , subsonic
impulse stages designed so the kinetic energy leaving the first-stage
rotor is discharged directly into the second-stage nozzle at nominal
operation to minimize staging losses. Very little data were available
in the literature for this type of turbine design . Therefore, it was
decided to test a full-size model of the turbine design using
ambient- temperature gaseous nitrogen as the working fluid. The
60
tester design features a variable orientation second -stage nozzle
to determine the optimum circumferential location for highest
performance. The tester also features the capability to vary the
nozzle arcs of admission and incorporates quartz windows to study
the flowfield upstream of the second -stage nozzle using a laser
velocimeter. The test operations will probe the efficiency and flow
characteristics for three arcs of admission and the effects of
second - stage nozzle circumferential orientations over wide ranges
of speed and pressure ratios as well as the interstage pressure
distributions. Author

A propulsion module to augment the Centaur G -Prime and the
Aerobraked OTV (AOTV ) injection energy (C sub 3) was studied .
The characteristics and performance of a variety of Earth -storable
and cryogenic propulsion systems are presented . A pump- fed,
cryogenic 02 / H2 propulsion system enables the elimination of a
three-year delta V Earth gravity assist (delta VEGA) maneuver for
several planetary missions currently under consideration by the
NASA. This trip time reduction can significantly reduce mission
support costs , reduce spacecraft (S/C) life requirements and
potentially increase the probability of mission success. This study

also shows that an 02/H2 propulsion module , developed for
Centaur C sub 3 augmentation can be used with a space-based
AOTV in the return mode, allowing the reuse of the high-value
AOTV while still delivering the required high -injection energy for
direct planetary missions. The propulsion module performance was
estimated for a space shuttle delivery capability to LEO of 65,000
Ib sub m and 75,000 lb sub m. The required minimum thrust level
to minimize gravity losses was also determined . For several
currently planned NASA planetary missions, the Centaur G -Prime
injection energy is augmented by a delta VEGA maneuver. For
these missions, direct injection by the Centaur cannot provide a
shorter trip time than the delta VEGA injection trip time. Author

A study of near -term mission application of three electric
propulsion technologies has been conducted. Surveys of existing
and projected electric propulsion capabilities including system
mass, power level , Isp and efficiency were utilized. Space system
requirements for the next 10 years for stationkeeping, orbit transfer
and orbit maneuvering were used to support mission analysis
comparison. The three systems considered were the arcjet, inert
gas ion and pulsed plasma thrusters. Propellants considered for
arcjet systems included H2 , NH3 and N2H4. Stationkeeping
applications were compared on the bases of system mass, power
requirements, duty cycles, and thruster lifetime. Orbit transfer
applications comparison included STS lift capability and trip - time
requirements. The results showed that arcjet systems provided
the most effective means of meeting near-term low to moderate
thruster requirements. Pulsed plasma thruster systems must be
increased in thrust from the existing 1 -mibf thrust level to a minimum
of 10 -mlbf thrust level to perform stationkeeping of 5,000 lbm +

Advanced space propulsion systems are required to meet
projected Air Force needs through the year 2000. Most of these
missions require a large, on -orbit impulse capability. High specific
impulse (1 sub sp) electric engines can provide this impulse while
consuming relatively little propellant. An arcjet engine system, which
operates in the range of 800 to 2000 s | sub sp , is a promising
candidate to meet these projected Air Force mission needs. This
electric propulsion system is ideally suited to missions currently
under consideration, such as the Space -based Radar and other
space platforms, because sufficient power is already installed for
other functions on the spacecraft. Also, arcjet systems are attractive
for NASA near-term, low -cost Mariner Mark II missions to Saturn
and Uranus. Development of arcjet engines was an Air Force and
NASA-sponsored activity that proceeded vigorously from its
inception during the late 1950's up to the mid - 1960's when the
programs were terminated. This paper describes thermal arcjet
technology as it was developed over two decades ago and points
to the direction this technology development should proceed in
the future. In particular, operation with storable propellants such
as ammonia and hydrazine are considered. The performance,
applicability and advantages of these systems in terms of increased
payload and/or decreased trip times are discussed. Author

hydrogen density nH obey fairly universal scaling laws, plotted as
(PD / zeta) versus (nHD /zeta ), where zeta is the cosmic- ray
ionization rate and D is the metal-abundance enhancement factor.
Both grain and X -ray heating enhance the susceptibility of intercloud
gas to thermal instability, possibly resulting in the conversion of
intercloud gas to clouds in the inner disks of spiral galaxies. X - ray

NASA has chaired the Consultative Committee for Space Data
Systems (CCSDS) for the past four years. During that time, a
top -level, end-to-end reference model for space data sytems has
been developed that identifies the functions anad services which
must be provided by space data systems, and defines the interfaces
between major functional elements. A group of definitions for
standard protocols has been derived by analyzing these interfaces,
and a set of detailed guidelines for space data system standards
is in the final stages of negotiation among member CCSDS
agencies. Two guidelines that address packet telemetry and
channel coding have been approved and are being incorporated
into the internal standards of member agencies. Others (packet
telecommand, time code, standards data format unit) are in review
within CCSDS technical panels and will soon be submitted for
approval. These guidelines provide a mechanism for significant
cost savings in the implementation of space data systems by
allowing reuse of hardware and software for different payloads
and for missions, and by enabling the substitution of new
technology /higher performance elements at key points in the data
system without causing major perturbations in the remainder of
the system . Author

FORCE ON A COIL MOVING ABOVE A GRID STRUCTURE
E. H. LEMKE Acta Astronautica (ISSN 0094-5765), vol. 12, Sept.
1985 , p. 647-659. refs
The lift and drag forces on a coil moving above a plane periodic
grid structure are analyzed , with particular reference made to
transport system applications for large space structures. The coil
is approximated by two parallel wires moving parallel to the grid
tubes; the corresponding two-dimensional electrodynamic problem
is solved using expansions in terms of Bessel functions.
Expressions are derived for the lift and drag force as well as the
heat generated in the tubes in the limit of strong skin effect. The
varying magnetic flux threading the coil is considered, and the
thermal load of the coil is estimated. V.L.

