What Does a Spacecraft “Look” Like? Spacecraft “appearance”
is almost always function over form
Physical constraints: Launch Vehicle
Payload Fairing Loads
Power Required Vehicle dynamics

Spacecraft Description Spacecraft have two main parts:
Mission Payload Spacecraft Bus
Mission Payload A subsystem of the spacecraft that
performs the actual mission (communications, remote sensing etc.)
All hardware, software, tele- communications of payload data and/or telemetry and command
There can be secondary payloads Spacecraft Bus Hardware & software designed to support the
Mission Payload Provides
Power Temperature control Structural support Guidance, Navigation
May provide for telemetry and command control for the payload as well as the vehicle bus

UHF Follow-On Features
Each satellite provides 39 channels for Ultra High Frequency (UHF) two-way communications,
Super High Frequency (SHF) anti-jam, command and tracking link and communication uplink for fleet broadcast over UHF
Uses S-band communications for the Space Ground Link Subsystem (SGLS). AFSCN TT&C.
Flights 4-10 (Block II) also carry an Extremely High Frequency (EHF) package for secure, anti-jam communications, telemetry and commanding.
Flights 8-10 (Block III) add a Global Broadcast Service (GBS) package for one-way, high data-rate communications in place of the SHF package.
Projected orbital operational life of 14 years with an on-orbit storage life of four years.

Voyager The twin spacecraft Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 were
launched by NASA in separate months in the summer of 1977 from Cape Canaveral, Florida. As originally designed, the Voyagers were to conduct closeup studies of Jupiter and Saturn, Saturn's rings, and the larger moons of the two planets.
To accomplish their two-planet mission, the spacecraft were built to last five years.
But as the mission went on, and with the successful achievement of all its objectives, the additional flybys of the two outermost giant planets, Uranus and Neptune, proved possible -- and irresistible to mission scientists and engineers at the Voyagers' home at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California.
As the spacecraft flew across the solar system, remote-control reprogramming was used to endow the Voyagers with greater capabilities than they possessed when they left the Earth. Their two-planet mission became four. Their five-year lifetimes stretched to 12+
Between them, Voyager 1 and 2 would explore all the giant outer planets of our solar system, 48 of their moons, and the unique systems of rings and magnetic fields those planets possess.

Space System Development1. All systems development start with a “mission need” (the Why)2. Then mission requirements are developed to meet this need (the
What) often along with a concept of operationsNote: Often we make the mistake of putting “the How” in the Mission Requirement
3. From 1 and 2 above develop derived requirements for (the How): Space
Mission orbit Payload Types (Communications, remote sensing, data relay) Spacecraft Design
Ground Facilities and locations Computers/Software Personnel/Training
Launch segments Note: The requirements generation process is often iterative and
involves compromises Remember, Mother Nature gets a vote and her vote counts
13
Spacecraft Development Process Some types:
Waterfall (sequential) Spiral (iterative)
Basic Sequence:1. Conceptual design2. Detailed design3. Develop detailed
engineering models4. Start production5. Field system6. Maintain until
decommissioned DoD mandates integrated,
iterative product development process

Textbook Answer:

Serial (waterfall) Development1. Traditional “waterfall” development
process follows logical sequence from requirements analysis to operations.
2. Is generally the only way to develop very large scale systems like weapons, aircraft and spacecraft.
3. Allows full application of systems engineering from component levels through system levels.
4. Suffers from several disadvantages:• Obsolescence of technology (and
sometimes need!)• Lack of customer
involvement/feedback• Difficult to adjust design as program
proceeds

Concurrent versus serial development
The Concurrent development and manufacturing processes intended to optimize overall time to market and development productivity.
1. Incorporating customer needs/requirements into measurable and predictable targets; ensuring that the product meets or exceeds expectations.
2. Use simulation-led analysis and problem solving to design out problems and validate new designs before expensive prototypes and tooling are built.
3. Product testing ahead and concurrent with development programs to understand and quantify product performance before production is contemplated.
Note: Also Allows full application of systems engineering to assure requirements are methodically managed from component levels through system levels.

