Israeli Universal Spacecraft Bus Characteristics and Design Trade-Offs
June 2010
2
The IMPS* Bus Used by TECSAR & Venμs satellites. Onboard processor: Intel 486 / LEON-3 Power Supply: 800W Bus Power Consumption: 250W Battery Capacity: 30/45 Ah Bus Dry Mass: 190 Kg Payload Mass: ≤150 Kg
*IMPS = IAI Multi Purpose Satellite

IMPS AOCS* system Sensors:
2 sun-sensors. 2 magneto-meters. MEMS coarse rate gyro. GPS Receiver. 2 Star Trackers.
Actuators: 4 reaction wheels (1 spare). 2 X 3-axis magento-torquers 2 X 4 X 5N Hydrazine Thrusters
Propulsion System for orbit control (Four Alternatives): 2 Hydrazine Thrusters (25N) Hall Effect Thruster (0.1N) Both None
*AOCS = Attitude & Orbit Control System
4
Design Trade Offs AOCS system – Accuracy Propulsion system – Orbit Accuracy Data Storage – Volume Communication – Bandwidth Power System – Mission Requirements
5
Attitude Determination Star Tracker
Accuracy: 10-3 degUnit Price: 0.5M$One is required, two for redundancyEngineering – Heritage from many missions
Earth Horizon Sensor (2 axis only)Accuracy: 5x10-2 degUnit Price: 300K$Engineering – Significant Effort
7
Attitude Determination (cont.) Sun Sensors & Magnetometers
Accuracy: 3x10-1 degUnit Price: negligibleEngineering – Minor Adaptations in Control
Law MEMS Rate Gyro
Accuracy: 1 deg/secUnit Price: negligibleEngineering – Heritage from other missions
8
Attitude Actuators Reaction Wheels
Maximum Torque: 4 NmUnit Price: 300K$Engineering – Heritage from many missions
Hydrazine ThrustersMaximum Torque: ~5 NmUnit Price: Combined with Propulsion systemEngineering – Heritage from other missions
9
Attitude Actuators (cont.) Magneto-torquers
Maximum torque: 0.4 mNmUnit Price: NegligibleEngineering – Heritage from other missions
10
Propulsion System Hydrazine Thrusters
Thrust: 1N/5N/25N 7 or 30 kg hydrazine tank Unit Price: 1.6M$ Engineering: Heritage from previous missions
Hall Effect Thruster Thrust: 0.1 N 5 kg Xe tank (equivalent to 30 kg hydrazine) Unit Price: 5M$ Engineering: In development for other mission
Both/None
11
Orbit Determination GPS receiver
Accuracy: better than 15mUnit Cost: 500K$ (fully redundant)Engineering: Heritage from previous missions
12
Communication System Hi-Speed X-band downlink
Bandwidth: up to 750 Mbps Unit Price: 300K$ per 150 Mbps unit Engineering – Heritage from other missions
Low Speed S-band transceiver Bandwidth: up 2.5Kbps, down 12.5 Kbps Unit Price: 400K$ Engineering – Heritage from other missions
Both solution require a ground station Communication only during a pass
13
Communication System (cont.) Satellite Phone
