Overview

The Cooling, Pointing, Annealing Satellite (CAPSat) is a CubeSat under development by
the University of Illinois and Bradley University. The mission, which is expected to last
approximately one year, encompasses three technology demonstrations, each advancing
the technology readiness level of NASA roadmap technologies. The experiments are:
strain—actuated deployable panels for improved pointing control and jitter reduction, an
active thermal control system, and single—photon avalanche detectors (SPADs) to test
methods of mitigating space radiation damage.


CONOPS

Thirty minutes after all three separations switches register deployment, the power board
will set a flag to initiate full boot. The C&DH will be brought online, and attempt to fire
the thermal knives to release the antenna. After three attempts, it will begin a Bdot
detumbling algorithm to attempt to reduce all angular motion. Beaconing will begin after
the antenna has attempted deployment. Once we are able to uplink its TLE and a date
stamp update, the ADCS algorithm will switch to controlling the satellite such that
service plate is the ram. After a few weeks of commissioning and testing the payloads,
science operations will begin. Data will be transmitted down on the NanoCom AX100
radio to our ground station. Science will continue until the satellite re—enters.


Materials

Satellite structure is made from AL60601T6, while the solar panels are Carbon fiber with
an aluminum backing. The Cooling Payload consists of many small stainless steel
components and its deployable panel is made of carbon fiber. The annealing payload is
comprised of two circuit boards. The Pointing Payload is mostly circuit boards with an
iron vibration motor and its deployable panel is made of a thing sheet of stainless steel.



Hazards

Regarding the restriction on pressure vessels for this launch, one of the CAPSat payloads
contains a fluid loop containing 50/50 glycol/water, which under normal atmospheric
conditions would not be considered a pressure vessel. The system has an operating
pressure limit of 29.4 PSIA and a safety margin will be placed on the operating pressure
of the system. The payload will undergo thorough leak and pressure testing in addition to
standard vacuum, thermal, and vibration testing. There are no other hazards or exotic
materials.


Power System/Batteries

The electrical power storage system consists of common lithium—ion batteries with over—
charge/current protection circuitry. The charging system incorporates an MPPT logic.
The lithium batteries carry the UL—listing number MH12210.




                                                                                        10

Overview

CySat will operate in a Low Earth Orbit (LEO) environment to test out a state—of—the—art
radiometer payload based off a Software Defined Radio (SDR) to observe the Earth and
measure the soil moisture.




CONOPS

Once CySat is deployed power will begin flowing and the countdown timers for the
deployable antenna and the communication subsystem will initiate. After 45 minutes
have passed, the antenna will deploy. The ground station, will then attempt to pick up
CySat‘s beacon and establish contact. The satellite will be in a passive mode at this point,
and will stay in this mode for roughly the first 24 hours of operations. This involves an
ASCII message containing minimal system status information and a welcome message
for radio amateurs. A command will then be sent to CySat to ensure health and
housekeeping data is gathered. This will continue for no more than a week. Once
functions are determined to be nominal, CySat will be transitioned for primary operations
and all primary payload routines will be active at this time. Payload activities are desired
to continue for at least one year.


Materials

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




                                                                                                    11


Hazards

There are no pressure vessels, hazardous or exotic materials.


Batteries

The electrical power storage system consists of Lithium ion batteries with cell
overcurrent — charge, cell overcurrent — discharge, cell voltage and cell under — voltage
protection circuits on each cell as well as on the entire battery assembly. Additional over
— current bus protection and battery under — voltage protection is also provided by the
electric power system (EPS). The UL — listing number for the batteries is: UL 1642.

Overview

Phoenix is a 3U CubeSat designed to study the Urban Heat Island Effect over several US
cities. The payload is the Tau2 640 infrared camera, which is a commercially available,
uncooled microbolometer produced by FLIR Technologies.



CcoONOPS

After the satellite is deployed from the ISS, it will initiate power to it components and
start a countdown timer. After 30 minutes, the UHF antenna will deploy. After 45
minutes, the UHF beacon will be activated to communicate satellite health. Phoenix will
undergo a week of checkout operations, where mission operators will monitor the health
of the satellite, capture calibration images, and solidify the satellite‘s trajectory before
beginning the mission objective. Mission operations are expected to last up to two years,
and yield a total of 8,000 thermal IR images before the satellite re—enters.


