Table 3-35: TEI and MOI dimensions<br />

The ACS functions shall be:<br />

• Attitude control while orbiting Mars<br />

• Manoeuvres<br />

• Rate dumping after MOI motor separation: 0.5 degrees/s dumped in 30 seconds<br />

(maximum attitude error 15 degrees)<br />

Again, the last one is the most demanding<br />

The maximum torque needed in this case is: 25 000 Nm<br />

If ACS is dislocated in the three points, the torque arms shall be:<br />

b1 = 21.5 m<br />

b2 = 2.5 m<br />

b3 = 12.5 m<br />

Considering 440N thrust at b1 and b2, a torque contribution of 440*(21.5+2.5) = 10500 Nm is<br />

given by the ACS of the habitation module.<br />

The additional thrusters to be located in b3 are:<br />

Thrust needed = 25000-10500/12.5 = 1160 N<br />

So a cluster of 2 Ariane-5 SCA thrusters (2x550=1100N) might be used here.<br />

3.3.5.3 ACS for TMI 3 rd<br />

In this configuration four control points shall be actives: P1, P2, P3 and P4, as shown in Figure<br />