The present paper is concerned with the Tethered Satellite
System ( TSS ) which is to provide a new tool for the Space Shuttle.
A number of projects based on the utilization of 'tether dynamics'
have been considered. However, advanced concepts can only be
considered seriously, after basic information regarding tethers in
actual use has been acquired. In the first tether mission, in 1988,
an electrodynamic satellite is to be dragged through the atmosphere
more than 60 miles below the Shuttle. Attention is also given to a
22,300-mile tower proposed by Tsiolkovsky ( 1895) , а
counterbalanced space tether system called a 'skyhook', and cable
cars (part way) to the stars . G.R.

The instrumentation planned for the polar- orbiting segment of
the Space Station will provide both real-time and long-term archival
data. It is expected that the instrumentation will include an X-ray
imager, total energy and electron detectors, a proton-electron
spectrometer, a plasma monitor and a gamma ray detector. Data
will also be gathered on the earth radiation budget, upper
atmosphere activities and constituent species, ocean spectra and
atmospheric absorption lines. SAR , scatterometer, imaging and
altimeter applications will be found for radar units. The
multiple -instrumented polar-orbiting platforms will permit

Fundamental physiological principles have been invoked to
design compatible environments for a space suit, Space Station
and the spacecraft used to transport the astronauts from earth .
These principles include the long-term memory of tissues for a
bubble-provoking decompression, the intermittent nature of blood
flow in the tight connective tissue (s) responsible for the bends
whose incidence in aviators has been shown to be related to
bubble volume by the Weibull distribution. In the overall design an
astronaut breathing a mixture of 30 percent O2 in N2 for 4-5 h in
a spacecraft at 11.9 psia can transfer to a Space Station filled
with the same mix at 8.7 psia and, after a further 4-5 h, go EVA
at any time without any oxygen prebreathing at any stage. The
probable incidence of decompression sickness has been estimated
as less than 0.5 percent using the present suit operating at 4.3
psia but the risk could be reduced to zero if the suit pressure
were increased to 6.5 psia. Author

Analytical models are defined for gravity-assist trajectory
changes for spacecraft passing massive compact bodies . The
models are applied in an examination of the benefits of lowering
a tether to an asteroid during a flyby in order to gain a trajectory
change equivalent to that from a massive body (planet). Direct
flybys yield velocity gains while retrograde flybys shed velocity.
The magnitude of the effects are a function of the proximity to
the body during flyby. This inherently limits the gravity assist
technique used around planets, which usually have atmospheres
and can have intense radiation fields. If a spacecraft could extend
a tether (such as to be tested on the Orbiter) to snag on an
asteroid surface, the potential trajectory / velocity change of the
spacecraft would be limited mainly by the tether strength. The
encounter physics are treated as a soft collision . Possible
applications of the asteroid tether technique are outer planet, Mars
and main belt asteroid exploration missions. M.S.K.

Several design features for employing aerobraking and

Recent studies have identified silica fabrics mounted on carbon

Aerocapture is best achieved with a biconic aeroshell design, with
the aeroshell supported by Al honeycomb panels and allowing
primitive aerodynamic maneuverability. The aeroshell would be
covered with thermal protection materials capable of elevated
temperatures of magnitudes that are a function of the expected
atmospheric density, the surface area, the entry speed, spacecraft
mass and maneuverability. Both technologies are concluded ready
for implementation and development costs are estimated for various
missions, showing that aerocapture will provide for greater payload
masses, except for a Jupiter mission. M.S.K.

The Phase A baseline for the Shuttle Infrared Telescope Facility
(SIRTF) consists of an 85 -cm diameter Cassegrain telescope,
cooled to temperatures in the range from 10 to 20 K to provide
background limited imaging for up to six instruments contained
within a multiple instrument chamber (MIC). Colder temperature
zones are also provided. A cryogenics system for a 15 -day mission
lifetime was first considered. In another study, the feasibility was
assessed to extend the lifetime of the baseline SIRTF concept to
at least six months, taking into account a mission involving the
use of a space platform or a free -flyer configuration. According to
the considered requirements, the optics temperature is to be kept
below 10 K for at least 30 days. The temperatures are not to
exceed 20 K at the end of the six months mission. It is shown
that by using solid hydrogen, long -life operation is feasible with

The retrievable platform ROBUS telescope mission concept,
derived from the German X -ray satellite ROSAT, was developed
to answer the requirements of reusability and cost effectiveness,
and of being able to utilize the Shuttle and the Columbus systems.
One of the key features that makes ROBUS an ideal telescope
carrier is flexibility, realized in three versions for different
applications (ROBUS- 1 , for short- term missions; ROBUS - 2 , for
astronomical long - term ( 1-2 yr) missions; and ROBUS-3, for
long-term missions which include an orbital transfer system ,
allowing ROBUS-3 to be independent of the Shuttle orbit) . In
addition, several telescopes compatible with ROBUS are available
and can be accommodated by a flexible mounting system. The
ROBUS concept can be modified for use in demonstrations of
the rendezvous and docking (RVD) technique, by adding a docking
mechanism, rendezvous equipment , and a power generation

Test results from the parts and component level testing and the
resulting system level test program for fourteen IUS flight vehicles
are discussed. The IUS program has had the highest compliance
with these standards and thus offers a benchmark of experience
for future programs demanding extreme reliability. In summary,
application of the stringent parts standard has resulted in fewer
failures during testing and the stringent test standard has eliminated
design problems in the hardware. Both have been expensive in
costs and schedules, and should be applied with flexibility.

