  • Electric Propulsion for Station Keeping and Electric Orbit Raising on Eutelsat Platforms
    Electric Propulsion for Station Keeping and Electric Orbit Raising on Eutelsat Platforms 2015-b/IEPC-97 Presented at Joint Conference of 30th International Symposium on Space Technology and Science 34th International Electric Propulsion Conference and 6th Nano-satellite Symposium, Hyogo-Kobe, Japan July 4 – 10, 2015 C. Casaregola1 Eutelsat, Paris, 75015, France Abstract: With a fleet of 34 geostationary satellites and more than 30 years of service from space, Eutelsat is today Europe’s most long-standing satellite operator and one of the world’s leading satellite operators. The first two platforms using Electric Propulsion procured are SESAT-1 (EUTELSAT 16C) and KA-SAT, for which Electric Propulsion is limited to on-station operations. The successful demonstration of sustained capability of Electric Propulsion for these two platforms in addition to the extensive flight heritage with no significant anomalies demonstrated in the last decades on both commercial and scientific platforms, prove the high level of maturity reached by Electric Propulsion systems. Based on that and due to new attractive launch options, one full-electric platform - EUTELSAT 115 West B – has been procured and launched in March 2015. The launch of EUTELSAT 115 West B is a key milestone for telecom platforms as it makes Eutelsat the first Operator to use Electric Propulsion for a complete electric orbit raising. Two additional platforms – EUTELSAT 117 West B and EUTELSAT 172 B - are under procurement and will perform complete electric orbit raising as well. An overview of Eutelsat platforms using Electric Propulsion for station keeping and electric orbit raising is given in the paper.

  • Numerical Investigation of a 7-Element GOX/GCH4 Subscale Combustion Chamber
    DOI: 10.13009/EUCASS2017-173 7TH EUROPEAN CONFERENCE FOR AERONAUTICS AND AEROSPACE SCIENCES (EUCASS) Numerical Investigation of a 7-Element GOX/GCH4 Subscale Combustion Chamber ? ? ? Daniel Eiringhaus †, Daniel Rahn‡, Hendrik Riedmann , Oliver Knab and Oskar Haidn‡ ?ArianeGroup Robert-Koch-Straße 1, 82024 Taufkirchen, Germany ‡Institute of Turbomachinery and Flight Propulsion (LTF), Technische Universität München (TUM) Boltzmannstr. 15, 85748 Garching, Germany [email protected] †Corresponding author Abstract For future liquid rocket engines methane has become the focus of several studies on alternative fuels in the western hemisphere. At ArianeGroup numerical simulation tools have been established as a powerful instrument in the design process. In order to achieve the same confidence level for CH4/O2 as for H2/O2 combustion, the applied numerical models have to be adapted and validated against sufficient test data. At the Chair of Space Propulsion at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) several combustion cham- bers have been designed and tests at different operating points have been conducted. In this paper one of these subscale combustion chambers with calorimetric cooling and seven shear coaxial injection elements running on gaseous methane and oxygen is used to examine ArianeGroup’s in-house tools for combustion chamber performance analysis. 1. Introduction Current development programs in many space-faring nations focus on launchers utilizing a propellant combination of liquid oxygen (LOX) and liquid methane (CH4). In Europe, hydrocarbons have been identified as an alternative fuel in the frame of the Future Launcher Preparatory Programme (FLPP).14, 23 Major industrial development of methane / oxy- gen rocket engines is ongoing in the United States at SpaceX with the Raptor engine (staged combustion), at Blue Origin with the BE-4 engine (staged combustion) and in Europe at ArianeGroup with the Prometheus engine (gas gen- erator).

    February 5, 2018 Industry Brief Chris Quilty [email protected] January 2018 +1 (727)-828-7085 Austin Moeller Satellite & Space Monthly Review [email protected] +1 (727)-828-7601 January 11, 2018: Air force to utilize more smallsats for weather DMSP F19 Readying for Launch observation. Citing growing budget constraints, the US Air Force announced that is considering using small satellites in combination with next-gen software rather than procuring traditional multibillion-dollar, cost-plus spacecraft to replace/replenish its Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP). Despite awarding a $94 million contract to Ball Aerospace in November to design the Weather System Follow-on Microwave (WSF-M) satellite, the Air Force plans to begin launching small satellites equipped with infrared imaging and electro-optical instruments to monitor battlefield weather starting in 2021-2022. The Air Force is also considering augmenting their current capabilities with inactive NOAA GOES satellites in the near-term. These considerations parallel recent comments by USSTRATCOM commander Gen. John Hyten, who has repeatedly stated that the Air Force currently spends too much time and money developing large, high- cost satellites, and needs to invest in more small satellites for strategic Source: Lockheed Martin and budgetary reasons. Conclusion: Smallsats ready for a DoD growth spurt? With growing evidence of Russian/Chinese anti- satellite technology demonstrations, the Pentagon is becoming increasingly reluctant to spend billions of dollars on monolithic “Battlestar Galactica” satellite systems that place too many eggs in one basket. While not as robust or technologically-capable as high-end spacecraft built by traditional contractor, such as Lockheed Martin, small satellites are orders-of-magnitude less expensive to build, launch, and maintain.
