ODAR Section 1: Program Management and Mission Overview  
  
Project Manager: Tinh Tran  


Foreign Government or Space Agency Participation: The Ecuadorian Space Agency (EXA)
will provide many of the necessary parts for the CubeSat, including the batteries and the solar
panels. India will control the launch vehicle, which will be launched from Sriharikota, India.  


Schedule of Upcoming Mission Milestones:  
       Mission kickoff date: March 1, 2016  
       Design review date: April 29, 2016  
       Delivery date: April 1, 2016  
       Tentative Launch Date: June 1, 2017  


Mission Overview:  
IRVINE01 will be dispensed from a PPOD 3U CubeSat dispenser into an estimated orbit of 500
km Apogee and 600 km Perigee with an inclination of 97 degrees. The mission is expected to
remain in orbit for approximately 6 months. During this time, our payload will take pictures of
celestial objects, such as the Moon and Venus, as well as collect other data using our sun sensors,
GPS, and other necessary equipment.  


ODAR Summary:  
No debris released in normal operations; no credible scenario for breakups; the collision
probability with other objects is compliant with NASA standards; and the estimated nominal
decay lifetime due to atmospheric drag is under 25 years following operations.

Launch Vehicle and Launch Site:  
PSLV, Sriharikota, India  


Proposed Launch Date:  
June 1, 2017  


Mission Duration:  
Normal mission operations will take place until contact is lost, or some other mission detrimental
factor causes a failure of essential systems. The natural decay time of the CubeSat is 6 months.
  
Launch and deployment profile, including all parking, transfer, and operational orbits
with apogee, perigee, and inclination:   
The launch vehicle will be dispensing various payloads into a nearly circular 500 km sun-
synchronous orbit.  
IRVINE01 will decay from an orbit defined as follows:  
       Perigee: 500 km  
       Apogee: 600 km  
       Orbital Inclination: 97 degrees

ODAR Section 2: Spacecraft Description  




                                                                                                     
Physical description of the spacecraft: IRVINE01 conforms to the 1U CubeSat specification,
with a launch mass of 1.2 kg. Basic physical dimensions are 100mm x 100mm x 106mm, with
two solar panels with 170mm x 85mm x 2mm extended dimensions. The IRVINE01 solar panel
structure is comprised of two 100mm x 100mm plates that are extended. The solar arrays are
spring-loaded and burn-wire deployed. Power storage is provided by Lithium-Ion cells. The
batteries will be recharged by solar cells mounted on the body of the satellite and on the two
deployable solar panels. IRVINE01 attitude is approximately determined using the magnetic
field vector, measured by onboard magnetometers. The IRVINE01’s attitude will be controlled
by a 3-axis magnetorquer controller.   

Total satellite mass at launch, including all propellants and fluids: ~1.2 kg.   

Dry mass of satellites at launch, excluding solid rocket motor propellants: ~1.2 kg

ODAR Section 4: Assessment of Spacecraft Intentional Breakups and Potential for
Explosion                
  
There are NO plans for designed spacecraft breakups, explosions, or intentional collisions on the
IRVINE01 mission.
  
The probability of battery explosion is very low, and, due to the very small mass of the satellite
and its short orbital lifetime, the effect of an explosion on the far-term LEO environment is
negligible (ref (H)).   

The CubeSats batteries still meet Req. 56450 (4.4-2) by virtue of the HQ OSMA policy
regarding CubeSat battery disconnect stating;   

“CubeSats as a satellite class need not disconnect their batteries if flown in LEO with orbital
lifetimes less than 25 years.” (ref. (H)).   

Assessment of spacecraft compliance with Requirements 4.4-1 through 4.4-4 shows that with a
maximum possible lifetime of 6 months the IRVINE01 CubeSat is compliant.