The collision between artificial orbiting objects has been
predicted for the near future when the Space Station is operated.
The model of population of orbiting objects in the near-earth space
has been determined based on the data of registered satellites
and estimation of other debris. If the model is determined, a collision
probability for a certain size of satellite with known orbital
parameters to collide with other orbiting satellites and debris can
be calculated statistically. The collision probability is shown as a
70
function of orbital altitude and inclination angle of the satellite .
The change of the population of satellites due to new satellites
launching and decay of orbital altitude has been predicted with a
continuum model . The annual satellite generation rates were
assumed and periodical variation of atmospheric density caused
by solar activity were considered in ths calculation. The calculated
results have been applied for prediction of the collision of a Space
Station with other orbiting objects. Finally a result of preliminary
study on feasibility of an orbital surveillance radar to detect colliding
orbiting objects to take some action to prevent a catastrophic
damage of a large space system will be presented. In this case,
relative motion of colliding bodies to a target body is of our concern .
The directional distributions of the colliding objects will determine

be better than a factor of seven , making the signal clearly visible

The main features of two prize -winning architectural projects
for the design of a space station are presented. The basic criteria
for such a space station are summarized, and the choice of a
modular envelope for the design is explained. The interior design
and the way of life it accommodates are described . In particular,
a wide central common room favors group cohesion , whereas
privacy is preserved in individual cells. Inner circulation is minimized
and the space harbor is moved away from pressurized zones by
using space tethers. The interior arrangements and features to
improve the quality of relaxation are designed to ease the
accommodation to microgravity. C.D.

The Space Station Program (SSP) will consist, in part, of a
permanently orbiting facility composed of a mix of manned and
unmanned elements. To insure that such a facility will be an
operationally viable and productive one, capable of performing a
myriad of assigned missions, special attention must be given to
the following operational disciplines during the design and
development of the SSP systems and subsystems: ( 1 )
Automation / Autonomy, (2) Customer Interfaces/ Operations, (3)
Habitability / Crew Productivity, (4) Maintainability, and (5) Logistics.
In order to properly address these disciplines, from an operations
point of view, the Director of the Space Station Task Force (SSTF )
formed the Operations Working Group (OWG) in July 1982, and
chartered this group to develop the top level operational technical
and management approach philosophies and requirements for the
SSP. This paper attempts to summarize the results and conclusions
reached by the OWG after an 18 month intensive study effort.

The scientific Airlock is in effect a 'Lock ' which both separates
two incompatible environments - a pressurized spacecraft interior
and the vacuum of space - and provides safe transfer from one
to the other. It is a convenient means of rapidly mounting
experiments in space and after the required exposure retracting
them into the Spacelab. Its great advantage is that it can both
accelerate space research and substantially reduce cost. The
Scientific Airlock was successfully flown on the first Spacelab
mission in November 1983 and a second time in May 1985. This
paper describes briefly the construction and working principles of
the Airlock and its main features and elaborates on the experience
in operating experiments during the first two Scientific Airlock
missions. Further, a view is given on future Airlock application
and developments . Author

An electrostatic radiation shielding for manned spacecraft in
low - earth -orbit (LEO) is described. The shield consists of three
concentric grids having a net charge of zero. The voltage across
the outer pair was chosen to repel electrons and the voltage
across the inner pair was chosen to repel nucleons. The negative
grid is coated to absorb ultraviolet light and to prevent
photoemission , and secondary emission is minimized using a
grid / thin foil combustion . It is shown that the efficiency of the
shield increases indefinitely with size. Some favorable sizes
corresponding to different shield voltages are recommended. The
estimated protection of the shield for large LEO habitats and small
powered transport vehicles is several orders of magnitude greater
than mass shielding against charged particle cosmic radiation. A
line drawing of the electrode grids / support trusswork for the outer

While current VLBI observations are limited in their resolution
by the earth diameter magnitude, which is the largest antenna
separation available, as wellas in their information content, because
of the small number of antennas in use at a given time, the

Early R&D activities on the TSS carried out by researchers at
1 the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO) in concert with
NASA researchers are reviewed . The concept of a long , thin orbiting
wire serving as a ULF (1 Hz) antenna for radiophysics experiments
was first proposed in 1972, although the seed idea ws first
10 GENERAL
postulated by Tsiolkovsky a century earlier. The idea was soon
expanded to be a 20-100 km TSS with satellites at both end for
studying the radiation field surrounding the wire. The proposed
Project Skyhook encompassed a subsatellite orbiting down to 100
km altitude for atmospheric, geomagnetic and gravity gradient
research . Studies which have since been carried out are listed,
covering, e.g., electromagnetic wave injection using long, orbiting
tethers, tethers as an electrodynamic power supply , and the
dynamics of TSS constellations. In 1985 NASA selected a 20 km
long metal tether experiment for STS launch in 1988. The
investigations are now concentrating on electrodynamic power
systems and tethers as a means of extending instruments beyond
the outgassing environment surrounding a large space platform
such as the Orbiter. M.S.K.

An MOU between NASA and Italian research organizations
has assigned the responsibilities for the development, payload
integration, launch and operation of a Tethered Satellite System
(TSS ). The TSS will include a deployer mounted on a Spacelab
pallet, science equipment on a customized mission support
structure and a satellite connected to the Orbiter by a tether. The
satellite is 1.6 m in diameter and can weight up to 500 kg. The
deployer will be insulated from the Orbiter because of the
conductive nature of the tether. The first mission is to demonstrate
the TSS technology, perform electrodynamic investigations of the
interaction of the tether with ambient space plasma, and gather
data on atmospheric interactions in the lower thermosphere,
geomagnetic phenomena and gravimetric characteristics. The first
TSS will be deployed 20 km outward from the Orbiter and the
earth on a strand of tin -coated copper wire wrapped in Teflon
insulation, braided Kevlar and a Nomek jacket. The first strand is
designed to accommodate 53 N tension . The satellite on the end
of the tether will be a multimission platform for facile changeout
of the scientific package from mission - to -mission . M.S.K.

objectives, modularity and a requirement of multi-mission capability.
Engineering tests on the first flight will cover closed -loop and
man -in -the-loop operation , reeling out and in, scientific instrument
performance and stationkeeping. The TSS satellite comprises three
modules: a service module (SM), an auxiliary propulsion module
(APM) and a payload module (PM). The total weight of the 1.6 m
diam satellite is to be 66 kg. Up to three missions will be carried
out with the satellite, with follow-ups to the initial flight to include
atmospheric trials. Small thrusters on the satellite will permit
oscillation damping when unreeled from the Orbiter. Details of the
thermal control, the electrical power distribution , the on -board data
handling, and the telemetry and telecommand subsystems, the

Various experiments with tethered satellite systems (TSS ) have
reached the stage of being considered for demonstration programs
as follow -ups to the planned electrodynamic power system and
atmospheric missions at the close of the 1980s. All TSS operations
involve an initial separation thrust to a tethered object and then
begin transferring angular momentum from one object to another
while preserving the total angular momentum. The demonstrations
include tethered launch of an Orbiter payload to a higher orbit,
deployment of the Orbiter from the Space Station (SS), and launch
of an Orbital Transfer Vehicle from the SS. The operations can
be sequential, with the Orbiter providing the SS with an upward
boost while being lowered to an easier deorbit position, followed
by the SS releasing on OTV (or a repaired Space Telescope) to
a higher orbit while the SS returns to a more favorable lower
orbit. M.S.K.

