ODAR Section 1: Program Management and Mission Overview
Project Manager: Chris Boshuizen
Foreign government or space agency participation: None.


Schedule of upcoming mission milestones:
       FRR:                                        July 2012
       Launch:                                     August 31, 2012

Mission Overview:
The Dove 2 mission is an internal company technology demonstration experiment to test the
capabilities of a low-cost spacecraft constrained to the 3U cubesat form factor to host a small
payload.

Dove 2 will do this by transmitting health and payload data to the ground. The payload data
consists of image data taken from an on board nadir pointing camera. The images will be
downlinked over the ISM frequency band at 2.4 GHz and the earth observation frequency
band at 8.2 GHz.

The dimensions of the spacecraft are consistent with CubeSat and P-POD standards. It is a
single unit with the dimensions of 10 cm X 10 cm X 33 cm. The total mass is about 5.8kg.
The estimated mission duration is up to 181 days in orbit but we request a one year FCC
license to be conservative.

Launch vehicle and launch site: Soyuz-2.1b, Baikonur/Tyuratam, Kazakhstan
Proposed launch date: 08/31/2012
Mission duration: 139-181 days in LEO operations until reentry via atmospheric orbital decay.
Launch and deployment profile, including all parking, transfer, and operational orbits
with apogee, perigee, and inclination:

                                                 Orbital Debris Assessment Report (ODAR)


       The Soyuz-2.1b will launch into a highly elliptical orbit. Once the final stage has burned
       out, the secondary payloads will be dispensed. After the secondary payloads are clear,
       the primary payload will separate. The primary payload is the Russian Bion-M biological
       research satellite. All payloads will re-enter in less than a year.


       The Dove-2 satellite will deploy to, and decay naturally from, an elliptical orbit defined
       as follows:
               Apogee: 290 km
               Perigee: 575 km
               Inclination: 64.9 degrees.
       Dove-2 has no propulsion and therefore does not actively change orbits. There is no
       parking or transfer orbit.



ODAR Section 2: Spacecraft Description
Physical description of the spacecraft:
Dove-2 is based on the 3U cubesat form factor. The design mass is 5.8 kg. Basic physical
dimensions are 100mm x 100mm x 340mm, with four 100mm x 300mm deployable solar
arrays.
The Dove-2 superstructure is custom built by the Cosmogia team. The load bearing structure is
basically comprised of three 100mm x 100mm skeleton plates, with L rails along each 300mm
corner edge. Four 100mm x 300mm solar arrays are spring-loaded to deploy from camera end of
the satellite, in a "dart" configuration.
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 four deployable solar panels.
Dove-2 attitude is approximately determined using the magnetic field vector from the onboard
magnetometers. Dove-2’s attitude will be controlled by a B-dot controller, comprised of 3 air-
core coil magnetorquers, and a gravity gradient boom to allow passive stabilization.
The communication subsystem consists of a S-band radio for two-way communication, an X
band radio for downlink, and an Iridium modem for telemetry and commanding.


Total satellite mass at launch, including all propellants and fluids: ~5.8 kg.
Dry mass of satellites at launch, excluding solid rocket motor propellants: ~5.8 kg
Description of all propulsion systems (cold gas, mono-propellant, bi-propellant, electric,
nuclear): None.
Identification, including mass and pressure, of all fluids (liquids and gases) planned to be
             Once this document has been printed it will be considered an uncontrolled document.

on board and a description of the fluid loading plan or strategies, excluding fluids in sealed
heat pipes: None
Fluids in Pressurized Batteries: None. Dove-2 uses unpressurized standard COTS Lithium-Ion
battery cells. Each battery has a height of 64.6mm, a diameter of 13.9 and a weight of 26.0
grams.
Description of attitude control system and indication of the normal attitude of the
spacecraft with respect to the velocity vector: Dove-2’s attitude be controlled by a B-dot
controller, comprised of 3 air-core coil magnetorquers, which will allow the satellite to be
aligned relative to the Earth’s magnetic field. These will allow the satellite to despin and 'lock' to
the magnetic field. Additionally the satellite has an approximately 1-2m gravity gradient boom
that will allow the satellite to be passively nadir-locked.
Description of any range safety or other pyrotechnic devices: No pyrotechnic devices are
used.
Description of the electrical generation and storage system: Standard COTS Lithium-Ion
battery cells are charged before payload integration and provide electrical energy during the
mission until depleted. The cells are recharged by solar arrays mounted on the satellite body.
The charging cycle is managed by the battery cell protection circuit.
Identification of any other sources of stored energy not noted above: None.
Identification of any radioactive materials on board: None.

