Description of Activities<br />

TEC-SB/7935/dc<br />

12/Feb/09<br />

- proof maturity of the relevant technology developments;<br />

- select a flight demonstrator concept, considering not only technical requirements but also launch constraints;<br />

- complete the detailed design of the flight demonstrator;<br />

- manufacture and ground test prove the flight demonstrator (combined analysis and testing).<br />

A successful completion of this program will thus pave the way for a future European inflatable structure flight demonstration<br />

mission. Flight test would be proposed as part of the GSTP.<br />

Deliverables:<br />

Technical datapackage. On-ground breadboard and demonstrator.<br />

Title:<br />

Active Structures for Large Solar Array Panels<br />

A major challenge in designing structures for large solar arrays is the requirement for high fundamental frequencies and the<br />

ability to withstand considerable launch loads. The highest stresses in the structure often occur <strong>du</strong>e to resonances in the<br />

frequency range of the launch loads. Active structures (e.g. actuated by piezo ceramics) can dampen resonances by<br />

closed-loop control. The objective of this activity is to develop S/A panel structures with closed loop control of their dynamic<br />

behaviour.<br />

Deliverables:<br />

Concepts assessment, trade-off and selection. Detailed design of breadboard control system. Detailed design of breadboard<br />

model. Manufacturing and performance test of breadboard. Definition of plan for intro<strong>du</strong>ction into future projects. Development<br />