A three-impulse, aero - assisted maneuver is used to change
the plane of a circular orbit. The guidance law used during the
atmospheric phase is based on the repetitive use of an approximate
optimal control law . The approximations include Loh's term being
constant, an exponential atmosphere, and a constant-coefficient
drag polar. Whereas the true optimal trajectory is flown at maximum
lift -to -drag ratio, simulation results for a parabolic drag polar show
the angle of attack becoming large near the end of the trajectory.
Here, the approximate optimal control rule is developed for an
elliptic polar which has maximum lift coefficient and higher values
of the drag coefficient at high values of the lift coefficient than
the parabolic polar. Simulation results show that the angle of attack
still increases to high values near the end of the trajectory and
that, overall , the parabolic drag polar produces better results.
Finally, it is shown that Loh's term is not constant over the ascent
portion of the atmospheric turn and is the probable cause of high
angles of attack. However, the guidance laws developed by
assuming Loh's term to be constant work well . Author

A numerical study is presented of the dynamics of a tethered
elevator system (TES ) for exploiting the gravity gradient in the
space environment from the Manned Space Station (MSS ). The
study includes a 5 d.o.f. model for simulating the dynamics of a
system composed of the MSS, the tether, an elevator travelling
the tether, and a science and technology platform (SATP ) at the
far end. The elevator would move along the tether, thereby being
able to change its microgravity environment from 0.01-0.00001 g .
Attention is given to the dynamics involved in transferring a parcel
from the MSS to the SATP on the TES. Consideration is limited
to motions induced in the orbit plane. The kinetic energy of the
system is obtained, the Lagrangian is derived, and a control logic
is introduced for the resulting motions. Attention is also given to
the effects of tether elasticity. M.S.K.

In this paper, a space station , operating in a 400 km polar
orbit, is used to review and evalute possible environmental
interactions. The polar orbit was chosen because the naturally
occurring environmental variations, coupled with both known and
suspected size interactions, produced a more severe case for
consideration . The interactions of concern are auroral beam
charging in high latitudes, high voltage solar array operations,
atomic oxygen attack on surfaces, meteoroid and debris damage,
variable magnetic field effects and fluctuating environment effects.
A review of the low earth environments and the resulting hazardous
spacecraft interactions, as well as possible mitigation techniques,
will be discussed . Author

The advent of the Space Station Program has provided an
unexpected opportunity for the Astrometric Telescope Facility (ATF)
study program by providing a potential long -duration on -orbit
serviceable platform . It required a concept change for ATF from a
free-flyer observatory to a Space- Station -based Observatory. The
program was sent in this new direction at the start of fiscal year
1985, and program plans including study schedules and science
and technical requirements are being revised and defined . The
facility is designed to be versatile and capable of fulfilling the
primary goal of planet detection, and to be highly useful for other
astrophysics observations. Basically the ATF observing program
is a long-duration plan requiring repetitive observations of single
stars over a one to two decade period. These repetitive
observations are needed to provide data necessary to conclusively
determine the existence (or nonexistence) of planets of the Uranus
and Neptune class in extrasolar planetary systems. Author

It is pointed out that the energy needs of spacecraft over the
last 25 years have been met by photovoltaic arrays with batteries,
primary fuel cells , and radioisotope thermoelectric generators
(RTG). However, it might be difficult to satisty energy requirements
for the next generation of space missions with the currently used
energy sources . Applications studies have emphasized the need
for a lighter, cheaper, and more compact high -energy source than
the scaling up of current technologies would permit . These
requirements could be satisfied by a nuclear reactor power system .
The joint NASA /DOD / DOE SP - 100 program is to explore and
evaluate this option . Critical elements of the technology are also
to be developed, taking into account space reactor systems of
the 100 kW class . The present paper is concerned with some of
the civil mission categories and concepts which are enabled or
significantly enhanced by the performance characteristics of a
nuclear reactor energy system . G.R.

There is renewed national interest in developing nuclear space
power generation technology for the 1990s. The program objective
calls for a prototype 100 kW unit in space by 1995. One conceptual
design envisions a unit of approximately 3000 kg with a 6 meter
length and 4 1/2 meter diameter. The nuclear subsystem mass
( reactor, heat pipes and radiation shield) accounts for approximately
70 percent of the power unit's weight. Airborne Support Equipment
(ASE) includes the cargo bay cradles to support the space power
system within the Space Transportation System (STS) Orbiter cargo
bay. Department of Defense (DOD) potential applications for
nuclear space power include directed-energy weapons, electronics
jamming, and surveillance operations. The National Aeronautics
and Space Administration (NASA) envisions such use in providing
electrical power for space stations, lunar operations, and deep
planetary explorations. This paper examines some integration
issues involved in using the STS and focuses on safety
considerations. Author

This paper addresses the complex reliability issues of a

concepts for a space vehicle service station demand state of the

and maintenance. The paper describes a preliminary approach to
application of reliability technology to future manned space
systems. An effective approach to minimal cost is a difficult issue.
A nearly failure free system is within the available technology, but
the initial cost is high. Lower reliability, more frequent failure, more
maintenance and logistic support raise operational support cost.
The solution is shown to lie between the extremes of the reliability
alternatives. Author

This paper describes four membrane-based subsystems to use
in the waste -water treatment system of the manned space station
being planned by NASA. These membrane -based subsystems
involve the recycle of the various wastewater streams and result
in increased energy efficiency. Furthermore, in these four
subsystems , the membrane acts as a barrier between the
wastewater source and the wastewater treatment and consumption
systems, thus increasing the reliability of these systems. Finally,
the membranes are highly impermeable to the contaminants in
the wastewaters and thus help to reduce the load on such
expendables as post-treatment adsorption beds. Author

The Space Station atmosphere is to have an 'earth-like'
composition , and nitrogen is to be routinely supplied to replace
losses. The required nitrogen is to be provided by an innovative
method, involving a catalytic dissociation of liquid N2H4 and
separation of the product nitrogen and hydrogen mixture . The
considered technique of nitrogen storage and resupply has several
advantages in comparison to methods using either cryogenic liquid
or high pressure nitrogen. One advantage is related to savings
with respect to launch weight, while a second advantage is provided
by the obtained hydrogen which is available for other uses within
the Space Station . G.R.