Materials

Phoenix is comprised of COTS hardware. Therefore, all electrical components, PCBs,
and solar cells are rated for the environment of space. The chassis is made of Aluminum
7075—16. Stainless—steel bolts will be used to assemble the chassis and all cabling will be
comprised of copper alloy material.

Overview

SPACE HAUC will demonstrate that high data transmission rates can be achieved by
using a X—Band Phased—Array antenna with an electronically steered beam on a CubeSat.



CONOPS

Immediately upon deployment, SPACE HAUC will power up anddetermine if it is spin
stabilized. If not, the Attitude Determination and Control System will stabilize the spin.
It will then determine if it is sun pointed, if not the Attitude Determination and Control
System will point SPACE HAUC at the sun. SPACE HAUC will then wait for a beacon
signal from the ground, upon receipt of the beacon, SPACE HAUC will take pictures of
the sun and transmit them down. The process of waiting for the beacon signal will be
repeated whenever the beacon signal is lost.


Materials

The CubeSat structure is made of Aluminum 7075—T6. It contains all standard
commercial off the shelf (COTS) materials, electrical components, PCBs and solar cells
except for the RF front end board and patch antennas which are custom designed. The
high—speed radio uses a ceramic patch antenna.




                                                                                                     15


Hazards

There are no pressure vessels, hazardous, or exotic materials..

Batteries

The lithium—ion battery is charged with all the available power from the photo—voltaic
inputs that is not drained by the loads on the external power busses. The battery is
protected against voltage being too high or too low.

The software high voltage protection implements a constant voltage charge scheme that
will keep the battery at its maximum voltage. The full mode regulation works by
lowering voltage on the solar panel inputs, thereby only taking in the power needed.

The software low voltage protection is a four state system. Should the battery voltage
drop below 7.2 V, the battery hardware will switch to a ‘safe mode‘ configuration, which
allows for the switching off of all essential systems and leaves only a simple power
beacon running. Should the battery drop below 6.5 V, the software will switch off all user
outputs.

Overview

TJREVERB (Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology Research and
Education Vehicle for Evaluating Radio Broadcasts) will be a 2U CubeSat with magnetic
torque control. It will be using a VHF APRS transceiver on 145.825MHz for command
and control. It will also have a 2.2—2.3 GHz transceiver and a 1.616—1.6265 GHz short
burst data (SBD) modem to test the ability to send and receive data packets and compare
the usage of the Near Earth Network and the Tridium satellite network. The SBD modem
will also provide secondary command and control.


CONOPS

Thirty mins after deployment, the spacecraft will deploy its antenna and start to
detumble. After 45 mins the spacecraft establishes communications link, establish GPS
link, clock synch, orbit determination daily, transmit AMSAT APRS signals, and perform
operations modes (Charging, Comms check, and update) and science modes. Science
modes consist of running various transmission activities while orbiting in various attitude
orientations modes such as spin—stabilized and 3—axis regulation.

Materials

TJREVERB‘s chassis is made of Aluminum 606. It contains standard commercial off—
the—shelf (COTS) materials, electrical components, PCBs and solar cells.



                                                                                                                                                                     17

Overview

The Undergraduate Nano Ionospheric Temperature Explorer (UNITE) CubeSat is a 3U
nanosatellite that will explore Low Earth Orbit until re—entry into the atmosphere around
90 km. The mission of UNITE is to conduct space weather measurements with a
Langmuir plasma probe, measure interior and exterior temperature of the craft, and model
the craft‘s orbit in the final hours of re—entry. The lower ionosphere is a relatively
unexplored region of space and the scientific data collected and transmitted by UNITE
will contribute to the understanding of the region.


CONOPS

Once deployed, the satellite‘s inhibit switches will be released. However, the satellite will
not power on until the solar panels receive light. This is due to the "solar enable" feature
of the EPS purchased from NearSpace Launch that acts as a third inhibit mechanism to
the satellite powering on. Once powered on, no transmissions will be made for the first
45 minutes. Once this initial deployment period has passed, the satellite will begin
collecting data and transmitting to the Globalstar satellite constellation. All transmission
from UNITE will be to the Globalstar constellation as no ground station is used for the
UNITE mission. The software of UNITE will change the rates of data collection and
transmission based on the altitude. The satellite will continue to collect data and transmit
until it burns up during re—entry.

