The ELaNa-XV mission will be launched as an auxiliary payload on the STP-2 mission
on a Falcon 9 Heavy launch vehicle from Pad 39A at KSC, FL. The ELaNa-XV, will
deploy 3 pico-satellites (or CubeSats). The CubeSat slotted position is identified in Table
2: ELaNa-XV CubeSats. The ELaNa-XV manifest includes: ARMADILLO, LEO,
andStangSat. The current launch date is June 13, 2018). The (3) CubeSats will be ejected
from a PPOD carrier attached to the launch vehicle, placing the CubeSats in an orbit
approximately 300 X 860 km at inclination of 28.5 deg (ref. (c)).

The CubeSat standard form ranges in sizes from a 10 cm cube to 10 cm x 10cm x 30 cm,
with masses from about 1 kg to 4 kg total. The CubeSats have been designed and
universities and government agencies and each have their own mission goals.

ARMADILLO – UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS – 3U




        Figure 2: ARMADILLO Expanded View (Not Showing Solar Panels)


ARMADILLO will demonstrate the GPS Radio Occultation technique using a custom
dual frequency GPS receiver and characterize the sub-millimeter space debris
environment within the deployment orbit using a dedicated debris detector.

For this mission, the Texas Spacecraft Laboratory will utilize a software defined ground
station to communicate with the spacecraft and downlink science data. The spacecraft
uses the He-100 radio manufactured by Astronautical Development, LLC at uplink and
downlink baud rates of 9600 and 19200 bps respectively.

Upon deployment, the spacecraft will wait for a period specified by the Launch Provider,
then deploy its antennas and begin start up activities. These include detumble and
transmission of the spacecraft’s health beacon. After an initial checkout the spacecraft
operators will schedule a daily occultation observation—in which the spacecraft’s GPS
antenna is pointed in the anti-velocity vector—and extended periods of observation with
a debris detector pointed into the velocity vector. In conjunction with AMES Research
Center, the spacecraft will also be occasionally pointed to a ground station for laser
ranging experiments using a corner cube reflector. The primary mission will last at least 6
months, with extended operations continuing as long as the spacecraft is capable of doing
so.



                                                                                           8


The primary CubeSat structure is made of 6061-T6 aluminum. It contains all standard
commercial off the shelf (COTS) materials, electrical components, PCBs and solar cells.

There are no pressure vessels, hazardous or exotic materials.

The electrical power storage system consists of common lithium-ion 18650 cell batteries
with over-charge/current protection circuitry. They are the GOMSpace, ApS NanoPower
BP4 battery pack.

LEO – Cal Poly – 2U




                             Figure 3: LEO Expanded View


LEO will record launch vehicle ascent vibrational and thermal environments with two
accelerometers and a thermocouple and also record vibrational data taken by a second
CubeSat (StangSat) that will be transferred through WiFi during ascent.

Immediately prior to deployment from the P-POD, LEO will turn off its WiFi module
and upon deployment will take pictures of the StangSat CubeSat as they separate from
the dispenser. 45 minutes after deployment the antenna will be deployed and the UHF
beacon will be activated. For the first few passes the ground station operators will attempt
communications to perform checkouts of the spacecraft. Data collected by the CubeSat
will then be downlinked to the ground.

StangSat will record vibrational and shock measurements with two accelerometers
located on the top plate shown above. This dynamic data will also be transmitted to our
sister satellite LEO inside the PPOD over WiFi during launch.

Upon deployment from the P-POD, StangSat will be utilized as a ground reflective
object. StangSat has no capability to and will not transmit to the ground after deployment

The CubeSat structure is made of Aluminum 6061-T6. The side and bottom plate
contains all standard commercial off the shelf (COTS) materials, electrical components
and “PCB clips” provided by Pumpkin (www.cubesatkit.com). The top plate which
houses the accelerometers and signal board was custom machined and also made of
Aluminum 6061-T6.

Section 3: Assessment of Spacecraft Debris Released during Normal Operations

The assessment of spacecraft debris requires the identification of any object (>1 mm)
expected to be released from the spacecraft any time after launch, including object
dimensions, mass, and material.

The section 3 requires rationale/necessity for release of each object, time of release of
each object, relative to launch time, release velocity of each object with respect to
spacecraft, expected orbital parameters (apogee, perigee, and inclination) of each object
after release, calculated orbital lifetime of each object, including time spent in Low Earth
Orbit (LEO), and an assessment of spacecraft compliance with Requirements 4.3-1 and
4.3-2.

 No releases are planned on the ELaNa-XV CubeSat mission therefore this section is not
applicable.




                                                                                          13


Section 4: Assessment of Spacecraft Intentional Breakups and Potential for
Explosions.

There are NO plans for designed spacecraft breakups, explosions, or intentional
collisions on the ELaNa-XV mission.

The probability of battery explosion is very low, and, due to the very small mass of the
satellites and their short orbital lifetimes the effect of an explosion on the far-term low
earth orbit 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 lifetime of 3.7 years maximum the ELaNa-XV CubeSat is compliant.




                                                                                              14


Section 5: Assessment of Spacecraft Potential for On-Orbit Collisions

 Calculation of spacecraft probability of collision with space objects larger than 10 cm in
diameter during the orbital lifetime of the spacecraft takes into account both the mean
cross sectional area and orbital lifetime.