In theory, globes appear to make excellent maps. There are ,
however, drawbacks which make them difficult to use. It became,
therefore, necessary to project a map of the earth on a flat surface.
In connection with air and space travel, there is now a need for
accurate 'three -dimensional' projections. The considered
projections are not true 3D, but rather '3D -looking', perspective
2D map displays. Computer representations of space situations
provide flat two-dimensional maps and three -dimensional globe
displays. However, none of these display techniques are entirely
satisfactory in all situations. An investigation of alternate display
techniques was, therefore, conducted, taking into account a display,
called the '3D' hybrid display. Pilot studies were performed with
the aim to assess the advantages of the hybrid display for depicting
satellite situations. It was found that the subjects prefer the hybrid
display over the flat 2D display even though it does not significantly
aid their performance. G.R.

Eureca, the European Retrievable Carrier, due to become
operational in 1988, provides a technological and scientific link to
the Space Station era. It is designed to be recovered six or nine
months after launch by Shuttle. Eureca can then be re - fitted with
different payload elements and re -flown, having been designed
for a nominal 10 -year, 5 - flight life . The first is designed primarily
for microgravity experiments, ESA having funded five materials
science and life science facilities, which account for some two- thirds
of the one tonne payload. There are two other 'add -on ' microgravity
experiments and Eureca - 1 also carries instruments that exploit its
solar pointing, stable platform and technological capabilities. The
potential non -microgravity users distinguish three types of improved
Eureca mission to meet the needs of the astronomical and earth
sciences and for technology development. ESA is receiving
frequent enquiries from inside and outside Europe and serious
plans are already being made to procure at least one more.

The Space Platform is one element being studied within the
Columbus program for European participation in the U.S. Space
Station low earth orbit infrastructure. A potential for four or more
Platforms currently exists. Two would be polar orbiting Platforms
with different equator crossing times. The other two would co - orbit
80
with the Manned Space Station and fulfill astronomy and
microgravity rules. The Space Platform is proposed as a permanent,
unmanned, serviceable multi-user facility to which payloads could
be attached on a rental basis for as long or as short a period as
desired. The most significant advantage it offers is a reduction in
operating costs by sharing facility costs among a number of users
and avoiding the need to launch a supporting 'satellite bus ' with
each group of payloads. This paper presents current British
Aerospace thinking about the performance and services provided
to the user on each of the three Platform types being studied.

SPACE DEBRIS - A HAZARD FOR THE SPACE STATION ?
E. A. ROTH ESA Bulletin (ISSN 0376-4265 ), no. 44, Nov. 1985,
p. 63-65.
More than 3000 paylaods and an additional 12,000 objects
have been put in orbit since 1957. Despite the decay of debris
due to lower atmosphere air drag and subsequent burn -up on
re - entry, the growth rate exceeds 200 objects a year. NORAD
statistics, showing 50 percent of the objects to be debris from
satellite breakups, opens the question of self-regeneration of the
debris population from the large suspected quantity of potentially
lethal objects of less than 10 cm that are not trackable. The
need is pointed out for the development of advanced ground-based
or in -orbit tracking sensors and the reduction of future debris
through: minimization of the number of objects at spacecraft
separation, de-orbiting satellites for reentry at the end of their
lifetime, draining the residual fuel of the launcher's final stages to
prevent subsequent explosion, and increasing the debris decay
rate through conducting satellite destruction tests at low altitudes.
It is concluded that the hazard space debris represents for the
Space Station cannot yet be answered satisfactorily. R.R.

The development of the Instrument Pointing System ( IPS) as
part of Spacelab's experimental apparatus for open Pallet direct
space exposure, and its test flight aboard the Shuttle Orbiter are
discussed . The IPS is a three -axis -controlled platform with stellar,
sun and earth pointing modes, and a better than 1 arcsec pointing
ability. The development of an 'inside-out gimbal configuration
with the platform acting like a joint between the unstable Shuttle
and the inertially stabilized payload facilitated close to
hemispherical pointing and the adaptability for payloads of almost
any size. Gimbal axes torquers counteract Orbiter acceleration
due to crew movement and thruster firings, and facilitate target
acquisition and precision pointing, by command from a
crew -engaged computer preprogrammed for all possible control
steps. Carrying an experimental solar-physics payload, the IPS
correctly performed all intended functions and withstood launch
and orbital loads. Several anomalies were detected and
successfully corrected in-flight. R.R.

In the 1990s, space missions conducted by NASA and the Air
Force will involve the use of larger spacecraft with power
requirements two orders of magnitude higher than today's
operational spacecraft. As certain problems arise in connection
with large photovoltaic (PV) array systems, a more efficient method
of power conversion using solar dynamic conversion and integral
thermal storage is being considered. It appears that solar thermal
systems, using Rankine or Brayton cycle engine / generators, may
reduce the solar aperture needed for a given power requirement
by a factor of two. In the case of a utilization of such systems, a
highly reliable solar dynamic system design is needed . Work related
to the development of space solar concentrators has been
conducted by an American aerospace company. Attention is given
to collector design, optical design, performance requirements, and
design options. G.R.