Materials

The structure of UNITE is a 3U chassis made of anodized 6061 aluminum. External to
the chassis are solar panels, consisting of PCB and glass covered solar cells, and ceramic
patch antennae. The internal components of the satellite are commercial off the shelf



                                                                                                                            19


(COTS) materials, two 1/8" thick aluminum plates (optical benches in exploded view),
copper ballast masses, electrical components, PCBs, and batteries.


Hazards

There are no pressure vessels, hazardous or exotic materials.


Ratteries

There are four 2—cell lithium—polymer battery packs on UNITE, bringing the maximum
total stored energy to 64 watt—hours. Each battery pack contains over—charge/current
protection circuitry. The NearSpace Launch EPS that interfaces with the batteries also
contains over—current and over—voltage protection. The UL listing number for the
batteries is 30156—1.

Overview

The Virginia CubeSat Constellation (VCC) mission is a joint operation between teams at
Old Dominion University, University of Virginia, Virginia Tech, and Hampton
University. ODU, UVA, and VT are each building 1U CubeSats (Aeternitas, Libertas,
and Ceres, respectively) that will fly in low earth orbit. The universities are working
collaboratively as each university builds its own 1U CubeSat and the data collected is to
be shared between the three universities. The mission objectives are to provide
undergraduate students with a hands—on flight project experience, to obtain data on
atmospheric density and variability in LEO. A Hampton University student team will
perform analysis of spacecraft attitude, location, and orbital data to measure variations in
atmospheric density in low earth orbit. Differing from Libertas and Ceres, Aeternitas will
deploy a petal—like drag brake (similar to a deployable solar panel array) and will deorbit
at an accelerated rate for the purposes of providing additional atmospheric drag data.


CONOPS

After deployment from the NanoRacks deployer and remaining off for the required
3O0min, the antenna will deploy. Once enough power has been stored and the attitude has
been determined, detumbling via magnetorquers will commence in short bursts. Once the

                                                                                                       21


desired attitude stabilization is reached, Aeternitas will proceed with normal operations in
which attitude and GPS data is recorded. The scientific data, and health updates will be
downlinked to the ODU ground station during overflights. After initial data has been
collected and downlinked, Aeternitas will deploy four drag brake petals that will remain
connected to the satellite during de—orbit.

Materials

Aeternitas‘ chassis is made of Aluminum 6061—16. It contains standard commercial off—
the—shelf (COTS) materials, electrical components, PCBs and solar cells. The Aeternitas‘
payload includes a ceramic patch antenna and the cover plate for the antenna assembly
will be printed from Windform.


Hazards

There are no pressure vessels, hazardous, or exotic materials.


Batteries

Aeternitas is using the GOMspace NanoPower P31u EPS which controls the charging
and discharging of two 1—cell lithium—ion batteries. The EPS features under—voltage and
over—voltage protection as well as over—current protection via power distribution
switches.

Old Dominion University, University of Virginia, Virginia Tech, and Hampton
University. ODU, UVA, and VT are each building 1U CubeSats (Aeternitas, Libertas,
and Ceres, respectively) that will fly in low earth orbit. The universities are working
collaboratively as each university builds its own 1U CubeSat and the data collected is to
be shared between the three universities. The mission objectives are to provide
undergraduate students with a hands—on flight project experience, to obtain data on _
atmospheric density and variability in LEO. A Hampton University student team will
perform analysis of spacecraft attitude, location, and orbital data to measure variations in
atmospheric density in low earth orbit.


CONOPS

Upon deployment from NanoRacks, Libertas will initiate a 30 minute countdown timer
before powering up, as required by the NanoRacks deployer ICD. The satellite will enter
a commissioning period in which the satellite has its initial power—up, deploys the UHF
antenna if there is sufficient battery power available, and performs a system health check.
The CubeSat will detumble using a passive magnetic attitude control system. Once the
desired attitude stabilization is reached, Libertas will proceed with normal operations in



                                                                                                                                  23


which attitude and GPS data is recorded. This data and health updates will be downlinked
to the UVA ground station during overflights.


Material

The Pumpkin CubeSat Kit 1U chassis is constructed primarily from Aluminum 5052.
Internal components are either commercial—off—the—shelf or fabricated from common
materials such as custom PCBs and aluminum brackets inside the spacecraft for securing
magnets used for PMAC and separation switches.


Hazards

There are no pressure vessels, hazardous, or exotic materials.

Power Systems/Hazards

The electrical power storage system will consist of a Clyde Space 3rd Generation. EPS
and battery system that uses lithium—ion polymer cells with over—charge/current
protection circuitry.

