초록

The aim of the test is to provide an experimental basis to validate the prediction of the FEM for high frequency jitter analysis due to reaction wheel. The principle is to measure structural transfer functions between the input disturbances at RWA base plate and the accelerations near the end tips of payload, in a configuration close to the operational model. The spacecraft shall have to be suspended, in order to be representative of on-orbit boundary conditions. The results of the test shall be compared to the output of the FEM analysis, and if needed, local upgrades of the FEM and/or margin policy shall be defined in order to guarantee a good test/FEM consistency. Test results were compared with the transfer functions of the FEM, which is globally tuned based on the results of vibration test and consequently have lower damping coefficients values than 1% in the frequency range of 60~200Hz. The damping coefficients estimated from the figures of FRF test results are different from the theoretical FEM, but the magnitude trend of FRF of the test results is somewhat similar with the analytical, it is expected that the overall jitter effect of final estimation is nearly same with the preliminary analysis result in which the damping coefficients were assumed to be 1% for all modes in FEM.
