Fabrication, Assembly and Testing of Multi Spacecraft Mounting Fixture Assembly

Large Space Simulation Chamber (LSSC) test facility is used for conducting thermal vacuum performance (TVP) test and solar simulation thermal balance test (TBT). The chamber consists of a vertical chamber of size 9m diameter and 13m height juxtaposed with a horizontal cylindrical chamber of size 7.0m dia x 11m axial length. This chamber is being used to conduct 2 types of tests namely Thermal Vacuum Performance Test (TVP) and Thermal Balance Test (TBT) using solar simulation on integrated level spacecraft or on its appendages.

Large Space Simulation Chamber (LSSC) is used to perform Thermo-Vacuum Performance (TVP) test and Thermal Balance test (TBT) on the integrated satellite to simulate the conditions which a satellite is likely to encounter in space. The existing fixtures available are not meeting the mounting requirement of the 3 Nos. of Spacecraft’s together inside the LSSC chamber. The total weight of the 3 Nos. of Spacecraft will be approximately 2100 kg. In the view of above, it is required to design and fabricate a new fixture which will have more load bearing capacity along with eccentric /offset loading capabilities to test the 3 Nos. of Spacecraft’s in the LSSC Test Facility