                                                                                          25


CONOPS

Following deployment, Ceres will power up and start a countdown timer. After thirty
minutes have passed, a UHF turnstile antenna will be deployed. For the first few passes
the ground station operators will attempt communications to perform checkouts of the
spacecraft. Following successful checkout, the primary science mission will begin and
continue for at least 3 months. This includes recording attitude and GPS data. The
scientific data, and health updates will be downlinked to the VT ground station during
overflights.



Materials

The CubeSat rail structure and skeleton is made of Aluminum 5052—H32. Non—critical
parts of the chassis are made of a 3D printed Ultem 1010 derivative with added carbon
nanotubes, similar to GSC31264. It contains all standard commercial off the shelf
(COTS) materials, electrical components, PCBs and solar cells.


Hazards

There are no pressure vessels, hazardous or exotic materials.


Batteries

The electrical power storage system consists of a Clyde Space 3rd Generation EPS and
battery system that uses lithium—ion polymer cells with over—charge/current protection
circuitry..




                                                                                         26


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—21 CubeSat mission therefore this section is not
applicable.




                                                                                         27


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—21 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))


Limitations in space and mass prevent the inclusion of the necessary resources to
disconnect the battery or the solar arrays at EOM. However, the low charges and small
battery cells on the CubeSat‘s power system prevents a catastrophic failure, so that
passivation at EOM is not necessary to prevent an explosion or deflagration large enough
to release orbital debris.

The 6U CubeSat in this complement satisfy Requirements 4.4—1 and 4.4—2 if their
batteries at equipped with protection circuitry, and they meet International Space Station
(ISS) safety requirements for secondary payloads. Additionally, these CubeSats are being
deployed from a very low altitude (ISS orbits at approximately 400 km), meaning any
accidental explosions during mission operations or post—mission will have negligible
long—term effects to the space environment.

Assessment of spacecraft compliance with Requirements 4.4—1 through 4.4—4 shows that
with a maximum CubeSat lifetime of 3.9 years maximum, the ELaNa—21 CubeSats are
compliant.




                                                                                           28


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 13 CubeSats is that of the
SPACE HAUC CubeSat with solar arrays deployed.

All CubeSats evaluated for this ODAR are stowed in a convex configuration, indicating
thereare no elements of the CubeSats obscuring another element of the same CubeSats
from view. Thus, the 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 NanoRacks dispenser 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 A» are the two cross—
sectional areas orthogonal to Amax. Refer to Appendix A for component dimensions used
in these calculations

 The SPACE HAUC (2.9 kg) orbit at deployment is 408 km apogee altitude by 400 km
perigee altitude, with an inclination of 51.6 degrees. With an area to mass ratio of
0.00398 m*/kg, DAS yields 3.9 years for orbit lifetime for its stowed state, which in turn

                                                                                                       29


is used to obtain the collision probability. Even with the variation in CubeSat design and
orbital lifetime ELaNa—21 CubeSats see an average of 0.0 probability of collision. All
CubeSats on ELaNa—21 were calculated to have a probability of collision of 0.0. Table 3
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—21 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.

  The VCC CubeSat Aeternitas will deploy a petal—like drag brake, for the purpose of
  providing data regarding drag effects upon its orbit. This feature does not increase the
  probability of on—orbit collision. The ELaNa—21 CubeSats have no capability or plan for
  end—of—mission disposal, therefore requirement 4.5—2 is not applicable.

  In summary, assessment of spacecraft compliance with Requirements 4.5—1 shows
 ©ELaNa—21 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—21 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 SPACE HAUC in its stowed configuration as
  the worst case. The area—to—mass is calculated for is as follows:

                    Mean C/SArea (m")          a                 m       m
                    W =                            Area — to —       Mass (E)

                                Equation 3: Area to Mass

                                     29kg      _         kg

  SPACE HAUC 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 2.1.1 Orbital Lifetime Calculations:
  DAS inputs are: 408 km maximum apogee 400 km maximum perigee altitudes with an
  inclination of 51.6° at deployment no earlier than April 2018. An area to mass ratio of
  ~0.004 m*/kg for the SPACE HAUC CubeSat was used. DAS 2:1.1 yields a 3.9 years
  orbit lifetime for SPACE HAUC in its stowed state.

~ This meets requirement 4.6—1. For the complete list of CubeSat orbital lifetimes reference
  Table 4: CubeSat Orbital Lifetime & Collision Probability.

