Graphite epoxy reflector support truss for applications technology satellite /ATS/.
Abstract
The design, development, fabrication, and qualification load testing of the reflector support truss for Applications Technology Satellites F and G are described. Because the truss is stability-critical, high modulus graphite epoxy composite was used to provide a minimum weight structure. The work was performed under the sponsorship of the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center with Fairchild Industries as the prime contractor.