ODAR Section 4: Assessment of Spacecraft Intentional Breakups and
Potential for Explosions.
Potential causes of spacecraft breakup during deployment and mission operations:
       There is no credible scenario that would result in spacecraft breakup during normal
       deployment and operations.
Summary of failure modes and effects analyses of all credible failure modes which may
lead to an accidental explosion:
       In-mission failure of a battery cell protection circuit could lead to a short circuit resulting
       in overheating and a very remote possibility of battery cell explosion. The battery safety
       systems discussed in the FMEA (see requirement 4.4-1 below) describe the combined
       faults that must occur for any of seven (7) independent, mutually exclusive failure modes
       to lead to explosion. The deployment of the four solar arrays will feature an extremely
       simple spring and stopper system. The probability of a detachment during deployment is
       negligible.
Detailed plan for any designed spacecraft breakup, including explosions and intentional
collisions:
       There are no planned breakups.
List of components which shall be passivated at End of Mission (EOM) including method
of passivation and amount which cannot be passivated:
       None.
Rationale for all items which are required to be passivated, but cannot be due to their
design:
       Due to short duration of the mission before passive reentry and burn up, the lithium-ion
       batteries (total mass of 208 grams) are deemed not necessary to passivate for EOM.
Assessment of spacecraft compliance with Requirements 4.4-1 through 4.4-4:
       Requirement 4.4-1: Limiting the risk to other space systems from accidental
       explosions during deployment and mission operations while in orbit about Earth or the
       Moon:

       For each spacecraft and launch vehicle orbital stage employed for a mission, the program
       or project shall demonstrate, via failure mode and effects analyses or equivalent analyses,
       that the integrated probability of explosion for all credible failure modes of each
       spacecraft and launch vehicle is less than 0.001 (excluding small particle impacts)
       (Requirement 56449).

          Required Probability: 0.001.
          Expected probability: 0.000.


 Supporting Rationale and FMEA details:
 Battery explosion:
 Effect: All failure modes below might result in battery explosion with the
 possibility of orbital debris generation. However, in the unlikely event that a
 battery cell does explosively rupture, the small size, mass, and potential energy, of
 these small batteries is such that while the spacecraft could be expected to vent
 gases, most debris from the battery rupture should be contained within the vessel
 due to the lack of penetration energy.
 Probability: Extremely Low. It is believed to be less than 0.1% given that
 multiple independent (not common mode) faults must occur for each failure mode
 to cause the ultimate effect (explosion). Additionally, the expected maximum
 satellite lifetime is less than 3 weeks - in the unlikely event of debris generation
 these objects will rapidly reenter.


 Failure mode 1: Internal short circuit.
 Mitigation 1: Qualification and acceptance shock, vibration, thermal cycling, and
 vacuum tests followed by maximum system rate-limited charge and discharge to
 prove that no internal short circuit sensitivity exists.
 Combined faults required for realized failure: Environmental testing AND
 functional charge/discharge tests must both be ineffective in discovery of the
 failure mode.

 Failure Mode 2: Internal thermal rise due to high load discharge rate.
 Mitigation 2: Cells were tested in lab for high load discharge rates in a variety of
 flight like configurations to determine if the feasibility of an out of control
 thermal rise in the cell. Cells were also tested in a hot environment to test the
 upper limit of the cells capability. No failures were seen.
 Combined faults required for realized failure: Spacecraft thermal design must be
 incorrect AND external over current detection and disconnect function must fail
 to enable this failure mode.

 Failure Mode 3: Excessive discharge rate or short circuit due to external device
 failure or terminal contact with conductors not at battery voltage levels (due to
 abrasion or inadequate proximity separation).
 Mitigation 4: This failure mode is negated by a) qualification tested short circuit
 protection on each external circuit, b) design of battery packs and insulators such
 that no contact with nearby board traces is possible without being caused by some
 other mechanical failure, c) obviation of such other mechanical failures by proto-

       qualification and acceptance environmental tests (shock, vibration, thermal
       cycling, and thermal-vacuum tests).
       Combined faults required for realized failure: An external load must fail/short-
       circuit AND external over-current detection and disconnect function must all
       occur to enable this failure mode.

       Failure Mode 4: Inoperable vents.
       Mitigation 5: Battery vents are not inhibited by the battery holder design or the
       spacecraft.
       Combined effects required for realized failure: The final assembler fails to install
       proper venting.