COMSAT Laboratories' new approach to measuring the
degradation of solar cell arrays on spacecraft has been applied
to large number of spacecraft solar arrays in geosynchronous orbit.
This method was previously applied to the Marisat spacecraft and
has recently been applied to five Intelsat V spacecraft. Statistical
analysis techniques were used to fit the array models to telemetry
data with a high degree of accuracy. These techniques include
an analysis of longitude-dependence of the degradation of solar
cell arrays caused by geomagnetically trapped electrons that were
obtained from several spacecraft stationed at various longitudes.
All results indicate that the geosynchronous, trapped-electron
environment varies with longitude, as suggested by Stassinopoulos.
However, unlike the three Marisat spacecraft, which have remained
at constant longitude, the periodic relocation of the Intelsat V
spacecraft has made it difficult to pinpoint the precise manner in
which that environment varies. Author

A nuclear space power system the SP - 100 is being developed
for future missions where large amounts of electrical power will
be required. Although it is primarily intended for unmanned
spacecraft, it can be adapted to a manned space platform by
tethering it above the station through an electrical transmission
line which isolates the reactor far away from the inhabited platform
and conveys its power back to where it is needed. The transmission
line, used in conjunction with an instrument rate shield, attenuates
reactor radiation in the vicinity of the space station to less than
one -one hundredth of the natural background which is already
there. This combination of shielding and distance attenuation is
less than one-tenth the mass of boom-mounted or onboard
man -rated shields that are required when the reactor is mounted
nearby. This paper describes how connection is made to the
platform (configuration , operational requirements) and introduces
a new element the coaxial transmission tube which enables efficient
transmission of electrical power through long tethers in space.
Design methodology for transmission tubes and tube arrays is
discussed. An example conceptual design is presented that shows
SP - 100 at three power levels 100 kWe, 300 kWe, and 1000 kWe
connected to space station via a 2 km HVDC transmission

The anticipated progression of development for artificial
intelligence (AI) applied to future spacecraft operation is considered.
Research has demonstrated that Al software developement
techniques (and knowledge-based systems in particular) can be
used to provide limited spacecraft subsystem automation . A likely
progression will proceed to integrated subsystem control,
automated planning and scheduling, plane execution, anomaly
handling, and eventually autonomous spacecraft operation . The
ideas and concepts should be transferable from the Space Station
to spacecraft automation in general. Two systems are discussed:
ECESIS (Environmental Control Expert System in Space) and an
expert system for electrical power subsystems control. D.H.

The design of tethered satellite system ( TSS) for NASA Shuttle
applications is described . The TSS consists of a satellite module
84
which is attached to a deployer by a tether. The deployer is in
turn attached to the Spacelab pallet inside the Orbiter cargo bay.
While the satellite is not operating, the satellite module is clamped
to the deployer module for storage. Deployment of the satellite
module is carried out by thrusters and control of tension on the
tether during deployment is performed by a core equipment
component which consists of switches, an electron gun, a variable
resistor element, and voltage and current monitors . In addition to
the plasma physics applications of TSS, attention is given to
experimental applications in aeronomy, geology, seismology, and
remote sensing. Cooperative role of the Italian Space Agency in

Issues related to the design and possible applications of an
astronaut-tended polar-orbiting sensor platform for earth
observation are discussed. Attention is given to the Polar Platform
(PP ) design concept developed by NASA in connection with the
Space Station program . The PP is a carrier for a multidisciplinary
unified global observing system which will integrate a variety of
sensor instruments for solar-terrestrial, meteorological
oceanographic , and agricultural observations. The main advantages
of the polar-orbiting concept over conventional independent
observations systems stem from improvements in capacity and
reliability which are made possible by astronaut servicing of platform
sensors. The main sensor systems being considered for the pp
include a precipitating magnetospheric particle detectors away,
multispectral-imaging sensors, lidar instruments, and a
high-resolution synthetic aperture radar (SAR) scanner. Design
requirements of a ground -based Earth Observation Center for
processing data from the PP are described in detail. 1.H.

The United States Space Station program , begun in Fiscal
Year 1985 under significant cost constraints , should cause all those
involved in the planning of manned interplanetary flight to revise
their impressions of the cost and practicality of planetary missions.
The presence of the Space Shuttle, as well as arrival of a capable
Space Station , will provide a major impetus to planetary programs,
both by removing most of the real barriers to extended manned
space flights and by proving that significant manned space ventures
may be performed very economically. Author

The significance of the Space Station is examined with regard
to the possibilities it will open . The Space Station , as a unique
R&D facility, operation base, and transportation node, will not only
enhance deeper-space ventures but also enable entirely new
initiatives for man's advancement in space not possible before.
One large goal enabled by the Space Station could be a manned
Mars landing mission as a major national objective some time
beyond the year 2000. Since its principal themes would be joint
exploration and advancement of mankind in space, its scientific,
technical and sociological benefits would be of unprecedented
scope and magnitude. The Space Station should be regarded as

having a 'beachhead role in supporting multiple goals and multiple
users . Commonalities and possible synergisms between program
and mission systems, elements, and technologies of large new
initiatives beyond the Space Station should be assessed . D.H.

A lightweight pressure suit glove for the Martian environment
has been developed based on the elastic pressurization concept.
Elastic pressurization makes it possible to apply a mechanical
counterpressure to the hand which is equal to the pressure of the
air that a human would breathe in a conventional pressure suit. It
is shown that the glove offers superior dexterity and tactile feedback
in comparison with the Apollo A7L-B glove, and is less fatiguing
to wear. Covering the glove with a protective layer to guard against
micrometeoroids and radiation was found to be unneccessary in
the case of the Martian environment, and the hand need only be
protected from the comparatively moderate extremes of
temperature. It is suggested that a full- length pressure suit could
be developed on the basis of the elastic pressurization concept.

An analysis is made of various aspects of the electromagnetic
compatibility of satellite solar power stations during microwave
power transmission in the case of the decorrelation of amplifier
operation in the antenna system . A simple model is proposed
that makes it possible to evaluate various factors of the
electromagnetic environment and to quantitatively assess the
maximum admissible distortions of the reference signal. Particular
attention is given to the directional properties of the system in
three cases: ( 1 ) at frequencies close to the fundamental one; (2)
at the fundamental frequency with partial loss of correlation
between signal amplitudes; and (3) at harmonics of the fundamental
frequency. B.J.

ESA's Columbus space station program will proceed at first in
the guise of the joint US /international development of a manned
10 GENERAL
space station , but will eventually take the form of an independent
facility. The Ariane 5 heavy launcher is an essential element of
the Columbus effort, as is the Hermes orbiter, which will conduct
in -orbit repair, resupply, and cargo transfer operations. The success
of commercially oriented space station programs is acknowledged
to depend on ESA's ability to lead industrial efforts in a highly
organized and gradual fashion . The primary industrial interest is in
microgravity processing, as demonstrated during Spacelab missions
aboard the Space Shuttle. O.C.

The extent of Canadian participation in the development of

determined in the course of negotiations between NASA and the
Canadian Ministry of Science and Technology. While commercial
space applications are of primary interest to Canada, it is the
ability to service (repair or modify ) satellites or spacecraft in orbit
that may be of primary importance. A degree of US participation
in such servicing operations is expected. Canadian companies
envision arohotic servicing shelter for spacecraft with removable

antenna program was the structural tests and the characterization
of the surface accuracy of the deployed mesh surface. The overall
system performance of the 15 -meter antenna was obtained during

The concept and performance of (SAMSI) Spacecraft Array
for Michelson Spatial interferometry, an orbiting spatial
interferometer comprised of three free-flying spacecraft, two
collector telescopes and a central mixing station are described. In
the one -dimensional interferometry mode orbits exist which provide
natural scanning of the baseline. These orbits place extremely
small demands on thrusters and fuel consumption. Resolution of
0.00001 arcsecond and magnitude limits of my 15 to 20 are
achievable in a single orbit. In the imaging mode, SAMSI could
synthesize images equivalent to those produced by equal diameter
filled apertures in space, making use of the fuel resupply capability
of a space station. Simulations indicate that image reconstruction
can be performed with milliarcsecond resolution to a visual
magnitude 12 in 12 hr of spiral scanning integration time.

The spaceborne Coherent Optical System of Modular Imaging
Collectors (COSMIC) is presented. It has high angular resolution
and can produce images of complex, low -surface -brightness objects
such as distant galaxies. If configured as a 36 m filled linear
array, COSMIC can have 15 times better angular resolution and
10 times greater collecting area than the Space Telescope.
Alternatively, if the collecting area is spread out to create an
unfilled two-dimensional array, there is the additional advantage
of not needing to rotate the array in order to build up a
reconstructed image. Considerations which led to the design
concept, scientific goals, and the potentially useful role of a space
station for assembly are discussed. Author (ESA)

recaptured by the central station . The attitude change to another
source can be performed with the rigid configuration .

Minimum satellite separations are calculated which satisfy a
given carrier - to - interference protection ratio for the Fixed -Satellite
Service (FSS) on a single -entry basis, assuming circular antenna
beams. The results are presented in the form of universal contour
curves, in which antenna -centered angles are the coordinates,
and also in terms of the more conventional longitude and latitude
separations. It is shown that orbit capacity increases with
decreasing service -area size and that, for practical service areas,
capacity is increased if the longitude of a satellite does not differ
too greatly from that of the service area it serves. Author

The results of a 3 month preliminary design and analysis effort
is presented. The configuration that emerged consists of a very
stiff deployable truss structure with an overall triangular cross
section having universal modules attached at the apexes. Sufficient
analysis was performed to show feasibility of the configuration .
An evaluation of the structure shows that desirable attributes of
the configuration are: ( 1 ) the solar cells, radiators, and antennas
will be mounted to stiff structure to minimize control problems
during orbit maintenance and correction, docking, and attitude
control; (2) large flat areas are available for mounting and servicing
of equipment; (3) Large mass items can be mounted near the
center of gravity of the system to minimize gravity gradient torques;
(4) the trusses are lightweight structures and can be transported
into orbit in one Shuttle flight; (5) the trusses are expandable and
will require a minimum of EVA; and (6) the modules are anticipated
to be structurally identical except for internal equipment to minimize
cost. Author

The objective of the research has been to study the design of
adaptive /learning control systems for the control of large flexible
structures. In the first activity an adaptive / learning control
methodology for flexible space structures was investigated. The
approach was based on using a modal model of the flexible
structure dynamics and an output- error identification scheme to
identity modal parameters. In the second activity, a least-squares
identification scheme was proposed for estimating both modal
parameters and modal-to-actuator and modal - to - sensor shape
functions. The technique was applied to experimental data obtained
from the NASA Langley beam experiment. In the third activity, a
separable nonlinear least-squares approach was developed for
estimating the number of excited modes, shape functions, modal
parameters, and modal amplitude and velocity time functions for
a flexible structure . In the final research activity, a dual-adaptive
control strategy was developed for regulating the modal dynamics
and identifying modal parameters of a flexible structure. A min -max
approach was used for finding an input to provide modal parameter
identification while not exceeding reasonable bounds on modal
displacement B.W.

partners - Canada, European Space Agency (ESA ), and Japan.
The international partners are performing parallel Phase B
preliminary design studies, concurrent with the U.S. , on their
proposed elements / systems for possible integration and operation
with the U.S. Space Station System complex. During the 21-month
Space Station Phase B study, a large amount of technical interface
data will have to be transferred between the U.S. and the
international partners. Scheduled bilateral technical coordination
meetings will also be held. The coordination and large number of
interfaces required to integrate the international requirements into
the Space Station require a clean interface management
organizational structure and operation procedures to accomplish
the integration task . The international coordination management
organizational structure, management tools, and communications
network are discussed including the proposed international
elements / systems being studied by the international partners.

