  1. EFI Axial Booms • Thermal • Christopher Smith • Thermal Engineer • csmith@ssl.berkeley.edu • 510-642-2461

  2. Axial Boom Stowed • Axial Boom (AXB) • Two units mount inside a carbon fiber tube centrally mounted on the probe • Tube attached to the top deck through an aluminum flange that is bare bolted • Bare bolted to lower deck • Two stacers, one from each unit, deploy out the tube ends AXB Mounting Tube Single AXB unit

  3. AXB a/e Map • 80% Alum Foil Tape • 20% Bare Carbon Fiber VDA Tape Alodined Aluminum Bare Carbon Fiber

  4. AXB Model Inputs • Optical materials • Aluminum Foil Tape • Bare Carbon Fiber • Alodined Aluminum • Thermophysical materials • Aluminum, 6061 • K13D2U Carbon Fiber • T300 Carbon Fiber • Heaters • None used at this time, though we are prepared to supply deployment heaters if needed • Conductors • Bare bolted top flange to deck: 0.612 W/C inc. bolts, flange, and adhesive • Bare bolted bottom flange to deck: 3.3 W/C each, 20 W/C total • Bare bolted AXB to Tube mount: 0.79 W/C each, 0.476 total • Power Dissipation • 0 Watts AXB Mounting Tab

  5. AXB Case sets • Bottom to sun a cold case boundary condition has no eclipse • All above cases run separately with stowed boom and deployed boom

  10. AXB Results Table

  11. AXB Mounting Tube Modifications • Spacecraft was consuming too much power in the coldest, but nominal, science case ~2.2 W • To help mitigate this issue two modifications are being considered for the AXB Mounting tube • Tube construction switched from all T300 ( 5 W/mK) fiber to 4 plys K13D2U (500 W/mK) + 2 plys T300 • Tube exterior changed from blanket to a mix of Foil tape and bare carbon • Current results show the AXB unit getting too hot and we are currently exploring options to cool it down • Increase isolation between AXBs and tube • Isolate tube flange from top deck • At worst, cool the tube down by reducing the percentage of foil tape • When the design is complete it will be within limits though new temperatures may require the thermal vac hot deploy test be repeated at a new higher temperature

  16. AXB Deployed Elements a/e Map • DAG 154 Alodined Aluminum DAG 213 Bronze

  17. AXB Model Inputs • Optical materials • Acheson Coloids DAG 213 (2 part) • Acheson Coloids DAG 154 • Alodined Aluminum • Bronze • Thermophysical materials • Aluminum, 6061 • Bronze • Elgiloy • PEEK • Heaters • None • Conductors • Main Stacer to Tip Piece, 1 rivet and circumferential contact, .3 < G <.9 W/C • Tip Piece To Bronze DDAD Lock, Large threaded interface, 10 W/C • DDAD Lock to PreAmp, large threaded bolt 3.57 W/C • PreAmp to Mini Stacer, 1 rivet and circumferential contact .3< G <.8 W/C • Mini Stacer to Can, 1 rivet, 0.3 W/C • Power Dissipation • 0.07 Watts Nominal at Preamp AXB Preamp

  18. AXB Deployed Elements Case Sets • Top and Bottom to sun cases after deployment are limited to no less than 11 degrees off the sun line • The Model for the Top and Bottom to Sun cases goes through a 180 min eclipse. A 100 min eclipse is the actual limit and is shown in plots

  20. AXB Boom Elements Sunline Plots - Deployed

  21. AXB Preamp Results Table • Science operation limited to a 36 min eclipse • Current predicts show Preamp falling below the limit on the TO99 can.

  22. AXB Preamp Qualification • AXB Preamp model is currently a simple lump with the proper radiative surfaces • Thermal isolation of the TO-99 from the outer shell is complicated and difficult to reliably model • Thermal Vacuum test planned determine the thermal isolation of the TO-99 from the preamp outer surface (April 12th – April 23rd) • This thermal isolation determined by test will be input into the thermal model to determine a reliable qualification temperature, still likely to be under the current qualified temp of –65

  23. AXB Preamp Models

  24. EFI Spin Plane Booms • Thermal • Christopher Smith • Thermal Engineer • csmith@ssl.berkeley.edu • 510-642-2461

  25. SPB • 4 separate units mounted to the bottom deck • Snout pokes out the solar panel • Sphere and Preamp deploy out the snout on a wire (Half Sphere shown in picture) • Sphere and preamp separate as rotation unwinds a thin wire from a spring loaded wheel

  26. SPB a/e Map • AZ 2000 IECW Inorganic White Paint Alodined Aluminum MLI

  27. SPB Model Inputs • Optical materials • Germanium Black Kapton (Sheldahl 275XC Black Kapton) • Alodined Aluminum • AZ 2000 IECW Inorganic White Paint • Blanket: .01 < e < .05 • Thermophysical materials • Aluminum, 6061 • ULTEM • Heaters • None used at this time, though we are prepared to supply deployment heaters if needed • Conductors • 1/8” Ultem isolators for top deck: 0.01 W/C each, 0.04 W/C total • Power Dissipation • 0 Watts

  34. SPB Deployed Elements • Preamp and sphere are connected by a thin wire • Preamp is connected to SPB deployment unit by another wire • Preamp is nearly identical to Axial version • Sphere is only a mechanical element Titanium Nitride DAG 213

  35. Preamp and Sphere Analysis

  36. SPB Sphere and Preamp Model • Nodes 3 and 4 are for the sphere hot and cold cases • Nodes 5 and 6 are for the preamp hot and cold cases • As with the axial preamp the SPB preamp falls below its limit by a bit. Qualification plan is in the works
