Goals

  • Clarify some issues
  • Firm plans for two mission
    • HSI mission
      • The imager is quite large now, and we're looking at a 6U platform
      • Although we haven't ruled out the 3U
    • SDR mission
    • One satellite may carry more than one payload
  • Power budget
    • 6U provides a lot of benefits when it comes to power budgeting
  • Robert - also systems engineering
  • First launch in Q1 2020, second launch in later 2020
    • Difficult to learn anything between the two launches
  • The price list is ok - but we need to know more about the things surrounding it
  • We want to perform the system integration ourselves, but maybe not on our premises. We also want to do the operations ourselves
    • Training for this + workshops available
    • Support during integration - package for hours or paid-by-the-hour?
    • If we want to do the integration ourselves, we need some training and then we can carry out the integration ourselves
      • A complete EM of the satellite + testbed should be sufficient to learn the integration process
      • The testbed supports hardware-in-the-loop testing.
    • Workshop-based exercise. Can also be a series of workshops
    • Can also deliver an integrated standard satellite
      • Morten will provide a ballpark figure for this
      • Recommended for the time perspective
    • In their work with a university they had a program of workshops at the university where the students where guided through integration (1U satellite ended up with 5 workshops. From 1 day to 1 week duration)
  • About 15 weeks delivery time for the products
    • Plus some time for integration
  • Attitude control system
    • Want as accurate ACS as possible, as well as being able to do research on it
    • They have a very busy ADCS team at the moment, and cannot at present allocate people to have dedicated support for this task
    • Will help us update the algorithms and such, but not support the development of the algorithms
  • No difference between the license models except for the price. Multi-user license, only tied to mission
  • Operation - they usually support the commissioning phase (from 2-4 weeks)
    • Will also have training sessions for the operations of the satellite and their tools
    • We could also be a part of the commissioning phase
    • We should register the satellites ourselves
  • Launch
    • Ride-share solution (not dedicated launch) - 9 months before launch date the contract shall be in place
    • We can write specifications for the launch
    • 80-90 hours (they do the RFI/RFQ ++ business)
    • They do a trade-off analysis, and then we choose, and then they do the negotiations and contract and such
    • They can also help us arrange a launcher insurance if necessary
    • They can also run the launch part from their side - about 100 hours
    • We must ensure the qualification testing
    • Deployer EM - to do a fit-check test with the EM model that we have
    • Or they can help us with it
  • Flight model
    • Can either do it ourselves
    • Or they can do it - most convenient
    • There are some safety packages that we must comply to
  • Phases
    • Engineering model and training
    • Flight model + testing + launch
