Eric Blake Optimal Trajectory of a Solar Sail: Derivation of Feedback Control Laws

10 Recall Orbital Mechanics The state of a spacecraft can be described by a vector of 6 orbital elements. –Semi-major axis, a –Eccentricity, e –Inclination, i –Right ascension of the ascending node, Ω –Argument of perihelion, ω –True anomaly, f Equivalent to 6 Cartesian position and velocity components.

11 Orbital Elements

12 Equations of Motion = Sail Lightness Number= Gravitational Parameter

13 Problem: Minimize Transfer Time By Inspection: Transversality :

14 Solution Iterative methods are needed to calculate co- state boundary conditions. Initial guess of the co-states must be close to the true value, otherwise the solution will not converge. Difficult Alternative: Parameter Optimization. –For given state boundary conditions, maximize each element of the orbital state by an appropriate feedback law.

15 Orbital Equations of Motion = Sail Lightness Number= Gravitational Parameter

16 Maximizing solar force in an arbitrary direction Maximize:Sail pointing for maximum acceleration in the q direction:

17 Locally Optimal Trajectories Example: Use parameter optimization method to derive feedback controller for semi-major axis reduction. Equations of motion for a: Feedback Law: Use this procedure for all orbital elements

18 Method of patched local steering laws (LSL’s) Initial Conditions: Earth Orbit Final Conditions: semi-major axis: 0.48 AU inclination of 60 degrees

19 Trajectory of SPI using LSL’s Time (years)

21 Global Optimal Solution –Although the method of patched LSL’s is not ideal, it is a solution that is close to the optimal solution. –Example: SPI Comparison of LSL’s and Optimal control.

22 Conclusion Continuous thrust problems are common in spacecraft trajectory planning. True global optimal solutions are difficult to calculate. Local steering laws can be used effectively to provide a transfer time near that of the global solution.

25 Reflectivity Approximation Reflectivity constant, r, negatively affects the solar radiation pressure force. – P is the solar pressure as a function of distance. –A is the sail area being struck by the solar radiation. –u i is the incident vector. –n is the vector normal to the sail. Emissivity and specular reflection neglected. Assumed a Lambertian surface.

26 Sail Surface Temperature F solar is the solar flux. α is the absorptance. ε is the emittance. σ is the Stefan-Boltzman constant. d sun is the distance from the sun.

27 Transfer Orbits Objective: -Reach an orbit with semi-major axis of 0.48 AU and inclination of 60 degrees as quickly as possible. Investigated four possible orbits -Cold transfer orbit -Hot transfer orbit -Inclination first transfer orbit -Simultaneous orbit

28 Cold Transfer Orbit Advantages: –Very simple two-stage transfer. –Goes no closer to sun than necessary to avoid radiation damage. Disadvantages: –Is not the quickest orbit available. Order of operations: –Changes semi-major axis to 0.48 AU. –Cranks inclination to 60 degrees. Time taken: –10.1 years.

29 Cold Transfer Orbit

30 Hot Transfer Orbit Advantages: –Still simple with three-stages. –Is a much quicker transfer. Disadvantages: –Radiation is very intense at 0.3 AU. Order of operations: –Changes semi-major axis to 0.3 AU. –Cranks inclination to 60 degrees. –Changes semi-major axis to 0.48 AU. Time taken: –7.45 years.

31 Hot Transfer Orbit

32 Inclination First Transfer Orbit Advantages: –Very simple two-stage transfer. –Avoids as much radiation damage as possible. Disadvantages: –Takes an extremely long time. Order of operations: –Cranks inclination to 60 degrees. –Changes semi-major axis to 0.48 AU. Time taken: –20.15 years.

33 Inclination First Transfer Orbit

34 Conclusion Simultaneous transfer is too complicated with little or no real benefit. Inclination first transfer takes too long. Hot transfer orbit is much quicker but submits materials to too much radiation. Cold transfer orbit is slower than the hot but gets the equipment to the desired location safely. Choice: Cold transfer orbit!

Kory Jenkins Sail Support Structure Anticipated Loading Stress Analysis Materials Sail Deployment

52 Sail Sizing Characteristic acceleration is a measure of sail performance. Characteristic acceleration increased with sail size. Higher acceleration results in shorter transfer time. Sail size is limited by launch vehicle size and deployment power requirements.

53 Sail Support Structure Challenge: Design a robust, easy to deploy structure that will maintain sail shape. A 150 x 150 meter sail covers the same area as 5 football fields. (22,500 square meters) Solution: An inflatable boom structure based on the L’Garde design supports 4 triangular sail quadrants. Booms are deployed in pairs to minimize power consumption.

