Presentation Transcript

Imagine…: 

Imagine… Small payloads, about a fraction of the size and weight of a conventional payload, launched into space, find each other … … these modules, couple together with a non-contacting force and fly in formation… … they interact using wireless power and data transfer… … the system is able to re-configure itself by active tweaking of the non-contacting forces…

Non-contacting Modular Reconfigurable Spacecraft (NCMRS): 

Non-contacting Modular Reconfigurable Spacecraft (NCMRS) Advisor Professor Mason Peck Team Mark Juncosa Brett Sauve Joshua Fikentscher Sachit Butail

System Overview: 

System Overview

Slide5: 

NCMRS Roadmap Structural Stiffness Data transfer Power Transfer Demonstrate system in plane (POC) Implications for attitude and orbital control Establish relative angular and translational motion Mission design Demonstrate system in three dimensions Flight test plan for NASA technology demonstration NCMRS Non-Contacting Modular Reconfigurable Spacecraft

Possibilities: 

Possibilities Incrementally build a spacecraft on orbit Upgrade / repair a spacecraft using moveable non-contacting parts Large array of requirements can be satisfied by reconfiguration High single-fault tolerance more…

Effort distribution: 

Effort distribution

How did we use Systems Engineering ?: 

How did we use Systems Engineering ? Requirements definition and flow Trade off analysis at every stage Test plans for each subsystem Functional flow diagram towards better implementation WBS & status reporting – Gantt charts

Systems Engineering ROI: 

Systems Engineering ROI For a new concept such as this, identifying and documenting the requirements properly saved a lot of effort Trade studies helped in choosing the right technology. System Simulations and modeling helped in choosing final design Test plans at all levels helped in validating choices

Progress: 

Progress 90 % 85 % 35 % 20 % Test bed made Powerless stabilization > 12 minutes Wireless Power transfer. Efficiency ~ 4% VEE MODEL – Fossberg and Mooz

Mating system test:
