  6. Major Subassemblies • Grid Box Assembly • Mechanical Systems Top Assembly test configuration • Static Load and Thermal Cycle tests • Grid Box Base Assembly • Configuration delivered to I & T for LAT integration • Defines base configuration for LAT assembly drawings • Grid Assembly • Mechanical backbone • Radiators • Fabricated and tested by LM • X-LAT and Mid-plates • Fabricated and tested by LM

  7. Design & Fabrication Responsibilities Mechanical Systems

  8. Design Problem Areas • CAL-GRID Interface • Electronics-Box to X-LAT Interface

  9. CAL-GRID Interface Design Problem Status • At PDR & dPDR the baseline design was a bolted interface that relied on friction between the CAL plates and the Grid to react shear forces. • By Peer Review, we had not demonstrated (EM test) that we could develop the coefficient of friction required at the most highly loaded (<10% of) locations with ample margin. • A pinned approach was implemented and analyzed.

  10. CAL-GRID Interface Design Problem Resolution • The pins cannot carry the loads at the highly loaded locations. • Request to GSFC to re-evaluate loads that were specified to LAT which we believe may overstate the shear loads by a factor of 2 or 3 (but correctly state the SC – LAT interface loads) • Acceptable options that impact only Mech have been exhausted or rejected on principal • Other options under evaluation which impact at least the CAL subsystem as well

  11. X-LAT to Electronics-Box Thermal Joint Design Problem Status • At PDR & dPDR the baseline design was a bolted and thermally bonded joint between bottom of each E-Box and the X-LAT plate. There were flexures between the top of the E-box stack and the CAL plates. • Concern raised that E-boxes were not serviceable • Large bonded area to de-mate. • Re-verification issues after re-integrating. • For Peer Review, trade study presented for design that • Carried the thermal load of E-Boxes into X-LAT heat pipes • Accommodate tolerance buildup from E-Box and Grid Box components • Repeatable interface (make & break) • Minimize schedule & verification impacts resulting from X-LAT plate removal for Electronics box access

  12. X-LAT to Electronics-Box Thermal Joint Design Problem Resolution • Design changed to rigidly mount E-Box stack to CAL plate and create a thermally compliant thermal joint between the E-box & X-LAT plate • Trade study results indicate that Vel-therm gasket material optimally meets requirements and has the following characteristics: • Highly conductive graphite fibers • Mechanically compliant • Meets out-gassing requirements • Allows TEM/TPS to be mated to CAL through out its Acceptance testing • However, this approach has little Flight heritage and must be qualified for our application

  13. Peer Review Significant Findings • Spacecraft to LAT mechanical interface finalization • Structural analysis and design margins not finalized • X-LAT to electronics box mechanical & thermal design not finalized • Unconventional design approach dependent on analysis results and engineering model development • Immature drawing/document status for grid and X-LAT plate • Calorimeter to grid interface concerns must be resolved

  14. Peer Review Significant Findings • Is the design maturity, qualification and verification planning near CDR level? • With the exception of the electronics to X-LAT interface, Yes, but still missing an appropriate level of verification with the engineering models and final dynamics analysis. • Has the Subsystem identified open design issues and established appropriate resolution plans to ensure closure? • Yes, the issues have been identified but issues may still develop during engineering model testing and final analysis. • Is the Subsystem near readiness for manufacturing? • Many element of the subsystem are ready for manufacture (e.g. radiator), however other items need to wait until analysis and successful engineering model completion. • Has the Subsystem identified open manufacturing issues and established appropriate resolution plans? • Yes. Specific concerns are captured in the RFAs. • Are there other issues that should be addressed? • Mechanical assembly of the LAT will be a complex process that will require development of detailed processes and procedures. • The mechanical team has just recently staffed up. Re-plan of work that has been delayed needs to be completed and may delay design finalization
