Objectives
The activities under the SAAF project address the ancillary functionalities and autotest capabilities that coupled with a power producing SAS (Solar Array Simulator) would provide full simulation and verification of the power and dynamic aspects of a spacecraft Solar Array (SA), see figure below:
SAAF Conceptual Diagram
The basic functionality of SAAF can be decomposed into three principal blocks:
- Autotest.
- SA Initial Deployment.
- SA Through-life Simulation.
Challenges
Key challenge was to keep the design generic enough to satisfy the needs of both telecom customers in Europe and USA.
Plan
As described in Contract and CCN1.
Current Status
Current status is completed.
