The HAUSAT-2 nanosatellite which is scheduled to launch in 2008 is being developed by SSRL(Space System Research Lab.). The HAUSAT-2 STM(Structural-Thermal Model) was developed as the first system model to verify structural and thermal design margin. The qualification level vibration and thermal tests have been conducted on STM. This paper addresses the comparison of structural analysis and test results of HAUSAT-2 STM. It was shown that the natural frequency of HAUSAT-2 STM satisfies the stiffness requirements without structural damage in the random vibration test. The assembly and integration validity were also checked out through STM.

Unlike large satellites, small satellites, such as nanosatellite and microsatellite, provide a limited interior space for components mounting. In order to mitigate this issue, the compact Bus Electronic Unit (BEU) that integrates satellite electronic modules, combining most of bus subsystems and payloads electronic modules into one unit, has been developed for HAUSAT-2 nanosatellite. This paper addresses the design and environmental test result analyses of BEU.

This study addresses space simulation test results and thermal modelling verification of HAUSAT-2 nanosatellite STM (Structural-Thermal Model). The thermal modelling of the HAUSAT-2 has been modified in accordance with test results. Thermal analysis results were repeatedly compared with test results for modified thermal modelling. It is verified that the analysis results for modified thermal modelling agree well with test results. Some surface heaters were implemented to simulate solar illumination for HAUSAT-2 Thermal Vacuum/Balance Test. A low-cost and effective thermal test methodology, which is applicable to ultra-small satellite system, was proposed and verified by test results in this study.

This paper describes the analysis of radiation environment and effects. TID(Total ionizing Dose) and SEE(Single Event Effects) analysis are implemented. The HAUSAT-2 is a 25kg class nanosatellite which is operated at sun-synchronous orbit at an altitude 650km. Trapped proton and Electron, Solar Proton, Galactic Cosmic Ray models are considered to HAUSAT-2 radiation environment model. Total Dose-depth curve provides TID degree and components are verified by DMBP method and Sectoring analysis. SEE are analysed with Radiation Test Report. Existing Radiation Test Reports are use to SEE analysis of HAUSAT-2.

HAUSAT-2 is nano satellite with 25kg mass being developed by Space System Research Lab. in Hnakuk Aviation University. This paper addresses HAUSAT-2 small satellite thermal analyses and its verification at satellite system, electronic box, and PCB levels. Thermal model which is used for system-level and box-level thermal analyses was verified and corrected through thermal vacuum/balance test. The new board-level thermal analysis methodology, modelling high-power dissipating EEE parts directly, was proposed. The proposed methodology has been verified with test results.

Unlike large satellites, small satellites, such as nanosatellite and microsatellite, can provide a limited interior space for components mounting. In order to mitigate this issue, the compact Bus Electronic Unit(BEU) that integrates satellite electronic modules, combining most of bus subsystems and payload electronic modules into one unit, has been developed for HAUSAT-2 nanosatellite. This paper addresses the design and environmental test result analyses of BEU. The vibration and thermal vacuum tests were conducted at qualification level for the verification of design margin of newly developed BEU. The performance of individual electronic subsystem modules has been verified through performance tests before and after the qualification tests. It was confirmed that the natural frequency of BEU satisfies the design stiffness requirement without structural damage in the vibration test. Thermal analysis results were also almost consistent with test results through modified thermal analysis modeling.

This paper addresses Electrical Power Subsystem(EPS) design and verification of HAUSAT-2 small satellite through energy balance analysis(EBA) depending on individual operation modes. GaAs solar cells are used for satellite power generation and digital peak power tracking is implemented for EPS architecture. One battery pack is consisted of 4 Li-Ion cells. Battery charge is accomplished by peak power tracker and battery charge regulator. Power conditioning assembly uses three DC-DC converters, and power distribution assembly which consists of commercial IC and MOSFET switch distributes power to subsystems and payloads. The altitude of 650km and sun-synchronous LEO with various local time ascending node(LTAN) are considered in EBA.

This paper addresses a newly proposed start-up method of the HAUSAT-2 momentum wheel. The HAUSAT-2 is a 25kg class nanosatellite which is stabilized to earth pointing by 3-axis active control method. A momentum wheel performs two functions. It provides a pitch-axis momentum bias while measuring satellite pitch and roll attitude. Pitch control is accomplished in the conventional way by driving a momentum wheel in response to pitch attitude errors. Precession control and nutation damping are provided by driving the pitch axis magnetic torquer. A momentum wheel is nominally spinning at a particular rate and changes speed. This simulation study investigates the feasibility and performance of a proposed strategy for starting-up the wheel. A proposed strategy to start-up the wheel shows that a pitch momentum wheel can be successfully started-up to its nominal speed from rest and be stabilized to nadir pointing.

SEDT(System Engineering Design Tool) has been developed for small satellite conceptual design with an aim to verifying the nanosatellite HAUSAT-2 design. The program can calculate the mass and power of whole satellite system having specific mission and estimate the system cost based on mission and user requirements. It is containing various analysis data of more than 200 small satellites. The database will provide the trend analysis results of the small satellites which will become important design factors. This tool has also been verified by applying more than 10 small satellite data through case studies.
