    摘要: In a solar array paddle having panels which are connected to a main body of a satellite and rotatably connected to one another, elastic insertion members for prevention of vibration are disposed in a clearance between each of the panels and between the main body and the panel adjacent to the main body when the panels are housed, folded, and layered. Each of the insertion members for prevention of vibration is inserted into the clearances and between the main body of the satellite and the panels adjacent to the main body such that one surface contacts a first panel and the other surface is adhered to a second panel.

    摘要: A variable spacer includes a plate having a first surface and a second surface. At least one hole is integrally formed within the plate, extending from the first surface to the second surface. The hole receives a shaft of a separation bolt used for attaching a spacecraft to a launch vehicle. The plate increases a first load within the separation bolt to a second load during a turbulent stage. The second load reduces a gapping that occurs between the launch vehicle and the spacecraft. Thereafter, the plate reduces the second load within the separation bolt to a third load during a separation stage. The third load decreases a shock level experienced by the spacecraft and the launch vehicle.

    摘要: A method and system for calculating a control function for a structural system (10) that can be used to determine an appropriate control force to apply to an active member (18) within a stationary member (12) on the structural system (10). An active member (18) and a stationary member (12) are defined as a two-mass system in which the active member (18) and the stationary member (12) move in opposite directions. The stationary member (12) is mounted to an isolation subsystem (14) that is composed of six isolators (28) at multiple degrees of freedom. The isolation subsystem (14) is softer than the stationary member (12), active member (18) and a spacecraft surface (16) due to a damping element (32) of the isolation subsystem (16). The isolation subsystem (16) is mounted to the spacecraft (16) and decouples the spacecraft (16) from the stationary member (12) and thus the active member (18). An accurate control force for the active member (18) can be determined based upon the above structure (10).

    摘要: An aerodynamic fairing which is mountable on a strap on solid rocket motor (SRM) is configured such that in flight aero-acoustic effects are significantly reduced with regard to the launch vehicle to which the SRM is mounted and other external apparatus. The aerodynamic fairing is configured to include a leading edge which is substantially flat and provides the forward intersection between the inboard and outboard sides of the fairing. On mounting the fairing and SRM to a launch vehicle, the inboard surface is closest to the launch vehicle while the outboard surface is further away. With regard to the aerodynamic fairing, the transition rearward from the leading edge to a base end, the inboard surface is initially flat and transitions to the cylindrical shape of the SRM. The outboard surface of the fairing is configured such that it has a profile of a canted ogive which extends from the leading edge and smoothly transitions to the cylindrical shape of the SRM at the base end.

    摘要: A vibration isolator is provided that includes a plurality of elastomeric members. The vibration isolator includes a first support, a second support and at least one third support. The second support is spaced from the first support such that the first and second supports define at least one recess. The at least one third support is spaced from the first support such that the third support and the first support define at least one recess. The recesses between the first and second supports and the first and third supports are structured to at least partially receive at least one of the elastomeric members. The vibration isolator includes at least one fastener that is structured to mount the corresponding elastomeric members between the first and third supports and between the first and second supports such that elastomeric members damp vibration transmitted between the first and second supports.

    摘要: A rocket fairing mounted on a forward section of a rocket body included in a rocket comprises a first structure formed on the fairing-base side, and including a first side wall defining a first storage space for storing a first payload; and a second structure formed on the fairing-forward side, and including a second side wall defining a second storage space for storing a second payload. The first side wall has a plurality of first side wall segments capable of being separated from each other along a plane including the longitudinal axis of the fairing and of being turned away from the first payload when releasing the first payload from the first storage space. The second side wall has a plurality of second side wall segments capable of being separated from each other along a plane including the longitudinal axis of the fairing and of being turned away from the second payload when releasing the second payload from the second storage space.

    摘要: A spacecraft having a movable structure which is held in a preselected location by a holding mechanism substantially free of microdynamic noise. The holding mechanism comprises two mechanical members in physical contact with each other and movable with respect to each other. The unintentional movement of the two mechanical members with respect to each other generates microdynamic noise. The two mechanical members are secured together to provide joinder of the two mechanical members when the movable structure is located in the preselected position to prevent long-term unintentional movement between the two mechanical members.