54 Heater: Raises boom temperature above glass transition temperature to 75 C. Inflation gas inlet: booms are inflated to 120 KPa for deployment. Cables attached to stepper motors maintain deployment rate of ~ 3 cm/s. Once deployed, booms cool below glass transition temperature and rigidize. Deployment cables retract to pull the sail quadrants out of their storage compartments. To sail quadrant To deployment motor Step 1 Step 5 Step 4 Step 3 Step 2

55 Estimate Worst Case Loading Assumptions: Solar Pressure at 0.48 AU = 19.8 µN/m^2. Thin wall tube. Sail quadrant loading is evenly distributed between 3 attachment points. Isotropic material properties. Safety factor of 3. Solar Pressure P = 2/3 P_quadrant

56 Analysis of a Tapered Beam Bending Buckling Shear Hoop stress (inflation pressure) Section Modulus

57 Expected deployment loads of 20 N in compression dictate boom sizing. Booms sized to meet this requirement easily meet other criteria. Verified using laminate code that accounts for anisotropy of composite materials.

58 Boom Specifications Cross-ply carbon fiber laminate. IM7 carbon fiber TP407 polyurethane matrix, Tg = 55 deg C Major Radius = 18 cm, minor radius = 10 cm. Length = 106 meters. Analysis of a Composite Laminate:

59 Conclusions and Future Work Sail support structure can be reliably deployed and is adequately designed for all anticipated loading conditions. Future Work –Reduce deployment power requirement. –Reduce weight of support structure. –Determine optimal sail tension.

85 Solar Sail Material and Thermal Analysis

86 Payload Panel Analysis The Carbon-Carbon Radiator has aluminum honeycomb sandwiched between it, and has thermal characteristics, Ky= Kx=230W/mK, and through the thickness Kz = 30W/mK which allows the craft to spread its heat to the cold side of the spacecraft, but also keeping the heat flux to the electric parts to a minimum.

If the component is found to be within its operating range, the analysis is done, if not a new thermal control must be added or changed.

98 Using the amount of heat needed to be radiated from star tracker, the additional area required to dissipate heat can be calculated and chosen.

99 Thermal Analysis of Microthruster Notes: Since Microthrusters need to be within 247 to 333 K, will have to add MLI to stay within thermal constraints. Analysis of Multilayer insulation…

104 Major Tasks Trade Studies –Frequency –Antenna types –Power –Data transfer rates Sizing the Antennas Determine placement of antennas

105 Antenna Selection and Sizing Initial Conditions –Payload stores data at a rate of 15.6 kbps. –Need to transmit data 1 or 2 times per week. 1 week of storage is equal to around 9,500,000 kb. We choose two 12,000,000 kb hard drives to store information. One hard drive will be used as backup. –Satellite needs to transmit data anywhere from.5 to 1.5 AU –All aspects of the DSN (size, SNR, noise temp.etc.)

106 Frequency S-Band: 2 GHz –Used primarily for short distance. X-Band: GHz –This is the typical frequency used, so DSN is becoming overloaded at this frequency. Ka-Band: GHz –Due to overloaded X-Band frequency, the DSN is migrating to Ka-Band frequency. –Can transfer data much more quickly than X-Band. Solar Sail will use Ka-Band transmit with X-Band receive/transmit capabilities.

107 Process This equation was then used with the following BER vs. SNR to solve for variables.

108 Bit Error Rate vs SNR

109 Process A SNR is chosen to correspond to a BER of T is noise temperature which is based on the angle with the sun and earth, elevation angle of the earth antenna, weather conditions, distance between satellites. From this, the gain and power transmitted was optimized for each frequency, antenna, distance and data transfer rate The following chart was created for each antenna, frequency, and distance from the sun. Variables included power, noise temperature, and antenna size.

110

111 Antenna Types Directional –Parabolic Reflector –Horn –Array –Helix Omni-directional –Dipole –Conical

112 High Gain Directional Antennas

113 Directional Antennas Parabolic Reflector –High data transfer rate with low power required. –Works with either X-Band receive/transit or Ka- Band receive/transit, not both. –Conventionally heavier than horn, but recent unused membrane dish antennas may be lighter in the future. –Can achieve high gain and a range of beamwidths.

114 Directional Antennas Arrays –Gain is low for small areas. –Heavier than horn or parabolic reflector due to the large area needed to achieve desired level of gain. –Can attain any beamwidth.

115 Directional Antennas Helix –Can attain any beamwidth necessary. –Antenna will have a low diameter but needs to be long to achieve high gain. –Length of antenna makes pointing and storage very difficult. –Length of antenna also adds resistance, so efficiency drops with length.

116 Directional Antennas Horn –High data transfer rate with low power required. –Works directly with recently developed Small Deep Space Transponder. –New design works with X-Band and Ka-Band transmit as well as X-Band receive. –Smaller than conventional parabolic reflector and array. –High gain. –Ability to track using Delta Differenced One-Way Range (DDOR) because two tones can be sent at once (DSN stats.pdf 9). –Small beamwidth, suitable for long-range communications. –The Solar Sail will have two horn antennas.

117

118

119 Conclusions The horn antenna was chosen because of its small size compared to the other choices. The antenna cannot transmit at a Sun-Earth- Probe angle smaller than.3 degrees or on a very stormy day at the ground station. Different antennas would be used on the sun side and shade side of the antenna. The sun side antenna would be.2 meters in diameter. The shade side antenna would be.075 meters.