Assessment of spacecraft compliance with Requirements 4.5-1 and 4.5-2 (per DAS v2.0.1,
and calculation methods provided in NASA-STD-8719.14, section 4.5.4):  
                                      
      Requirement 4.5-1: Limiting debris generated by collisions with large objects when
      operating in Earth orbit:  
      For each spacecraft and launch vehicle orbital stage in or passing through LEO, the
      program or project shall demonstrate that, during the orbital lifetime of each spacecraft
      and orbital stage, the probability of accidental collision with space objects larger than 10
      cm in diameter is less than 0.001 (Requirement 56506).                                 
                                      
      Large Object Impact and Debris Generation Probability: (DAS 2.0.2)

      The above analysis results are a product of the DAS 2.0.2 software. We then assume hard
      spheres of diameter 1 m for IRVINE01   
                                               
      Requirement 4.5-2: Limiting debris generated by collisions with small objects when
      operating in Earth or lunar orbit:  
      For each spacecraft, the program or project shall demonstrate that, during the mission of  
      the spacecraft, the probability of accidental collision with orbital debris and meteoroids   
      sufficient to prevent compliance with the applicable post-mission disposal requirements
      is less than 0.01 (Requirement 56507).  
                       
      Small Object Impact and Debris Generation Probability:                                
      IRVINE01; Collision Probability: 0.00000      COMPLIANT.  
                                               
      Identification of all systems or components required to accomplish any post-mission
      disposal operation, including passivation and maneuvering:  
      No post-mission disposal procedures are necessary, since the satellite’s orbit will
      naturally decay within 6 months.

ODAR Section 6: Assessment of Spacecraft Post-mission Disposal Plans and
Procedure  
  
6.1: Description of Spacecraft Disposal Option Selected:  
        IRVINE01 will de-orbit naturally by atmospheric re-entry within 6 months. All
components will burn up during re-entry.  
  
6.2: Plan for Any Spacecraft Maneuvers Required to Accomplish Post-Mission Disposal:  
        No maneuvers are required.  
  
6.3: Calculation of Area-to-Mass Ratio After Post-Mission Disposal, if the Controlled Re-
entry Option is Not Selected:  
       Spacecraft Mass: 1.2 kg   
       Cross-Sectional Area: 141 cm2  
  
6.4: Assessment of Spacecraft Compliance with Requirements 4.6-1 Through 4.6-5 (per
DAS v. 2.0.1 and NASA-STD-8719.14 Section):  
         Requirement 4.6-1: Disposal for Space Structures Passing Through LEO:  
         A spacecraft or orbital stage with a perigee altitude below 2000 km shall be disposed of
by one of three methods (Requirement 56557):  
    a.   Atmospheric Re-Entry Option:
             ○   Leave the space structure in an orbit in which natural forces will lead to
                 atmospheric reentry within 25 years after the completion of mission by no more
                 than 30 years after launch.  
             ○   Maneuver the space structure into a controlled de-orbit trajectory as soon as
                 practical after completion of mission.\  
    b.   Storage Orbit Option:
             ○   Maneuver the space structure into an orbit with perigee altitude greater than
                 2000 km and apogee less than GEO - 500 km.  
    c.   Direct Retrieval:
             ○   Retrieve the space structure and remove it from orbit within 10 years after
                 completion of mission.  
Analysis: The IRVINE01 satellite re-entry is COMPLIANT using method “I”.

ODAR Section 7: Assessment of Spacecraft Reentry Hazards  
  
Assessment of spacecraft compliance with Requirement 4.7-1:   
  
       Requirement 4.7-1: Limit the risk of human casualty:   
       The potential for human casualty is assumed for any object with an impacting kinetic
       energy in excess of 15 joules:   
       a) For uncontrolled reentry, the risk of human casualty from surviving debris shall not
       exceed 0.0001 (1:10,000) (Requirement 56626).   
  
       Summary Analysis Results: DAS v2.0.1 reports that IRVINE01 is compliant with the
       requirement. There will be no risk of human casualty during reentry because it will
       completely burn up in the atmosphere.
