Design OverviewInstrument RequirementsMechanical RequirementsAnalysisDesign DetailsNext Steps



Design Overview• 3 pairs of thin/thick detectors mounted in rigid structure.• TEP mounts allow for thermal expansion and

contraction.• Instrument is shielded and electrically isolated

at interface.• Purge runs through channels machined into

housing.



Activities since PDR

Programmatic• Completed Peer Review.• Fabricated engineering model.• Completed part drawings.

Design• Isolated detectors mechanically from TEP

mounts.• Added G-10 gasket interface to electrically

isolate telescope.• Purge system added.• Performed mechanical properties testing on

TEP.



Peer Review Summary

1. Telescope design requires close machining tolerances for success.Action: Modified design to increase robustness.

2. Detectors are not specified for random vibration and shock seen at the interface mount.Action: Plan to test engineering model detectors mounted in assembly.

3. Thin electrical isolation material specified at PDR may be too thin.Action: Use .063” G-10 sheet for isolation.

4. Purge channel cover screws may not be EMI tight.Action: None at this time. Add more screws if EMI emissions are too high.

5. Detectors will give poor measurements if there is light leakage. Action: Working to specify light tight requirements.

6. Force requirements for TEP preload is not toleranced.Action: Added tolerances to spring requirements.

Overview




Detector Details• 39 mm flat-to-flat Silicon detectors mounted on FR4 mounts• 140 micron and 1000 micron thick both bond to the same mount design• Micron Semiconductor Limited

– Lancing Sussex, UK

Cable and connector

4 mounting holes



How the TEP is mounted• TEP mounted in conical seats to

prevent misalignment.• Spring design allows for thermal

expansion and contraction• Large TEP is clamped into

holder with 267 N (60 lbs) preload using 4 springs

• Estimated maximum load is 207 g’s during random vibration

• Springs nominally secure TEP up to 400 g’s

• Springs that exert > 52 N (11.6 lbs) will secure TEP with a 1.5 factor of safety



TEP Material Properties

Compression Strength @ 20 ºC 58.6 MPa 110 MPa

CTE (20 ºC to –30 ºC) 18.9 μm/m-ºC 84.6 μm/m-ºC

• TEP is resilient to clamping with 75.1 MS.

• TEP interface will shrink 0.08 mm as it cools from 20ºC to –30ºC.

• The spring will make up this difference at –30ºC and still exert preload 258 N (58 lbs) preload.



Purging and Venting• Spacers between each pair of detectors for

venting• No enclosed cavities• Purge/vent system shown in red• Internal purge line from Ebox connects to

telescope purge system



Overview




Next Steps• Finalize MLI attachment near telescope• Submit flight drawings for fabrication• Make assembly drawings



Summary• Design changes since PDR

– Modified detector mounting scheme– Added vent/purge path– Added electrical isolation between telescope from Ebox

• Peer review successfully completed• Further analysis performed• Tested TEP material properties• Engineering model completed• Flight drawings ready to be submitted
