NiCd battery failure analysis

The failure of a nickel cadmium battery undergoing tests is discussed. Reasons for the complete destruction of the battery while undergoing preparation for thermal vacuum testing are given.

An analysis of digital phase-locked loops

This report focuses on second-order digital phase-locked loops (DPLLs) with uniformly sampled input, an amplitude-insenstive phase extractor and a conventional loop filter.

Thermal Design and Analysis of Green Propulsion Dual Method CubeSat

Green Propulsion Dual Method (GPDM) is a collaboration between NASA Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) and Georgia Tech to create a 6U CubeSat demonstrating the use of the green propellant Advanced Spacecraft Energetic Non-Toxic (ASCENT) in two propulsion systems: using a traditional chemical thruster and an electrospray thruster system. The driving thermal considerations includes a planned orbit always in Sun view without any time in Earth’s eclipse, and a chemical thruster reaching 1300°C during firing. Thermal design and analysis on CubeSats are not always emphasized, particularly in experimental or academic environments. This paper will describe the thermal design and analysis performed on GPDM and the mitigations implemented for this mission, which will highlight some of the thermal challenges unique to experimental small satellites.
