A-B-Cs of sun-synchronous orbit mission design

The paper will develop the background and information necessary to explain what a sun-synchronous orbit is how it works. Handy back of the envelope equations will be provided to enable the mission analyst and system engineer to do quick and simple calculations for the orbit parameters selection and to compute mission parameters important to satellite design without having to resort to sophisticated computer programs.

Evaluation of CS-type Metallized Polymer Film Capacitors

In 2023 Quantic Paktron announced production of Capstick high reliability multilayer metallized polymer film capacitors based on a new type of dielectric films and proprietary technology of manufacturing. These parts might be used in power conversion systems, snubbing, and high-frequency applications effectively replacing currently used hermetic polymer capacitors manufactured per MIL-PRF-83421. The purpose of this work is to evaluate design and performance of the parts, address potential reliability issues and get preliminary assessments of reliability and the possibility of use in space projects.

MC21/CTF and VERA-CS Mutiphysics Solutions to VERA Core Physics Benchmark Problems 6 and 7

The continuous energy Monte Carlo neutron transport code, MC21, was coupled to the CTF subchannel thermal-hydraulics code using a combination of CASL tools and in-house Python scripts. An MC21/CTF solution for VERA Core Physics Benchmark Progression Problem 6 demonstrated excellent agreement with MC21/COBRA-IE and VERA solutions. The MC21/CTF solution for VERA Core Physics Benchmark Progression Problem 7, Watts Bar Unit 1 at beginning of cycle (BOC) hot full power (HFP) equilibrium xenon conditions, is the first published coupled Monte Carlo neutronics / subchannel T-H solution for this problem. MC21/CTF predicted a critical boron concentration of 854.5 ppm, yielding a critical eigenvalue of 0.99994 ± 6.8E-6 (95% CI). Excellent agreement with a VERA solution of Problem 7 was also demonstrated for integral and local power and temperature parameters.
