Abstract:
A satellite system design study was performed to determine the characteristics required of a satellite to evaluate the solar flare and radiation belt hazard to near-earth manned space missions. The study uncovered possible problem areas and investigated their solution. Scientific instrument payloads were selected to measure radiation parameters of significant importance. Trade-off studies among the system parameters were performed and system designs were recommended. A preliminary design was undertaken in each satellite subsystem area two satellite designs were developed. The first was a sophisticated 450-pound satellite compatible with the Delta DSV-3B launch vehicle, and the second was a simplified 150-pound version compatible with the scout SLV-1A vehicle. In addition, breadboard design studies were undertaken on the Power Supply and Solar Flare Detection Subsystem. Author
