These conic shapes potentially offer greater stiffness properties when compared to circular cross sections, which is critical for improving the load-bearing performance of deployed booms. Inducing bistability through composite layups in parabolic booms would allow for controllable self-deployment due to a less energetic coiled state when compared to monostable booms. An inextensional analytical model is used to predict the stable coiled diameters of tape spring and collapsible tubular mast (CTM) booms with parabolic cross sections. The parabolic section is discretized into circular segments using biarc spline interpolation, which allows them to be integrated into the strain energy minimization procedure used to obtain the equilibrium states. When the parabolic booms are parametrically compared against circular booms with identical layups, flattened height, and mass, the former are found to generally have better stiffness performance while being less efficient in stowed volume, as evidenced by larger coiled diameters. Analytical coiled diameters and their strain energy are verified with finite element simulations for an optimal parabolic tape spring and CTM booms. Additional validation of the parabolic tape spring’s coiled diameter is provided by experimental measurements of boom specimens.","PeriodicalId":50048,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Spacecraft and Rockets","volume":"23 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139197011","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The analysis focuses on the risks posed by debris fields created by breakups occurring during an orbit-raising maneuver for vehicle replacement and/or capability reconstitution, using current telecommunications mega-constellations, such as Starlink and OneWeb, as examples. The mega-constellation designs consist of 750 and 150 satellites arranged using the Walker-Delta design for the LEO and MEO cases, respectively. The research employs physics-based orbital propagation and Monte Carlo simulations to evaluate the potential consequences of a single satellite breakup during orbit raising. The results of the simulations are used to calculate the probability of catastrophic collision and compare the debris risk between the LEO and MEO mega-constellations, with a bimodality analysis conducted for the MEO constellation. Monte Carlo analysis indicates that the LEO mega-constellation features the highest percentage of potential catastrophic collisions between debris fragments and the mega-constellation. Specifically, satellite breakup events starting within an altitude range of 100–199 km below the LEO mega-constellation, or approximately at the midpoint of a Hohmann transfer from a 300-km parking orbit, pose the greatest risk to the constellation.","PeriodicalId":50048,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Spacecraft and Rockets","volume":"15 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139277615","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Model validation was achieved through comparison between computation and available data obtained in the arc-jet test series, which were conducted at NASA Ames Research Center from 2014 to 2020. The charring ablator simulations for arc-jet test models presented in this work were computed by the Two-Dimensional Implicit Thermal Response and Ablation (TITAN) code, and the Data-Parallel Line Relaxation Method (DPLR) code was used for arc-jet flow simulations to estimate the arc-jet stream total enthalpy and define the aerothermal boundary conditions over the test model surface for TITAN simulations. Because of low surface catalytic efficiency of 3D-MAT char, the exact surface heating could not be determined. Thus, three different types of boundary conditions, including 1) fully catalytic surface heating, 2) noncatalytic surface heating, and 3) surface temperature and recession, were used in the TITAN simulation for model validation. The predicted surface and in-depth temperature history for arc-jet test models were compared with pyrometer and thermocouple data, and the predicted test model surface recession and char depth were compared against the posttest measurements.","PeriodicalId":50048,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Spacecraft and Rockets","volume":"104 51","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135137129","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The space environment presents several unique challenges for additive manufacturing, including the need to operate in a vacuum. This paper presents the design, analysis, and test results for a passively cooled fused filament fabrication (FFF) 3D printer capable of manufacturing parts out of engineering-grade thermoplastics in the vacuum of space. Four high-temperature materials were successfully printed in high vacuum, including polyetherketoneketone, carbon-nanotube–polyetherketoneketone, polyetherimide, and carbon-nanotube–polyetherimide. Over 100 test coupons were printed in a vacuum and tested to confirm the feasibility of applying the FFF process in this environment. Lessons learned were documented throughout the vacuum printing test campaigns and are discussed here. This paper is part of a two-part series. Part I presented results for using a low-temperature hotend capable of printing hobby-grade materials in high vacuum and documented initial findings and lessons learned. Part II presents the results for a high-temperature hotend capable of printing engineering-grade plastics that are suitable for on-orbit manufacturing. The combined results of the two papers in this series can be used to inform future on-orbit additive manufacturing.","PeriodicalId":50048,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Spacecraft and Rockets","volume":"120 48","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135137880","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The KRUPS capsules made a historic reentry into the Earth’s atmosphere in 2021, and this work details the reconstruction of the flight trajectories by inverse estimation based on the flight data. A trajectory modeling program is used with a one-dimensional material response solver to generate a prediction of the stagnation wall temperature of the KRUPS capsule during of the KRUPS capsule during reentry. These temperature results are compared to the temperature data obtained during the mission, and the initial parameters of the trajectory simulation are optimized to find the best estimated trajectories. The inverse estimation is performed in three ways: by assuming radiative equilibrium at the wall, by estimating the wall temperature after the trajectory simulations are first performed, and by coupling the trajectory and one-dimensional material response solver. Finally, the best estimated trajectories are compared against simulations performed using a three-dimensional material response solver, the Kentucky Aerodynamics and Thermal-response System Fluid Material Response module. It is observed that all approaches converge to a possible ejection of the KRUPS capsule into the Earth’s atmosphere at 35 km.","PeriodicalId":50048,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Spacecraft and Rockets","volume":"112 7","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135138517","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First, the main factors affecting the imaging conditions, including the sun angle, sun-angle changing rate, relative distance, and distance changing rate, are analyzed to formulate a realistic multiple-factor inspection game. An approximate switching-type payoff function is specially designed to incorporate all the boundary constraints of those factors into the game model. Then, the analytical necessary conditions for the Nash equilibrium are derived and converted as a two-point boundary value problem (TPBVP). But different from conventional routes to solve the challenging TPBVP, a lighter costate optimization method is proposed, which transforms the TPBVP to a direct optimization problem by employing the conclusion that the optimal thrust directions of both sides are the same and utilizing the theory of the epsilon-Nash equilibrium. The existence of the epsilon-Nash equilibrium is proven, and the necessary conditions for a small epsilon are derived to support the method. Finally, simulations of the GEO inspection missions demonstrated the superiority of the proposed game formulation and the high efficiency and accuracy of the proposed method.","PeriodicalId":50048,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Spacecraft and Rockets","volume":"33 S124","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135343360","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