The largest mean cross sectional area (CSA) among the three CubeSats is that of the
ARMADILLO CubeSat (11.35 X 11.35 X 34 cm):

            Equation 2: Mean Cross Sectional Area for Complex Objects
All CubeSats evaluated for this ODAR are stowed in a convex configuration, indicating
there are no elements of the CubeSats obscuring another element of the same CubeSats
from view. Thus, mean CSA for all stowed CubeSats was calculated using Equation 1.
This configuration renders the longest orbital life times for all CubeSats.

Once a CubeSat has been ejected from the P-POD and deployables have been extended
Equation 2 is utilized to determine the mean CSA. Amax is identified as the view that
yields the maximum cross-sectional area. A1 and A2 are the two cross-sectional areas
orthogonal to Amax. Refer to Appendix A for dimensions used in these calculations

 The ARMADILLO CubeSat has an orbit at deployment of 300 km perigee altitude by
860 km apogee altitude, with an inclination of 28.5 degrees. With an area to mass (4.15
kg) ratio of 0.0109 m2/kg, DAS yields 3.7 years for orbit lifetime for its stowed state.
Even with the variation in CubeSat design and orbital lifetime ELaNa-XV CubeSats see
an average of 0.00000 probability of collision. ARMADILLO, with the largest cross
sectional area will see the highest probability of collision of 0.00000. Table 4 below
provides complete results.

There will be no post-mission disposal operation. As such the identification of all systems
and components required to accomplish post-mission disposal operation, including
passivation and maneuvering, is not applicable.

The probability of any ELaNa-XV spacecraft collision with debris and meteoroids greater
than 10 cm in diameter and capable of preventing post-mission disposal is less than
0.00000, for any configuration. This satisfies the 0.001 maximum probability requirement
4.5-1.

Since the CubeSats have no capability or plan for end-of-mission disposal, requirement
4.5-2 is not applicable.

Assessment of spacecraft compliance with Requirements 4.5-1 shows ELaNa-XV to be
compliant. Requirement 4.5-2 is not applicable to this mission.

Section 6: Assessment of Spacecraft Post-mission Disposal Plans and Procedures

All ELaNa-XV spacecraft will naturally decay from orbit within 25 years after end of the
mission, satisfying requirement 4.6-1a detailing the spacecraft disposal option.

Planning for spacecraft maneuvers to accomplish post-mission disposal is not applicable.
Disposal is achieved via passive atmospheric reentry.

Calculating the area-to-mass ratio for the worst-case (smallest Area-to-Mass) post-
mission disposal among the CubeSats finds ARMADILLO in its stowed configuration as
the worst case. The area-to-mass is calculated for is as follows:

                  !"#$ & ' ()"# (+, )                     +,
                                      = ()"# − 34 − !#.. ( )

          Equation 4: Area to Mass Calculation of ARMADILLO (Stowed)
ARMADILLO has the smallest Area-to-Mass ratio and as a result will have the longest
orbital lifetime (worst cast time to deorbit). The assessment of the spacecraft illustrates
they are compliant with Requirements 4.6-1 through 4.6-5.

DAS 2.0.2 Orbital Lifetime Calculations:

DAS inputs are: 300 km maximum perigee 860 km maximum apogee altitudes with an
inclination of 28.5 degrees at deployment in September of 2016. An area to mass ratio of
0.0109 m2/kg for the ARMADILLO CubeSat was imputed. DAS 2.0.2 yields a 3.7-year
orbit lifetime for ARMADILLO in its stowed state.

This meets requirement 4.6-1. For the complete list of CubeSat orbital lifetimes
reference.

Assessment results show compliance.


Section 7: Assessment of Spacecraft Reentry Hazards

A detailed assessment of the components to be flown on ELaNa-XV was performed. The
assessment used DAS 2.0, a conservative tool used by the NASA Orbital Debris Office to
verify Requirement 4.7-1. The analysis is intended to provide a bounding analysis for
characterizing the survivability of a CubeSat’s component during re-entry. For example,
when DAS shows a component surviving reentry it is not taking into account the material
ablating away or charring due to oxidative heating. Both physical effects are experienced
upon reentry and will decrease the mass and size of the real-life components as the
reenter the atmosphere, reducing the risk they pose still further.

The following steps are used to identify and evaluate a components potential reentry risk
relative to the 4.7-1 requirement of having less than 15 J of kinetic energy and a 1:10,000
probability of a human casualty in the event the survive reentry.

            1. Low melting temperature (less than 1000 °C) components are identified as
               materials that would never survive reentry and pose no risk to human
               casualty. This is confirmed through DAS analysis that showed materials
               with melting temperatures equal to or below that of copper (1080 °C) will
               always demise upon reentry for any size component up to the dimensions
               of a 1U CubeSat.

            2. The remaining high temperature materials are shown to pose negligible
               risk to human casualty through a bounding DAS analysis of the highest
               temperature components, stainless steel (1500°C). If a component is of
               similar dimensions and has a melting temperature between 1000 °C and
               1500°C, it can be expected to posses the same negligible risk as stainless
               steel components. See Table 4.

The majority of stainless steel components demise upon reentry. The components that
DAS conservatively identifies as reaching the ground have 1 or less joules of kinetic
energy, far below the requirement of 15 joules. No stainless steel component will pose a
risk to human casualty as defined by the Range Commander’s Council. In fact, any injury
incurred or inflicted by an object with such low energy would be negligible and wouldn’t

                                                                                                     18


require the individual to seek medical attention.

Through the method described above, Table 4: ELaNa-VX Stainless Steel DAS Analysis,
and the full component lists in the Appendix all CubeSats launching under the ELaNa-
XV mission are conservatively shown to be in compliance with Requirement 4.7-1 of
NASA-STD-8719.14A.
