Abstract

Provided is a reaction wheel assembly ruggedized for use in kinetically launched satellites. An example reaction wheel assembly may include a shaft mounted to a body of a satellite, a wheel mounted to the shaft, wherein a center of a gravity of the wheel is co-aligned with the shaft, and a support device mounted to the body of the satellite. The reaction wheel assembly may include bearings for holding the shaft to the body of the satellite and allowing a rotation of the wheel. The support device can be engaged to support the wheel to reduce a load on the shaft and the bearing, the load being caused by an acceleration of the satellite during a kinetic launch of the satellite. After the satellite is launched into space, the support device can be disengaged from supporting the wheel to allow the wheel to spin.

Abstract

Provided is a reaction wheel assembly ruggedized for use in kinetically launched satellites. An example reaction wheel assembly may include a shaft mounted to a body of a satellite, a wheel mounted to the shaft, wherein a center of a gravity of the wheel is co-aligned with the shaft, and a support device mounted to the body of the satellite. The reaction wheel assembly may include bearings for holding the shaft to the body of the satellite and allowing a rotation of the wheel. The support device can be engaged to support the wheel to reduce a load on the shaft and the bearing, the load being caused by an acceleration of the satellite during a kinetic launch of the satellite. After the satellite is launched into space, the support device can be disengaged from supporting the wheel to allow the wheel to spin.

Abstract

Ruggedized solar panels for use on top of a satellite configured for a kinetic space launch are disclosed. The solar panels are able to maintain structural integrity and functionality of the solar cells under high acceleration forces generated during kinetic launch, including acceleration forces of >5,000 times Earth's gravity in a single direction of loading. The solar panels are ruggedized to withstand this level of acceleration force during launch via stiffening mechanisms, such as lamination of the solar panel into a sandwich panel structure, and/or use of support beams under a solar panel. Further, a high-specific-stiffness composition of the solar panel aids the solar panel in remaining flat during launch so it does not deflect inwards and damage the solar cells.

Abstract

A mass acceleration system for launching objects, such as a projectile or launch vehicle, via rotational acceleration is disclosed. The system may comprise a chamber maintained at near vacuum pressure, a motor that rotates a hub attached to a tethered projectile in a circular motion inside the vacuum chamber, accelerating the projectile until the projectile reaches a desired launch speed. The projectile may be released from the tether upon reaching the desired launch speed and may exit the chamber through an exit port that is opened briefly to allow the projectile to exit. In various embodiments, the circular mass acceleration system can be used to launch a projectile into space orbit. By employing rotational acceleration via a mechanical approach, the acceleration system provides a cost-effective reusable system for launching objects.
