Description
Summary:碩士 === 淡江大學 === 機械與機電工程學系碩士班 === 94 === This paper is focus on the next generation of Microsat Satellite, TUUSAT-1, which volume is smaller than 0.4* 0.4* 0.4* m³, and weight is lighter than 40 kg, developing Gravity-Gradient Boom. The main mission of satellite payload targets on photoing meteorogram; its design must be low budget and fit for Microsat Satellite using in the university and provide accurate fixing mission within five degrees. The Structural design is first to define the goal, demand, and system requirements and limitations of satellite mission, and then take how the existing foreign institution design as references to calculate the requirements of gravity-gradient torque, arm length and inertia torque. The arm structure is using stainless steel tapeline as main material. We will completely develop and design for the structure, and install the distinction of briefness, testable numbers, and easy extensibility. Eventually, we will proceed to make functional tests and utilize ANSYS to verify the result of natural frequency simulation; during the course of developments, each period needs system requirement an limitation comparisons, until the result of design is good enough to be satisfied.