The space station data management system involves networks
of computing resources that must work cooperatively and reliably
over an indefinite life span. This program requires a long schedule
of modular growth and an even longer period of maintenance and
operation. The development and operation of space station
computing resources will involve a spectrum of systems and
software life cycle activities distributed across a variety of hosts,
an integration, verification , and validation host with test bed, and
distributed targets. The requirement for the early establishment
and use of an apporopriate Computer Systems and Software
Engineering Support Environment is identified. This environment
will support the Research and Development Productivity challenges
presented by the space station computing system. Author

A method based on a sequence of modified modal
transformations for numerical simulation of the dynamics of flexible
spacecraft equipped with actuators and sensors was developed .
The spacecraft assembly is treated as a sampled data system ,
characterized by locally constant inputs and by outputs at discrete
times. The result consists of a system of exact difference equations,
which describes the transition of the spacecraft assembly state
from one point in time to the next. In this manner, the usual
numerical integration of the differential equations of the spacecraft
assembly is replaced by exact, numerical, discrete propagation
with difference equations. The associated time interval is
determined mainly by measurement times, control update times ,
and measurement and system noise simulation requirements.

mid- 1990s IOC . This paper presents the results of a study
conducted by General Dynamics Convair Division , under contract
to Aerojet Tech Systems Company for NASA- LERC, to define
requirements, interface conditions, and operational design criteria
for new LO2 / LH2 propulsion systems applicable to future Orbit
Transfer Vehicles, and to assess the impacts of space basing,
man rating , and low-g transfer on propulsion system design
requirements. The primary study emphasis was to determine what
the OTV engine thrust level should be, how many engines are
required on the OTV, and how the OTV engine should be designed.
This was accomplished by evaluating planned OTV missions and
concepts to determine the requirements for the OTV propulsion
system , conducting tradeoffs and comparisons to optimize OTV
capability, and evaluating reliability and maintenance to determine
the recommended OTV engine design for future development.

Many potential strategies exist for the transfer of spacecraft
from low Earth orbit (LEO) to geosynchronous (GEO) orbit. One
strategy has generally been utilized , that being a single impulsive
burn at perigee and a GEO insertion burn at apogee. Multiple
burn strategies were discussed for orbit transfer vehicles (OTVS)
but the transfer times and radiation exposure, particularly for
potentially manned missions, were used as arguments against those
options. Quantitative results concerning the trip time and radiation
encountered by multiple burn orbit transfer missions in order to
establish the feasibility of manned missions, the vulnerability of
electronics, and the shielding requirements are presented . The
performance of these multiple burn missions is quantified in terms
of the payload and propellant variances from the minimum energy
mission transfer. The missions analyzed varied from one to eight
perigee burns and ranged from a high thrust, 1 g, acceleration ,
cryogenic hydrogen -oxygen chemical propulsion system for a
continuous burn, 0.001 g acceleration, hydrogen , fueled resistojet
propulsion system with a trip time of 60 days. Author

The objective in maximizing performance for a space -based
Orbital Transfer Vehicle (OTV ) is to minimize the propellant required
to successfully complete a given reference mission and thereby
reduce launch and storage costs. Engine sizing studies were
conducted which examined the effect of engine design
characteristics on the total propellant required to accomplish the
manned and unmanned OTV missions anticipated for the 1995 to
2010 time period . Two propellant combinations, 02 / H2 and
10 GENERAL
N204 /MMH, were selected as baselines. Exotic combinations such
as F2/ H2 and 02 /CH4 were also studied to identify potential
benefits and growth capabilities. Parametric results showing the
effects of engine thrust, number of engines, nozzle area ratio and
payload requirements are presented for various reference missions.
The results indicate that the optimum engine size and thrust are
not significantly affected by detailed engine design characteristics .

A relationship is derived, on a single -entry interference basis,
for the minimum allowable spacing between two satellites as a
function of electrical parameters and service- area geometries. For
circular beams, universal curves relate the topocentric satellite
spacing angle to the service -area separation angle measured at
the satellite. The corresponding geocentric spacing depends only
weakly on the mean longitude of the two satellites, and this is
true also for alliptical antenna beams. As a consequence , if
frequency channels are preassigned , the orbital assignment
synthesis of a satellite system can be formulated as a mixed - integer
programming (MIP) problem or approximatec® by a linear
programming ( LP) problem , with the interference protection
requirements enforced by constraints while some linear function
is optimized. Possible objective-function choices are discussed and
explicit formulations are presented for the choice of the sum of
the absolute deviations of the orbital locations from some
prescribed ideal location set. A test problem is posed consisting
of six service areas, each served by one satellite, all using elliptical
antenna beams and the same frequency channels. Numerical
results are given for the three ideal location prescriptions for both
the MIP and LP formulations. The resulting scenarios also satisfy
reasonable aggregate interference protection requirements .

The Space Radiation Effects ( SPACERAD) Program is a
comprehensive space program whose purposes, among other
things, are to : (1 ) measure radiation - induced single event upsets
( SEUS) and total-dose degradation of state -of- the -art
microelectronic devices ( to include VHSIC and GaAs devices) in
a known space environment; (2) space qualify advanced technology
microelectronic devices for operational DOD satellite systems; and
(3) update the static models of the radiation belts and develop
the first dynamic models of the high energy particle populations
in the near- Earth environment. To accomplish these goals, AFGL
has developed a space experiment complement consisting of a
microelectronics experiment package (MEP ), dosimeters,
energetic -particle detectors, space plasma detectors , and wave
and field ( electric and magnetic ) instruments . The experiments
are to be flown as a package on the Joint Air Force / NASA
Combined Release and Radiation Effects Satellite (CRRES) in
FY87. The MEP will record SEUs and radiation degradation as a
function of orbital position , particle type, device geometry, device
technology, device material, device operating conditions, etc. The
other instrumentation will be used to simultaneously measure the
space environment. This document gives a brief description of

The LATDYN User's Manual presents the capabilities and
instructions for the LATDYN (Large Angle Transient DYNamics)
computer program . The LATDYN program is a tool for analyzing
the controlled or uncontrolled dynamic transient behavior of
interconnected deformable multi-body systems which can undergo
large angular motions of each body relative other bodies. The
program accommodates large structural deformation as well as
large rigid body rotations and is applicable, but not limited to, the
following areas: ( 1 ) development of large flexible space structures;
(2) slewing of large space structure components; (3) mechanisms
with rigid or elastic components; and (4) robotic manipulations of
beam members . Presently the program is limited to two dimensional
problems, but in many cases, three dimensional problems can be
exactly or approximately reduced to two dimensions. The program
uses convected finite elements to affect the large angular motions
involved in the analysis. General geometry is permitted. Detailed
user input and output specifications are provided and discussed
with example runstreams. To date, LATDYN has been configured
for CDC /NOS and DEC VAX / VMS machines. All coding is in
