Abstract

In this paper, we design and fabricate a de-orbiter using drag-sail and evaluate deployment characteristics. Without employing an actuator to deploy, the de-orbiter is activated by the SMA wire based the release mechanism and driven by the restoring force of the tape-spring. For efficient storage and deployment of drag-sail, an origami method of original ISO flasher is chosen and low priced mylar film is used as the material of the drag-sail. In addition, through the fault tree analysis method which is one of the one-shot device reliability evaluation methods, we confirm the reliability of the de-orbiter(0.997572) and the Roller failure has the highest criticality. Finally, we find feasibility of the proposed de-orbiter through the deployment demonstration of drag-sail.

본 논문에서는 가항력돛을 이용한 궤도이탈 장치를 설계 및 제작하고 전개 특성을 연구하였다. 형상기억합금을 이용한 분리장치를 개발하고, 형상기억합금의 구동에 따라 테잎 스프링의 복원력을 이용해 구동되는 새로운 궤도이탈 장치를 설계하고 실험하였다. 가항력돛의 효율적인 수납 및 전개를 위해 origami flasher 방식 중 original ISO flasher 방식을 선정하였으며, 반복적인 실험을 하기 위해서 다른 재료들에 비해 저렴한 우주재료인 mylar film을 가항력돛의 재료로 사용하였다. 또한, 일회성 장치 신뢰성 평가 방법 중 하나인 FTA(fault tree analysis) 방법을 통해 장치의 신뢰도(0.997572)를 평가하고 가장 치명도가 높은 부분이 Roller failure임을 확인하였다. 최종적으로 가항력돛의 전개장치의 제작 및 실험을 통하여 향후 궤도이탈 장치의 개발 가능성을 확인하였다.
