Satellite platform

R & D Background

From the satellite analysis of the developed success, the basic function is consistent regardless of what payload is installed, but the specific technical performance will be different. Based on this feature, many countries in the world have adopted design ideas of satellite public platforms in satellite development, making satellite platforms versatility, and adapts to different payloads within a certain range. That is to say, there is only a small amount of adaptive modification that is loaded with different payloads. The design method of this public platform can be shortened, and the satellite development cycle can be shortened, saving research funds, and improving satellite reliability.

Satellite platform (Platform), a Satellite Toad, is also known as the service module, generally divided into the following systems: energy division systems provide energy for the entire satellite; posture track control The system maintains the accuracy of the satellite antenna pointing and running the track; the propulsion system provides momentum for satellite lead, maintaining track and control attitude; telemetry, ranging, and instruction system and ground control center; temperature control system guaranteed satellite various devices working in a suitable temperature.

Composition

Promotional Subsystem

When the satellite is launched, it mainly affects the life of the satellite life is not the life of the electronic device but maintains the fuel of the satellite fixed point. quantity. In general, 25% of the overall weight of satellite is a fuel used to maintain gestures and tracks. Satellite designers have also designed satellites - more devices, fewer fuels in order to make satellites. Hughes-developed xernaugh engine (XIPS), the demand for fuel is just 10%, and the Panamsat-5 launched in 1997 is the first satellite with XIPS. Laura is based on the Hall-Effect of Russia's Hall-Effect or a fixed plasma engine, which will be used in French Stentor satellite launched in 2000. There are the same goal of the two programs, but substantially great differences. Hughes' XIPS is actually a engine that is much smaller, that is, the engine's efficiency is high to achieve less fuel, but because the thrust of the thrust is too small, it may take several hours of time, This is disadvantageous for the way to do track movements, especially for orbital inclination of the necessary time effect. Track Maping needs to provide large speed changes in a short period of time. Long-term operation has to consider the effect of the earth gravity field on the track. Laura's engine requires no significant need, structure and electronic equipment are relatively simple. If XISP saves weight and sacrifices time, the fuel use efficiency of Laura's engine is reduced but improves weight efficiency. Using traditional two-component fuel, the satellite consumes approximately 2% of fuels every year to maintain track, general life is 15 years, and the new type of propulsion system is used. The fuel used annually to 0.5%, which can make satellite life to 20- 30 years. The effectiveness of the solar windsurfing is about 1% annually, so the last life satellite will face power problems after many years. At this time, the life of satellites depends on the economy and non-technical issues.

Control Subsystem

Attitude and track control division system has various sensors (earth sensors, solar sensors, gyro, etc.), attitude track processors (computers) and actuators (nozzles) , Momentum wheels, etc., is used to ensure that satellite attitude is directed and orbit fixed point errors within the allowable range. Despite the development of the sensor for many years, it is possible to make the most meaningful to span from mechanical gyro to electronic gyro. For example, a laser gyro starting on the carrier rocket, the principle of perceived movement is to propagate the propagation of the optical wave in the opposite direction between a set of mirrors.

Recent Hughes and NASA Promotion Laboratory have developed a kind of "chip gyro", which is more simple than traditional gyra, cheaper, and simpler. The size is 4 * 4mm, less than 1 gram. Chip gyroceptive vibration of high-speed rotating micromechanical silicon, because there is no traditional gyro rotation structure and lubricating oil, this gyro's life should be very long. Even if you can't live longer, so light gyroscopes may make multiple packages as backups.

Temperature control system

The function is increasingly powerful, bringing a negative impact on satellite design, and electronic devices generate heat, and actually limit the increase in satellite power to no capacity increase. Power but has no ability to make the heat generated can be radiated (there is no air in space, the heat dissipation can only be radiated, no heat transfer). In general, only two of the six panels of the three-axis stabilizing satellite use only 2 to radiate heat (northern panel and southern panel), where the temperature is low here, which can effectively radiate heat, and install heat pipes and radiators in other locations. The heat reaches the overall balance, except for ammonia, in the heat pipe uses a higher thermal conductive effect in the mutual body in the heat pipe, and the extendable radiator can also be used to increase the effective radiation area.

Measurement and Control Subsystem

Measurement and control unit uses the Mature C-band uniform carrier control system, the tracking subsystem, center telemetry, center remote control and remote decryption machine. The upstream remote signal and the ranging signal are in the same carrier frequency to the same carrier frequency, the down-line telemetry signal, and the forwarded range tongue tongue sound. The

tracking subsystem includes two full-to-direction receiving channels and all-dimensional, oriented four transmit channels, four transmitters share two transmitters. The receiving channel consists of a full-to-peer remote control antenna, two receiving synthesizers, two reception preselect filters, two measuring and control receivers, and radio frequency cables and waveguides; the full-to-directional transmitting channel consists of two measuring and controlled transmitters, measuring switchgers and loads, Two TW-TA (shared with the forwarder system, the TWTA output power is 30W during the measurement, the power is 30W), two full-to-pending transmittors, the full telemetry antenna and the radio frequency cable; two measurement and control transmitters ( Shared with full-to-ener-directed channels), measure control switch group, two measuring and control amplifier (four roads), C output multi-worker (shared with forwarder system), C communication antenna (shared with forwarder system) and radio frequency cable composition .

During the life of the satellite life, the measuring control system always uses a full-to-directional receiving channel; the satellite transmits signals when the active segment, transfer track, fixed-point satellite posture abnormal state or directional channel fault; The directional transmit channel is transmitted using the directional transmit channel after satellite designation.