120 More conclusions The minimum transfer time for this setup is 1 hour using Ka-band transmission. If the required signal to noise ratio is not met due to SEP angle or weather on earth, the transfer rate can be slowed to allow for more accurate data. Power used for transfer is 30 watts.

121 Directivity Horn directivity is estimated by the following equation:

122 Beamwidths Using this equation: –Sun-side antenna X-Band HPBW=13.42 Ka-Band HPBW=3.35. –Shade side antenna X-Band HPBW=35.79 Ka-Band HPBW=8.95 These beamwidths are all much larger than the pointing accuracy so there will be very little pointing error.

123 Low Gain Omni-Directional Antennas

124 Low-Gain Antenna Selection Omni-Directional Antenna –The goal is have a low data rate communications when not pointing at earth –There are many choices for low gain antennas. The solar sail will have two conical equiangular spiral antennas. –These two antenna will ensure the satellite will always be within contact with the DSN.

125 Omni-directional Transfer Dsn stats 5

126 2-Arm Conical Equiangular Spiral Antenna Gain will be 0 dBi (isotropic) from -70 to +70 degrees. Gain will be -25 dBi from -90 to -70 and 70 to 90 degrees for each antenna. Using this configuration, at the worst case scenario, the low gain antenna can transmit 1 bps with an accuracy of

138 Array Sizing (continued) The BOL power requirement is found by assessing the various efficiency factors that lead to the conditions at EOL Temperature efficiency = η temp = 1 - (0.005/K)*(T max – T nom ) Radiation efficiency = η rad = 1- R Cosine loss = η angle = cos(α) P EOL = η temp * η rad * η angle * P BOL T max is the maximum solar cell operating temperature T nom is the nominal solar cell operating temperature R is the percent loss due to radiaiation damage α is the maximum angle off-normal to the sun

140 Array Sizing (continued) Array area equations A cell = P BOL / ( η GaAr * I s ) A array = A cell / η pack A cell is the area of the solar cells A array is the area of the array η GaAr is the efficiancy of the solar cells Η pack is the packing efficiency I s is the solar intensity

141 Array Sizing (continued) A cell = m^2 With a packing efficiency of 90% A array = m^2 These values reflect the sizes required to meet EOL power requirements at 0.48AU We must check to make sure this array area will generate enough power to support the BOL requirements at 1AU

142 Array Sizing (continued) Assuming that there is no radiation and cosine loss Assuming a η temp ≈ 0.90 I s = 1355W/m^2 at 1AUl The BOL load ≈ 546W This would require an A cell ≈ m^2 and an A array ≈ 1.57 m^2 This means that the array sizing based on the EOL requirements will not support the BOL load requirments. The BOL load requirements are the driving force behind the array sizing

145 Trade Study Advantages to using of a normal-point solar array –Able to collect maximum possible solar energy –Requires smaller solar array –Array could be positioned to minimize thermal and radiation damage Disadvantages to using of a normal-point solar array –Added mass of gimbal used for positional array –Added complexity to design –Creates problems regarding stowage in capsule

146 Trade Study (continued) The BOL power requirements have caused our solar array to be nearly twice area required to meet the EOL power requirements The reduction of mass is our highest priority The smallest gimbal used for array positioning alone weighs approximately 5kg –This is nearly equal to the entire mass of our array Since our array is already oversized for EOL requirements, an array with normal pointing capabilities will not be beneficial

149 Demonstration of Success

150 Failure Modes and Effects Analysis Boom fails to fully inflate due to problem with tank, heater, etc. –Sail may still function, would apply different torques, difficult to control –One or more of the booms could fail to extend fully. i.e. the heaters don't work, or the inflation gas tank ruptures or it gets caught on something. If that were to happen, it might be possible to run up the sail part way, although there would be a lot of slack in it, and therefore a loss of propulsion efficiency. And the attitude control system might not be able to compensate for the asymmetric torque...assuming the sliding mass on the malfunctioning boom worked at all...I mean, um...yeah, it'll work perfectly... Failure of navigation system... sail fails to know it's location and can no longer implement control laws; will not reach desired orbit. Failure Modes and Efffects: 1. Module structure fails at 7.5 g's and breaks it shit off on exit. Effect: It will spread debris throughout LEO. Something like the Chinese did about 9 months ago. Oops. My Bad. 2. The Sail gets kinked inside the Bus module and is unable to deploy or rips on deployment. Effect: Huge embarrassing failure for the UofM design team. 3. The solar array is not able to pivot downward from its storage/capsule setup to its working format. Effect: Same as #2. FMEA Thermal can screw everything up. I don’t think I can narrow it down to one thing. If I have to I guess I will. Anyways, heres my FDR slides thus far, not done yet, but pretty much done calculating stuff. Now I have to explain things, add equations and graphics and explain what I would do if I had more time. I think stephanie will have plenty to say about what I have already. Thanks