       Failure Mode 5: Crushing.
       Mitigation 6: This mode is negated by spacecraft design. There are no moving
       parts in the proximity of the batteries.
       Combined faults required for realized failure: A catastrophic failure must occur
       in an external system AND the failure must cause a collision sufficient to crush
       the batteries leading to an internal short circuit AND the satellite must be in a
       naturally sustained orbit at the time the crushing occurs.

       Failure Mode 6: Low level current leakage or short-circuit through battery pack
       case or due to moisture-based degradation of insulators.
       Mitigation 7: These modes are negated by a) battery holder/case design made of
       non-conductive plastic, and b) operation in vacuum such that no moisture can
       affect insulators.
       Combined faults required for realized failure: Abrasion or piercing failure of
       circuit board coating or wire insulators AND dislocation of battery packs AND
       failure of battery terminal insulators AND failure to detect such failures in
       environmental tests must occur to result in this failure mode.

       Failure Mode 7: Excess temperatures due to orbital environment and high
       discharge combined.
       Mitigation 8: The spacecraft thermal design will negate this possibility. Thermal
       rise has been analyzed in combination with space environment temperatures
       showing that batteries do not exceed normal allowable operating temperatures
       which are well below temperatures of concern for explosions.
       Combined faults required for realized failure: Thermal analysis AND thermal
       design AND mission simulations in thermal-vacuum chamber testing AND over-
       current monitoring and control must all fail for this failure mode to occur.


Requirement 4.4-2: Design for passivation after completion of mission operations while
in orbit about Earth or the Moon:

      Design of all spacecraft and launch vehicle orbital stages shall include the ability to
      deplete all onboard sources of stored energy and disconnect all energy generation sources
      when they are no longer required for mission operations or postmission disposal or
      control to a level which can not cause an explosion or deflagration large enough to
      release orbital debris or break up the spacecraft (Requirement 56450).

             Compliance statement:
             Dove-2's battery charge circuits include overcharge protection and a parallel
             design to limit the risk of battery failure. However, in the unlikely event that a
             battery cell does explosively rupture, the small size, mass, and potential energy, of
             these small batteries is such that while the spacecraft could be expected to vent
             gases, most debris from the battery rupture should be contained within the vessel
             due to the lack of penetration energy.

      Requirement 4.4-3. Limiting the long-term risk to other space systems from planned
      breakups:

             Compliance statement:
             This requirement is not applicable. There are no planned breakups.

      Requirement 4.4-4: Limiting the short-term risk to other space systems from planned
      breakups:

             Compliance statement:
             This requirement is not applicable. There are no planned breakups.

Collisions
Assessment of spacecraft compliance with Requirements 4.5-1 and 4.5-2 (per DAS v2.0.1,

           • Leave the space structure in an orbit in which natural forces will lead to
               atmospheric reentry within 25 years after the completion of mission but no more
               than 30 years after launch; or
           • Maneuver the space structure into a controlled de-orbit trajectory as soon as
               practical after completion of mission.

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 Dove-2 is compliant with the
       requirement. There is a low probability of the Invar telescope tube reaching the ground
       (see DAS input data below for input parameters). However, the DAS software does not
       allow explicit modeling of a thin cylindrical tube wall (inputs are cylinder shape and
       thermal mass), so these numbers are expected to be larger than anticipated. Total human
       casualty probability is reported by the DAS software as 1:154200. This is expected to
       represent the absolute maximum casualty risk, as calculated with DAS's limited modeling
       capability.

       =============== End of Requirement 4.7-1 ===============

       Requirements 4.7-1b, and 4.7-1c below are non-applicable requirements because Dove-2
       does not use controlled reentry.

       4.7-1, b) NOT APPLICABLE. For controlled reentry, the selected trajectory shall
       ensure that no surviving debris impact with a kinetic energy greater than 15 joules is
       closer than 370 km from foreign landmasses, or is within 50 km from the continental
       U.S., territories of the U.S., and the permanent ice pack of Antarctica (Requirement
       56627).
       4.7-1 c) NOT APPLICABLE. For controlled reentries, the product of the probability of
       failure of the reentry burn (from Requirement 4.6-4.b) and the risk of human casualty
       assuming uncontrolled reentry shall not exceed 0.0001 (1:10,000) (Requirement 56628).


ODAR Section 8: Assessment for Tether Missions
Not applicable. There are no tethers in the Dove-2 mission.