  Assessment results show compliance.


                                                                                            33


Section 7: Assessment of Spacecraft Reentry Hazards

A detailed assessment of the components to be flown on ELaNa—21 was performed. (Data
provided for TechEdSat—8 in their submitted ODAR report was reviewed as well). The
assessment used DAS 2.1.1, 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.

An assessment of the components flown on TechEdSat—8 is contained in Reference J.

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 possess the same negligible risk as stainless
                 steel components.

                        *Requirement 4.7—1 Probability of Human Casualty > 1:10,000


If a component survives to the ground but has less than 15 Joules of kinetic energy, it is
not included in the Debris Casualty Area that inputs into the Probability of Human
Casualty calculation. This is why all of the ELaNa—21 CubeSats have a 1:0 probability as
none of their components have more than 15J of energy.

All CubeSats launching under the ELaNa—21 mission are shown to be in compliance with
Requirement 4.7—1 of NASA—STD—8719.14A.




                                                                                         36


Section 8: Assessment for Tether Missions

ELaNa—21 CubeSats will not be deploying any tethers.

ELaNa—21 CubeSats satisfy Section 8‘s requirement 4.8—1.




                                                           37

Earth Orbit (LEO): demonstration of the Exo—Brake and demonstration ofthe viability of the
Iridium 9602 communication module.
The satellite will be inserted into orbit at an apogee of approximately 500 km, perigee of 500 km,
with an inclination of 90 degrees. Transmission of data will begin 1 minute after deployment
from the launch vehicle. The Exo—Brake will deorbit the satellite approximately 26 weeks after
deployment concluding the mission.
TechEdSat—7 will fly on the Virgin Orbit CRS—13 mission, and will utilize the Xtenti FANTM
RAiL separation system. There are no propellants.
Launch vehicle and launch site: Virgin Orbit LauncherOne, Mojave Air & Space Port (MHV)
with air launch over the Pacific Ocean
Proposed launch date: April, 2018

Mission duration: 26 weeks

Launch and deployment profile, including all parking, transfer, and operational orbits
with apogee, perigee, and inclination:
TechEdSat—7 will be launched on a Virgin Orbit LauncherOne launch vehicle using the Xtenti
FANTM RAiL separation system.

The TechEdSat—7 orbit is defined as follows:
       Apogee: 500 km
       Perigee: 500 km
       Inclination: 90 degrees.

TechEdSat—7 has no propulsion and therefore does not actively change orbits. TechEdSat—7 will
deploy the Exo—Brake, slow down, lose altitude, and then disintegrate upon atmospheric re—entry
approximately 26 weeks after deployment. If the Exo—Brake fails to deploy the satellite will re—
enter in 256 weeks.


Interaction or potential physical interference with other operational Spacecraft:
The main risks of this satellite are the Canon BP—930 battery used by the spacecraft (flown in and
certified by the ISS program) and the possibility of the TechEdSat—7 impacting another
deployment. Since the TechEdSat—7 is a 3.5U CubeSat being launched from the system, and
NanoRacks has shown that the likelihood of any CubeSat impacting the ISS is very minimal
(validated by the ISS Program Office).

ODAR Section 4: Assessment of Spacecraft Intentional Breakups                            an
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 nine (9) independent, mutually exclusive failure modes that could lead to a
battery explosion.                                                   '
Detailed plan for any designed spacecraft breakup, including explosions and intentional
collisions:
There are no planned breakups other than during atmospheric entry for disposal.

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:
TechEdSat—7 will be in orbit for 26 weeks with successful deployment of the Exo—Brake based
on the DAS analysis shown in this report. Ifthe Exo—Brake fails to deploy, TechEdSat—7 will be
in orbit for 256 weeks based on the DAS analysis shown in this.report. Therefore, no post—
mission passivation will be performed, as the satellite will burn up on re—entry at the end of the
mission.

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, or Mars, or in
the vicinity of Sun—Earth or Earth—Moon Lagrange Points:

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 does not exceed 0.001 (excluding small particle impacts) (Requirement 56449).°

Compliance statement:


Required Probability: 0.001.
Expected Probability: 0.000.

Supporting Rationale and FMEA details:
Payload Pressure Vessel Failure:
TechEdSat—7 is vented per ISS safety standards. It is not a sealed container.

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. Note also that this same
battery combination has been tested extensively, and now flown several times with no noted
anomaly.
Probability: Very 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}.

