subsystem, was validated by the EPS team. So, the mass and dimensions of the batteries are now known and a rst guess of how arrange the reinforcers can be realized. 3.6 Material selection An other important step for realizing the design of the support, is the selection of the material that will be used to manufacture it. Indeed, the thickness of the dierent parts that must prevent the batteries' bulge, was determined in relation to the properties of the selected material. 3.6.1 Denition of the requirements Firstly, the requirements imposed to the material must be dened precisely. Structural requirements The rst feature of the battery support is its structural integrity during the launch. Indeed, it will have to support the harsh vibration environment without causing damages to the other components of the satellite. So, the strength is an important property that will ensure the structural integrity of the support. The toughness is also an important property to sustain the stage ignition/separation, fairing jettisoning and POGO eects during launch. Then, the structural requirements can be expressed as: • The material shall be rigid (high Young's modulus). • The material shall have a good resistance in traction/compression. • The material shall have a toughness of at least 25 MP a m 0.5 (which is a value typically used in the space applications). Thermal requirements Firstly, the material shall resist to the operating temperature range of the batteries ([0 ◦ C − 40 ◦ C]). Then, thermal variations inside the CubeSat can disturb the batteries' performances. These variations can be limited by using a material with a high thermal inertia. In addition, the heat produced by the heaters must only serve to maintain the batteries' temperature in an acceptable range. Any waste of energy could cause important problems on the power distribution inside the satellite. So, a material with a low thermal conductivity is preferable to keep the heat inside the support. Finally, thermal cycling can also induce deformations of the support. However, in this case, the support could not play its role of preventing the batteries' bulge. This eect can be limited if the Coecient of 51
Thermal Expansion (CTE) of the material is not too high (e.g, CTE of the CSK structure is: 20 − 25 µstrain/K). Then, the thermal requirements can be expressed as: • The material shall resist to temperature range [−10 ◦ C − 50 ◦ C] (by taking a security margin of 10 ◦ C). • The material shall shield batteries against thermal variations. • The material shall have a low thermal conductivity (however, if this requirement is not respected, it is possible to use some thermal insulators between the batteries and their support). • The material shall have a low CTE. Outgassing requirements These requirements are imposed by the ESA [37]: • Total Mass Loss (TML) of the material shall be ≤ 1%. • Collected Volatile Condensable Material (CVCM) of the material shall be ≤ 0.1%. Presetting In accordance with all these requirements, four materials were selected: Al alloys, Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP), GFRP and T i alloys. All of these materials fulll all the requirements and they are all typically used in space applications. Their general properties are available in Table 3.4.
