    The Messenger Spacecraft Power System Design and Early Mission Performance

    THE MESSENGER SPACECRAFT POWER SYSTEM DESIGN AND EARLY MISSION PERFORMANCE G. Dakermanji, C. Person, J. Jenkins, L. Kennedy, D. Temkin Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, 11100 Johns Hopkins Rd., Laurel, Maryland, 20723-6099, USA Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT The MESSENGER (MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry, and Ranging) spacecraft was launched on August 3, 2004. The spacecraft will be inserted into Mercury orbit in March 2011 for one year of orbital operation. During the mission, the spacecraft distance to the Sun will vary between approximately 1 and 0.3 Astronomical Units (AU), imposing severe requirements on the spacecraft thermal and power systems design. The spacecraft is maintained behind a sunshade. The two single-axis, gimbaled solar array panels are designed to withstand the expected high temperatures. A peak power tracking system has been selected to allow operation over the widely varying solar array I-V curves. In order to reduce cost and risk while increasing the likelihood of mission success, the approach taken in the power system design, including the solar arrays, was to use conventional design, materials, and fabrication techniques. 1. MISSION DESCRIPTION a. Launch Configuration Sunshade MESSENGER (MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry, and Ranging), shown in Fig. 1, is a Battery NASA Discovery Program spacecraft designed and built by the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL). It will orbit the planet Mercury for one Earth year of orbital operation. Most of what is known about Mercury comes from the Mariner 10 spacecraft. Using three flybys, Mariner 10 was able to map about 45% of the planet surface during a one-year period between 1974 and 1975.

Positioned in the vicinity of the Moon, the Gateway allows astronauts to demonstrate operations beyond Low Earth Orbit for months at a time. The Gateway is evolvable, flexible, modular, and is a precursor and mission demonstrator directly on the path to Mars. Mars Base Camp is Lockheed Martin's vision for sending humans to Mars. Operations from an orbital base camp will build on a strong foundation of today's technologies and emphasize scientific exploration as mission cornerstones. Key aspects of Mars Base Camp include utilizing liquid oxygen and hydrogen as the basis for a nascent water-based economy and the development of a reusable lander/ascent vehicle.
  • 10 Things to Know About NASA's Glenn Research Center

    10 Things to Know About NASA's Glenn Research Center

    National Aeronautics and Space Administration 10 Things to Know About NASA’s Glenn Research Center 1. NASA Glenn’s economic impact in Ohio exceeds $1.4 billion per year. According to an economic impact study by Cleveland State University’s Center for Economic Development, Glenn generates over $700 million annually in economic activity and creates over 7,000 jobs. NASA Glenn also generates nearly $500 million in labor income and approximately $120 million in tax revenue per year. 2. Glenn scientists and engineers are prolific inventors. The research center holds more than 725 patents and has won over 120 R&D 100 Awards, also known as the Oscars of innovation. That’s more than any other NASA center. Glenn strives to increase private sector revenue and contribute to private sector job growth by licensing its inventions. 3. Every U.S. aircraft has NASA Glenn technology on board. NASA is with you when you fly. Today’s commercial airliners are safer, quieter and more fuel efficient because of NASA Glenn technology. Glenn advancements such as ice detection and air traffic control systems have made flying safer. Glenn jet engine combustors have resulted in more efficient aircraft engines, and Glenn developed nozzle chevrons are used to make the Boeing 787 Dreamliner and new 737 MAX quieter. 4. Glenn is transforming aviation by developing revolutionary technologies for aircraft and the national airspace system. Glenn is working to dramatically improve efficiency, reduce costs and noise, and maintain safety in crowded skies. The center leads the agency’s effort to develop hybrid electric propulsion systems for commercial passenger aircraft.