Failure mode 1: Battery Internal short circuit.
Mitigation 1: Complete proto—qualification and environmental acceptance tests of the Canon
BP—930 battery by JSC ISS program. The acceptance tests are 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.
Combinedfaults requiredfor realizedfailure: 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: Each cell includes a positive temperature coefficient (PTC) variable resistance
device that ensures high rate discharge is limited to acceptable levels if thermal rise occurs in
the battery.
Combinedfaults requiredfor realizedfailure: The PTC must fail AND spacecraft thermal
design must be incorrect AND external over current detection and protection must fail for
this failure mode to occur.

Failure Mode 3: Overcharging and excessive charge rate.

Mitigation 3: The satellite bus battery charging circuit design eliminates the possibility of the
batteries being overcharged if circuits function nominally. This circuit has been proto—
qualification tested for survival in shock, vibration, and thermal—vacuum environments. The
charge circuit disconnects the incoming current when battery voltage indicates normal full
charge at 8.4 V. If this circuit fails to operate, continuing charge can cause gas generation.
The batteries include overpressure release vents that allow gas to escape, virtually
eliminating any explosion hazard.
Combinedfaults requiredfor realizedfailure:
  1) For overcharging: The charge control circuit must fail to function AND the PTC
     device must fail (or temperatures generated must be insufficient to cause the PTC
     device to modulate) AND the overpressure relief device must be inadequate to vent
     generated gasses at acceptable rates to avoid explosion.              ~
  2) For excessive charge rate: The maximum charging rate from a single solar panel
     when in AM 1.5 G conditions (on Earth, perpendicular to the sun) is 200 mA. The
      maximum charge rate our battery can accept is 3 A. The battery is a proto—qualified
      Canon BP—930 from the JSC ISS program, and has four US18650S cells. The battery
      itself has two parallel strings of 2 cells connected in series, and thus having 4 cells.
      Due to solar panel current limits and their direction—facing arrangement on the satellite,
      there is no physical means of exceeding charging rate limits, even if only a single
      string from the battery was accepting charge. For this failure mode to become active
      one string must fail to accept a charge AND the charge control circuit on the remaining
      string fails. The overpressure relief vent keeps the battery cells from rupturing, and is
      thus limited to worst—case effects of overcharging.

Failure Mode 4: 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) proto—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).
Combinedfaults requiredfor realizedfailure: The PTC must fail AND an external load must
fail/short—circuit AND external over—current detection and disconnect function must fail to
enable this failure mode.

Failure Mode 5: Inoperable vents.
Mitigation 5: Battery vents are not inhibited by the battery holder design or the spacecraft.
Combined effects requiredfor realizedfailure: The manufacturer fails to install proper
venting and ISS environmental stress screening fails to detect failed vents.

Failure Mode 6: Crushing.
Mitigation 6: This mode is negated by spacecraft design. There are no moving parts in the
proximity of the batteries.
Combinedfaults requiredfor realizedfailure: 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 7: 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.
Combinedfaults requiredfor realizedfailure: 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 8: 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.
Combinedfaults requiredfor realizedfailure: Thermal analysis AND thermal design AND
mission simulations in thermal—vacuum chamber testing AND the PTC device must fail AND
over—current monitoring and control must all fail for this failure mode to occur.

Failure Mode 9: Polarity reversal due to over—discharge caused by continuous load during
periods of negative power generation vs. consumption.
Mitigation 9: In nominal operations, the spacecraft EPS design negates this mode because
the processor will stop when voltage drops too low, below 7 V. This disables ALL connected
loads, creating a guaranteed power—positive charging scenario. The spacecraft will not restart
or connect any loads until battery voltage is above the acceptable threshold. At this point,
only the safe mode processor is enabled and charging the battery commences. Once the
battery reaches 90% of the peak voltage (around 7.5 V), it will switch to nominal mode and
will be able to receive ground commands for continuing mission functions.
Combinedfaults requiredfor realizedfailure: The microcontroller must stop executing code
AND significant loads must be commanded/stuck "on" AND power margin analysis must be
wrong AND the charge control circuit must fail for this failure mode to occur.

Failure Mode 10: Excess battery temperatures due to post mission orbital environment and
constant solar panel overcharge while satellite is powered off.

