12 Typical designs of small sub-satellites - No launch site operation execept for detaching non-flight items - Powered off during launch and launch site operation RF transmitter <Hazard> Inadvertent RF radiation Small sub-satellites launched with NASA GPM satellites <Hazard> Ignition at explosive atmosphere <Hazard> Rupture or explosion of batteries Electrical circuits Secondary batteries 12 Solar Array Paddle (SAP) Some of potential hazardous sources are considered to be small, however, JAXA SSRP review these hazards based on worst case assumption. <Hazard> Inadvertent deploy of depolyment mechanism Antenna

13 Electrical inhibits Electrical failure is one of the hazard causes of inadvertent deployment or inadvertent RF radiation and so on. Typical small sub-satellites have electrical inhibits against these hazard causes. Hazardous function (Mech, RF) inhibit 3 inhibits are required for inadvertent RF radiation, inadvent deployment of mechanism battery Typical electrical circuit No chattering during shock/vibration test is confirmed (No ignition source at explosive atmoshere) Mechanical micro switch used for small sub-satellites 13 Typical small sub-satellites for J-POD

14 COTS Secondary batteries Commercial off the shelf (COTS) secondary batteries such as Lithium ion battery (LIB) or Nickel metal hydride battery are used. Especially, the following items are verified for LIBs. Internal short: - Charge/discharge test before/after environmental test External short: - Two protection devices against external short such as PTC, fuse, separator shutdown etc - Insulation design of battery itself and downstream circuit of battery Overcharging: - two fault tolerant protection devices 14 Some of sub-satellite organizations are not familiar with these assessment. JAXA created guideline for safety assessment of COTS LIB

15 Hold & Release mechanism for SAP/Antenna Mechanical failure is one of the hazard causes of inadvertent deployment. Typical small sub-satellites use non-metal lock wire for hold & release mechanism. Nichrome wire cuts lock wire by its heat Nichrome wire Lock wire Non-metal lock wire Antenna Electrical inhibit 1 Electrical inhibit 2 Electrical inhibit 3 - Redundant lock wires for fail-safe design - Tension strength - Creep deformation - Integrity of knot - Management of tension Battery JAXA created guideline for non-metal lock wire 15

17 Improvement of Safety requirement and safety review process Several issues were identified during safety assessments for small sub-satellites. The features of small sub-satellites are; Potential hazardous sources of small sub-satellites are generally small Some of small sub-satellites organization are not familiar with safety assessment. Improvement of safety assessment tools 17

18 Standard Hazard Reports JAXA SSRP previously required to submit the full hazard reports even if the identified hazard and hazard control were general and common among each payload. Standard hazard reports Ignition in Explosive hazardous atmosphere Electromagnetic compatibility Electrical Shock Standard hazard reports were created COTS Battery rupture, electrolyte leakage Sharp edge, corner, protrusion 18

19 Interpretation / Guidelines Interpretation documents of safety requirements were prepared because the requirements are conservative or ambiguous description in JMR-002 Launch Vehicle Payload Safety Standard. Inhibit monitoring Interpretation / Guidelines Hazard severity of RF radiation to human body Explosion proof design Safety critical mechanisms Standard hazard reports, Interperation / guidelines are helpful to small sub-satellites organization lock wire of deployment mechanism COTS lithium ion battery Use of materials sensitive to Stress Corrosion Cracking (SCC) 19

20 Summary JAXA has been assuring the safety of third-party, H- IIA rocket, main satellites, or ground operators through the system safety activity by small sub-satellite organizations and through the review by JAXA SSRP, and there is no mishaps so far. JAXA SSRP will continue this safety review and promote safety activity. Also, JAXA SSRP will improve its requirements and process so that more efficient and effective safety review can be performed. 20

22 Framework of safety requirements for ELV payloads JAXA has two kinds of requirements; JAXA s Management Requirement (JMR): specifies and standardizes the requirements for management of reliability, quality, safety, configuration and so on. JAXA s Engineering Regulation (JERG): specifies the technical requirements, guidelines, standards, technical information, interpretation for system design. Main safety requirements applied to ELV payloads JMR-001 System Safety Standard JMR-002 Launch Vehicle Payload Safety Standard JMR-003 Space Debris Mitigation Standard These safety requirements are applied to not only JERG Technical Standard for High Pressure Gas Equipment For Space Use main satellites but also small sub-satellites. JERG Safety Regulation for Launch Site Operation/Flight Control Operation 22

23 Typical process of JAXA SSRP Safety Review Phase 0 Safety Review Phase I Safety Review Phase II Safety Review Phase III (Design Concept) (PDR) (CDR) (Delivery) Confirmation of identified hazards and hazard causes Confirmation of safety requirement Confirmation of identified hazards and hazard controls Confirmation of preliminary verifications Confirmation of implement controls for design Confirmation of detailed verification methods Confirmation of complete verification JAXA typically conducts four-time safety review panels according to each development phase JAXA SSRP requires safety data package including hazard reports at each phase. Safety Verification Tracking Log Phased safety analysis makes it possible to feed-back to payload design because safety analysis is performed in parallel with designing. -It is easier (less expensive) to change documentation than to change hardware 23

24 Unique points of discussion and review at JAXA SSRP (1) High pressure gas equipment for space use When the high pressure gas equipments are used in Japan, Especially when high pressure equipments are loaded of contents such as propellant in Japan, required... The review of compliance with the Japanese law The special permission of government JERG Technical Standard for high pressure gas equipment for space use The Japanese law does not have the regulation specialized in high pressure gas equipments for space use, therefore JAXA creates and requires... If JAXA SSRP can approve the compliance with JERG and reports the result of the review to government, review by government is exempted from. JAXA SSRP can make the review process more efficient 24

25 Unique points of discussion and review at JAXA SSRP (2) Hazards due to failure of payloads during ascent JAXA SSRP considers the following as catastrophic hazard; (1) Loss or damage of vehicle due to failure of payload during ascent (2) Loss or damage of adjacent major payload due to failure of payload during dual launch <Example> prior to antenna deployment after antenna deployment From safety perspective... antenna hold and release mechanism If inadvetent antenna deployment leads to loss or damage of vehicle during ascent Fault tolerant for the mechanism shall be applied.

26 Improvement of Safety requirement and safety review process Hazard severity of RF radiation toward human body During launch site operation, RF radiation hazard toward human body is identified, and the adequate inhibits are required according to the hazard. However, the criteria of these hazard severity were ambiguous in JMR-002. The interpretation letter was made based on Japanese law Guideline for protection of RF radiation. hazard severity criteria <table1: criteria for hazard severity of RF radiation> Marginal hazard Critical hazard Catastrophic hazard RF frequency < 3GHz When personnel cannot access within 10 cm from RF radiation source; Power of RF < 20 W When personnel can access within 10 cm from RF radiation source; Power of RF < 200 mw 20 W or 200 mw < Power of RF < 200 W Power of RF > 200 W 26
