The ELaNa-XV mission will be launched as an auxiliary payload on the STP-2 mission
on a (Falcon 9 Heavy) launch vehicle from 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,
StangSat. The current launch date is in (Sept 15, 2016). 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)).

Each CubeSat 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.




                                                                                            6


 Section 2: Spacecraft Description


 There are three CubeSats flying on the ELaNa-XV. The CubeSats will be deployed out of
 2 PPODs, as shown in Table 2: ELaNa-XV CubeSats below.

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 [TBD] 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 [TBD]
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.




                                                                                          9


LEO – Cal Poly – 2U




                            Figure 3: LEO Expanded View


LEO will record vibrational and thermal measurements with two accelerometers and a
thermocouple and also record vibrational data taken by a second CubeSat that will be
transferred through WiFi during launch.

Upon deployment from the P-POD, LEO will turn off its WiFi module and take pictures
of the StangSat CubeSat as they separate. 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 from the requested EOI (events of interest) will then be able to be downlinked.

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

                          Figure 4: StangSat Expanded View


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
while also bleeding down batteries to an acceptable level for reentry. StangSat has no
capability to and will not transmit to the ground with our low power WiFi transmission.
No additional transmission capability exists on StangSat.

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.

StangSat contains no pressure vessels, hazardous or exotic materials.

The electrical power storage system consists of Clyde Space procured lithium polymer
batteries with over-charge/current protection circuitry included on the EPS module.

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 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 lifetime of 1.3 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 (10 X 10 X 30 cm):

                           !"#$%&'!!"#$       !∗ !∗! +!∗ !∗!
            !"#$!!"# = !                   =
                                 !                       !
             Equation 1: Mean Cross Sectional Area for Convex Objects


                                        !!"# + !! + !!
                            !"#$!!"# = !
                                               !
            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 0.009 m2/kg, DAS yields 4.0 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 Postmission 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 postmission 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 StangSat in its stowed configuration as the
worst case. The area-to-mass is calculated for is as follows:

                  !"#$! ! ! !"#$!(!! )                     !!
                                       = !"#$ − !" − !"##!( )
                     !"##!(!")                             !"


                               Equation 3: Area to Mass


                              0.0174!!!           !!
                                         = !0.023
                                !0.77!"           !"
            Equation 4: Area to Mass Calculation of StangSat (Deployed)
StangSat has the smallest Area-to-Mass ratio and as a result will have the longest orbital
lifetime. 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
0.009 m2/kg for the ARMADILLO CubeSat was imputed. DAS 2.0.2 yields a 4.0 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
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

                                                                                                          18
