Self Contained Deployment Mechanism<br />

A SeCDeS (Self-Contained Deployment System),consisting of a motorized deployment system with a mechanism located in<br />

each of the panel hinge lines, is under development to reach a TRL4. The mechanism is simple, has low weight, and consists<br />

of a stepper motor connected to a gear box. All stepper motors are controlled from an electronic box located close to the root<br />

hinge of the spacecraft. The electronics are powered from a battery box also located close to the root hinge. The mechanism<br />

can easily be adapted to all types of mechanical hinges. This new system gives accurate panel synchronisation and the<br />

achieved SA cone angles are considerably re<strong>du</strong>ced compared to existing systems.<br />

The subject CCN shall address two issues identified in the course of the BB development:<br />

1. A miniaturized position sensor must be developed to achieve the BB performance. Sensor fundamentals and mechanical<br />

robustness as well as signal integrity and analog filtering techniques will be addressed as main objectives. An EM sensor will<br />

be built and tested.<br />

2. A worst case environmental test of the double stage Harmonic drive gear box must be performed to ensure that the<br />

gearbox behaves as expected within the specified temperature range [Operational -130 degC to + 116 degC, Survival -180<br />

degC to +116 degC].<br />
