The second selection is the least helpful because this will likely lead to a large and massive<br />

hinge. Additionally, the required orientation of the hinge will lead to a difficult stowed<br />

configuration.<br />

The third solution will add the requirement for a deployment hinge. As an indication of size and<br />

mass, the Envisat DRS boom antenna deployment system had a mass of 28 kg for a 26 kg<br />

payload mass. An additional 10 kg is added for the restraint and release system. It should also be<br />

noted that this system was a spring-driven hinge.<br />

The presence of an additional hinge in the support structure and also the rather long boom<br />

required to support the payload will lead to a reduction in the pointing accuracy/stability of the<br />

system. Therefore, to minimise these effects and to optimise the support structure required mass,<br />

The first solution was chosen as is the preferred mounting option.<br />

Current APM systems are able to meet the pointing requirements for the laser-bench and aerostationary<br />

antenna. However, although an APM exists that can carry the Ka-band antenna mass,<br />

the pointing accuracy will require improvement.<br />

3.3.8.3.3 Vehicle connections<br />

The IDBM shall be implemented for the TV/ERC and TV/DM Interface.<br />

The IDBM has the following mechanical characteristics:<br />

• Interface loads (at the sealing interface)- acting simultaneously while docked (Flightlimit)<br />

o Axial load (1200 lbf) 5338 N<br />

o Shear load (1000 lbf) 4448 N<br />

o Bending moment (80000 in*lbf) 9039 Nm<br />

o Torsion moment (70000 in*lbf) 7909 N*m<br />

• Internal Pressure (16 psi) 110316.1 Pa<br />

• Life 15 years, Functional Life 20 Berthing/un-berthing or Docking/undocking cycles<br />

It is likely that the loading across the I/F induced by the DM and ERC will exceed the allowable<br />

loads above. Therefore, for all phases of the mission prior to I/F separation and additional a
