4 Final 3000 platform. Report The overall S/C structure has a classical "box" shape with a central cylinder (800 mm) as the main structural load path to the launcher. The design will fulfil the satellite strength and stiffness requirements. The instrument is mounted at the top of the platform. Currently, the instrument is connected to the platform by means of three isostatic mounts. It is recommended for future work to revisit the instrument mechanical configuration so that it is supported by four sets of isostatic mounts, turned upside down. This would allow the “head” of an isostatic mount to be fixed to the top of the shear walls, and thus provide a better load path than what is currently depicted. Clearly, this topic has to be iterated with the mechanical design of the payload considering the mechanical load path and thermo-elastic distortions. It should also be noted that due to the width of the instrument being much larger than the central cylinder, it is not possible to fix the isostatic mounts in the current configuration directly to the central cylinder.

4.5.7.3 Propulsion System Summary<br />

The mass of the propulsion system for the three options is summarised in Table 4.5-19.<br />

Option 3 is not practical since too massive, complex and expensive. Option 1 is the traditional<br />

configuration and is feasible. Option 2 allows to save between 250 and 340 kg (depending on the<br />

selected technology) on Option 1 by using EP for station-keeping. However, this mass reduction<br />

should be somewhat reduced as it does not take into consideration the additional mass due to an<br />

increase in solar array as well as batteries, and potentially PCDU too. An in-depth analysis would be<br />

required at a later stage to determine the better of Options 1 and 2.<br />