Spiral Development
From: http://www.maxwideman.com/papers/linearity/spiral.htmAnd Barry Boehm, A Spiral Model of Software Development and Enhancement, IEEE Computer, 1988
Software Development Centric Example
Good features1. In this approach, the entire application is built
working with the user. 2. Any gaps in requirements are identified as work
progresses into more detail. 3. The process is continued until the code is finally
accepted. 4. The spiral does convey very clearly the cyclic
nature of the process and the project life span.
Not so good features1. This approach requires serious discipline on the
part of the users. The user must provide meaningful realistic feedback.
2. The users are often not responsible for the schedule and budget so control can be difficult.
3. The model depicts four cycles. How many is enough to get the product right?
4. It may be cost prohibitive to “tweak” the product forever.
Simply put: Build a little – Test a little!
Can this work for every type of project?

Systems Engineering A logical process for system development Functional & physical decomposition of
system into logical parts Involves development of system
requirements: System Analysis Requirements Development Interface Requirements
Requirements Validation Test & Demonstration Simulation Analysis
Physical/functional configuration audits Integration & Test Planning “Cradle to Grave” lifecycle planning
Treaty provisions and DoD regulations require disposal of satellites at the end of life.

Spacecraft Integration and Test
CDR David Myre
21
Spacecraft Integration and Test Methodical process for test of
spacecraft to validate requirements at all levels
Sequence:1. Perform component or unit
level tests2. Integrate components/units into
subsystems3. Perform subsystem tests4. Integrate subsystems into
spacecraft5. Perform spacecraft level test6. Integrate spacecraft into
system7. Perform system test when
practical
22
System Integration and Test Types:
Functional testing Do subsystems work together? “Fit” check payload fairing, adapter
Environmental testing Thermal vacuum, shock and vibration testing
Combined functional and environmental testing Usually spacecraft level thermal vacuum involved
integrated functional testing Final System demo: Do all segments work together,
mainly ground and space Payload or system characterization
Performance can be altered by the space environment Often performed in thermal vacuum chamber
Can Use a combination of “hardware in loop” and simulation: Ground Testing Systems like propulsion and attitude control cannot be
operated safely on the ground May use “stimulators” for sensors like sun & earth sensor,
or star tracker.

Summary: Functions:
Mechanical (form and fit) Electrical/Electronic (power up to operational test)
Process: Starts at component level (e.g. transmitter, power
supply…) Continues at subsystem level (e.g. electronic power
system, attitude control system…) Ends with end-to-end test of entire system
Spacecraft Challenge: Effectively test spacecraft on the ground so it works
in space!
24
Design Verification and Qualification Testing
Design Verification Validate design precepts and models Examine system limitations Build & Test, Build & Test…
Qualification: Determine system suitability for mission Provides tool for customer to measure success of
the enterprise Allows time for fixes to meet requirements – may
involve warranty period
25
DoD Test Process Developmental
Testing: Design Verification Qualification Acceptance Testing
Operational Testing: Operational
Assessments (OA’s) Phased Operational
Testing (OT) Mandated by law to
protect YOU!
From: COMOPTEVFOR’s Web Page http://www.cotf.navy.mil/
In 1971, however, OPTEVFOR was designated the Navy's sole independent agency for operational test and evaluation. This move was in response to Congressional and Secretary of Defense initiatives aimed at improving the defense material acquisition process.

Types of Design/Qual Tests Functional
“Life” Testing (could involve structural, thermal, illumination, power cycling, radiation exposure etc.)
Component to System Level Often performed in between
other forms of test Structural
Static Tests Dynamic Tests
Thermal Thermal cycling Thermal vacuum

Launch Flow Pack and Ship (Spacecraft & Launcher)
Dry run spacecraft moves, lifts etc. Transportation loads can be driving cases for
spacecraft structure Establish launch operations
Admin and work spaces for launch team Test to insure no damage during shipping
Perform limited subsystem and spacecraft tests Establish communications with all players (launch
base, groundstation) Perform rehearsals Multiple data and voice networks must be established Support spacecraft (TDRSS) must be in place