Mitigation 10: Selection of the ISS—approved Canon BP—930 battery packs (GSE
from the NASA/Johnson Space Center). These battery packs have battery
protection circuits, which prevent over—charge and over—heating. They are
lot—tested and supplied as GSE (Government Furnished Equipment) from the
NASA/Johnson Space Center. In terms of the orbit environment, the
previous TechEdSat—1, TechEdSat—3, and TechEdSat—4, TechEdSat—5 (using the same
packaging and battery
pack) showed no signs of overeating from environmental heating.

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 post mission disposal or control to a level
which cannot cause an explosion or deflagration large enough to release orbital debris or
break up the spacecraft. The design of depletion burns and ventings should minimize the
probability of accidental collision with tracked objects in space (Requirement 56450).

Compliance statement:
TechEdSat—7 will be in orbit for 24 weeks with successful deployment of the Exo—Brake. If
the Exo—Brake fails to deploy, TechEdSat—7 will be in orbit for approximately 253 weeks
based on the DAS analysis shown in this report. Therefore, no post—mission passivation will
be performed, as the satellite will burn up on re—entry at the ‘end ofthe mission. Therefore,
the TechEdSat—7 battery will meet the above requirement.

Requirement 4.4—3. Limiting the long—term risk to other space systems from planned
breakups for Earth, lunar, Mars, Sun—Earth Lagrange Point, and Earth—Moon Lagrange Point
missions:
Planned explosions or intentional collisions shall:

a. For LEO—crossing missions, be conducted at an altitude such that for orbital debris
   fragments larger than 10 cm the object—time product does not exceed 100 object—years.
   For example, if the debris fragments greater than 10cm decay in the maximum allowed 1
   year, a maximum of 100 such fragments can be generated by the breakup.
b. Not generate debris larger than 1 mm that remains in Earth, lunar, or Mars orbits or in the
   vicinity of Sun—Earth or Earth—Moon Lagrange points longer than one year

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 for Earth, lunar, Mars, Sun—Earth Lagrange Point, and Earth—Moon Lagrange Point
    missions:

    Immediately before a planned explosion or intentional collision, the probability of debris,
    orbital or ballistic, larger than 1 mm colliding with any operating spacecraft within 24 hours
    of the breakup shall be verified to not exceed 10—6.

   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 v2.1, 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
   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 probabilityof accidental collision with space objects larger
   than 10 cm in diameter does not exceed—0.001. For spacecraft and orbital stages near GEO,
   the time—integrated probability —when they are in the GEO protection zone —of accidental
   collision with space objects larger than 10 cm in diameter shall not exceed 0.001
   (Requirement 56506).

   Large Object Impact and Debris Generation Probability: 0.000000; COMPLIANT.
   Requirement 4.5—2. Limiting debris generated by collisions with small objects when
   operating in Earth: 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 does not exceed 0.01 (Requirement 56507).

   Small Object Impact and Debris Generation Probability: 0.000000; COMPLIANT


ODAR Section 6: Assessment of Spacecraft Postmission Disposal Plans
and Procedures
6.1 Description of spacecraft disposal option selected: Two cases will be considered for this
    section. The first case is called "Nominal Deployment" in which the Exo—Brake successfully

   deploys and de—orbits the satellite. The second case is called "No Deployment" in which the
   Exo—Brake fails to deploy and the satellite de—orbits naturally due to atmospheric friction.

   Case 1: Nominal Deployment The satellite will de—orbit due to the deployed Exo—Brake.
   There is no propulsion system and burn at re—entry.

    Case 2: Failed Deployment The satellite will de—orbit naturally by atmospheric re—entry.
   There is no propulsion system and burn at re—entry.

6.2 Plan for any spacecraft maneuvers required to accomplish post mission disposal: None.

6.3 Calculation of area—to—mass ratio after post mission disposal, if the controlled reentry
    option is not selected:
   Case 1: Nominal Deployment
   Spacecraft Mass: 2.5 kg
   Cross—sectional Area: 1.25 m~2
   Area to mass ratio: 1.25/2.5 = 0.5 m~2/kg

   Case 2: Failed Deployment
   Spacecraft Mass: 2.5 kg
   Cross—sectional Area: 0.0217 m*~2
   Area to mass ratio: 0.0217/2.5 = 0.00868 m*A2/kg

