  2. Project Introduction • Project conducted as part of an 8 week interactive JPL-Caltech course • Performed analysis on multiple aspects of JPL flight project: NuSTAR 2

  3. NuSTAR Mission Overview • X-Ray Observatory • Obtain higher resolution images of x-ray sources • Two hard x-ray optics with 10 m focal lengths • 24 month mission (2) X-Ray Mirrors Mast & Canister (2) Focal Plane Modules Spacecraft Bus 3

  4. NuSTAR Description (2) X-Ray Mirrors S/C Bus 10.9 m Extendible Boom 4

  5. Chief Concern • X-Ray optics require precise pointing and alignment • Mirrors are mounted on end of extensible boom • Required accuracy of optics mandate determination of boom behavior 5

  6. JPL Level 1 Requirements 6

  7. Ae 105 Project Goals • Analyze the performance of NuSTAR observatory • Conduct structural and thermal analysis of the boom • Predict attitude and dynamics of the S/C • Design a metrology system to determine the position and orientation of the mirrors with respect to the bus • Assure JPL level 1 and below requirements are met 7

  8. Project Structure 8

  9. Structural/Thermal • Goal: • Generate integrated structural/thermal model of boom • Translate disturbances/forces into deflections/frequencies • Input: disturbance forces estimated by dynamics • Output: modal analysis results to dynamics and metrology 9

  10. Dynamics • Goal: • Generate S/C orbital/ADCS model • Input: Frequencies from structures • Output: forces to structures 10

  11. Metrology • Goal: • Design and select a mirror measurement system • Generate model to translate between measurements and real position/orientation • Input: frequencies from structures • Output: metrology system 11

  12. Introduction • Objectives • Pre-PDR • Requests for Action • Post-PDR • Boom Description • CALFEM/ANSYS Verification • Cases (1-4) • Thermal Analysis • Deliverables • Conclusions 13

  13. Structural/Thermal Objectives • Goal: • Create a FEM model of the NuSTAR boom. • Determine static loading cases • Perform modal analysis on the model to determine natural frequencies. • Create an FD thermal model of the NuSTAR boom • Model shall be capable of determining temperatures based on loading conditions • Integrate structural and thermal models into one package. 14

  14. JPL Level 1 Requirements 15

  15. Pre-PDR • Populated material properties list • Developed static loading case CALFEM model • Completed analytic thermal model • Wrote thermal FD code for worst case scenario 16

  16. Requests for Action • Consider the pre-stress of the cables in the deployed boom. Accepted • Standardize material properties for all boom models. Accepted • Define thermal distortions for more standard loading cases. Accepted • Consider various CTEs of thermal coatings. Accepted • Take into account the joints when modeling thermal distortion. Accepted • Consider how change of truss orientation effects calculations of thermal loading. Accepted 17

  17. Post-PDR • Standardized material properties in all models • Created ANSYS model of boom • Verified static analysis of ANSYS with CALFEM • Verified modal analysis of ANSYS with CALFEM • Completed thermal FD code for any S/C orientation 18

  18. Boom Description 19

  19. CALFEM/ANSYS Verification • CALFEM – less capable, more open • ANSYS – more capable, less open • CALFEM will be used to verify results from ANSYS to establish ANSYS as a proper modeling package 20
