9 Spacecraft Bus vs. Payload Bus: A means transporting goods, men, etc. - Also called platform Payload: Something that generates revenue * Example - A spacecraft is the payload for a launch vehicle Spacecraft Bus: the housekeeping subsystems - Thermal control, attitude and orbit control, electric power generation, telemetry/tracking and control, structure, propulsion subsystem. Spacecraft Payload: antenna and transponder subsystem

14 Design/Verifications Design Constraints 1. Bus Design Constraints 2. System Performance Requirements 3. Environmental Requirements 4. Operational Requirements Test Verification Component Test System/Subsystem/Module Tests

15 Design Constraints 1. Bus Design Constraints a) Various communications payload selections Ku-band channels + Ka-band channels, or Several combinations of C, S, Ku, Ka-band applications b) Requires modifications on the basic bus design to accommodate the Customer-specified payload requirements

16 Design Constraints c) The payload design should consider the well established bus design for cost-effectiveness. Given Heat Pipe Panel Design Given heat pipe network design: constraints on the TWTA mounting locations Given Antenna Feed Location Feed horn locations on the earth deck are pre-defined: Stable points, minimum loss, etc. Given OMUX Mounting Location OMUX s are relatively big in size and should be placed to minimize the RF loss up to the antenna.

17 Design Constraints 2. System Performance Requirements Link Budget Must meet the allocated link margin within the real estate given by the system engineering (e.g., waveguide and cable length, heat pipe network pattern). Antenna Pointing Error Budget RF performance depends on the antenna pointing errors. System engineering allocates the errors that must be flown down to the RF design requirements. Thermal Dissipation Budget The payload design should comply with the panel s heat transport capability. Conductive vs. radiation-cooled TWTA, deployable radiators

18 Design Constraints Mass Budget All subsystem designs should be compliant with the mass allocations given by system engineering 5 ~ 10% mass margin added up to the baseline design figures at the beginning of the design Power Budget All subsystem power consumption should be compliant with the power allocations given by system engineering 5 ~ 10% power margin added up to the baseline design figures at the beginning of the design

19 Design Constraints 3. Environmental Requirements Space Environments Thermal: thermal cycling, components operational temp. are sensitive to the RF performance Vacuum: vacuum sensitive units, active units Corona Arcing: high power handling units ESD (Electrostatic Discharge): active units Ground Environments Cleanness Handling requirements: Easy installation and removal, transportation

20 Design Constraints 4. Operational Requirements Customer-specific requirements TWTA operational range Output Back-off range from Saturation TDMA operation: No. of TDMA operation channels BUS voltage ripples & EMI/EMC protection Beam Interconnectivity OMUX design & layout
