3. Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer January 12, 2010Tim Urban / ESCG3 Baroswitch Electronics (BSE) – Design Evolved –Uses STS Standard Switch Panel 28VDC (less than one amp). –When STS PLB pressure < 15 mbar, a baroswitch closes. –This is a trigger to open a series of valves which opens the AMS flight vent, allowing LHe boil-off vapor to exhaust from the LHe tank, maintaining LHe temperature below the super-fluid Lamda point. –Time-tagged (180 seconds) STS Back-up Flight Computer Discrete Output Low (DOL) is a redundant trigger to this valve open operation. Redundant trigger is “Or’ed” by the BSE. The DOL, if later, will not undo the baroswitch trigger, and vice-versa. –Nominally occurs during powered ascent to prevent LHe contact on porous plug: Mission Success only – No safety implication. –Back-up plan would be for payload commands to open vent during an STS Orbiter +X maneuver.

8. Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer January 12, 2010Tim Urban / ESCG8 Inhibits are used to disable payload power prior to connector mate / de-mate (dead-faced). Two upstream inhibits have been identified for all STS and ISS power sources. These inhibits are STS and ISS vehicle utilizations that are enacted by flight procedure (OCAD).

19. Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer January 12, 2010Tim Urban / ESCG19 The AMS-02 payload structure is mechanically grounded, depending on mission phase, as follows: –STS – via the payload mounting trunnions –SSRMS – via the SSRMS / PVGF interface –ISS CAS site – via the PAS guide vane pins Payload grounds are designed for DC component of Class R (< 2.5mOhm), so the intent will meet Class H. Payload structure riveted joints have been measured in compliance with this – will repeat after integrated TVT to demonstrated no thermal relaxation. Electronics are assembled with Alodined links that ground them together – then bond straps ground them to the radiators, which are ground strapped to the USS.