6.4 Assessment of spacecraft compliance with Requirements 4.6—1 through 4.6—4 (per DAS v
   2.1 and NASA—STD—8719.14 section):
   Requirement 4.6—1. Disposalfor 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 reentry option:
           e Leave the space structure in an orbit in which natural forces will lead to
               atmospheric reentry within 25 yearsafter the completion of mission but no more
              than 35 years after launch; or
          e   Maneuver the space structure into a controlled de—orbit trajectory as soon as
              practical after completion ofmission.             8
      b. Storage orbit option: Maneuver the space structure into an orbit with perigee altitude
         greater than 2000 km and ensure its apogee will be bellow GEO altitude — 200 km for
         100 years.
      c. Direct retrieval: Retrieve the space structure and remove it from orbit within 10 years
         after completion of mission.                                                            '

 Requirement 4.6—2. Disposalfor space structures near GEO.A spacecraft or orbital stage in
 an orbit near GEO shall be maneuvered at EOM to a disposal orbit above GEO with a
 predicted minimum perigee of GEO +200 km (35,986 km) or below GEO with a predicted
 maximum apogee of GEO —200 km (35,586 km) for a period of at least 100 years after
 disposal.
 Analysis: Not applicable. TechEdSat—7 orbit is in LEO.

 Requirement 4.6—3. Disposalfor space structures between LEO and GEO.
 a. A spacecraft or orbital stage shall be left in an orbit with a perigee greater than 2000 km
    above the Earth‘s surface and apogee below GEO altitude —200 km for 100 years.
 b. A spacecraft or orbital stage shall not use nearly circular disposal orbits near regions of
    high value operational space structures, such as the Global Navigation Satellite Systems
    near the semi—synchronous altitudes —

   Analysis: Not applicable. TechEdSat—7 orbit is in LEO.

   Requirement 4.6—4. Reliability ofPost mission Disposal Operations in Earth Orbit: NASA
   space programs and projects shall ensure that all post mission disposal operations to meet
   Requirements 4.6—1, 4.6—2, and/or 4.6—3 are designed for a probability of success as follows:
        a. Be no less than 0.90 at EOM.
        b. For controlled reentry, the probability of success at the time of reentry burn must be
           sufficiently high so as not to cause a violation of Requirement 4.7—1 pertaining to
           limiting the risk of human casualty.

   Analysis:
   Case 1: Nominal Deployment
   TechEdSat—7 de—orbiting relies on the Exo—Brake de—orbiting device. Release of the Exo—
   Brake will result in de—orbiting in approximately 26 weeks with no disposal or de—orbiting
   actions required.
   Case 2: Failed Deployment
   TechEdSat—7 de—orbiting does not rely on de—orbiting devices. Release with a downward,
   retrograde vector will result in de—orbiting in approximately 5 years with no disposal or de—
   orbiting actions required.



ODAR Section 7: Assessment of Spacecraft Reentry Hazards
Assessment of spacecraft compliance with Requirement 4.7—1:
   Requirement 4.7—1. Limit the risk ofhuman 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 v2.1 reports that TechEdSat—7 is compliant with the
   requirement. It predicts that no components on board has more than 15 joules of impact
   kinetic energy. The majority of TechEdSat—7 including its components and the Exo—Brake
   will burn up on re—entry. As seen in the analysis outputs below, the highest impact kinetic
   energies is 0 Joules. Also, there are no titanium components that will be used on TechEdSat—
   7.

=============== End of Requirement 4.7—1 ====s=s==ses==e====
Requirements 4.7—1b and 4.7—1¢ below are non—applicable requirements because TechEdSat—
7 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).



                                                                                                   Page 25 of 31

   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
Requirement 4.8—1. Mitigate the collision hazards ofspace tethers in protected regions of
space: Intact and remnants of severed tether systems in Earth, lunar, or Mars orbit, in the Sun—
Earth Lagrange Points, or in the Earth—Moon Lagrange Points shall limit the generation of orbital
debris from on—orbit collisions with other operational spacecraft.

Not applicable. There are no tethers in the TechEdSat—7 mission.

ODAR Sections 9—14: Launch Vehicle
Since the TechEdSat—7 launch vehicle is managed by Virgin Orbit the orbital debris assessment
for the launch vehicle will be performed by Virgin Orbit. The following note from NPR
8715.6A, Paragraph P.2.2, is applied, "Note: It is recognized that NASA has no involvement
or control in the design or operation ofFederal Aviation Administration (FAA)—licensed
launches orforeign or Department ofDefense (DoD)—furnished launch services, and,
therefore, these are not subject to the requirements in this NPRfor the launch portion."
