Objectives:
-
After completing this lesson, the student will have demonstrated several key tasks satellite housekeeping operations, including satellite power management, satellite sensor calibrations and satellite momentum management.
-
Demonstrate recognizing the power state of the satellite and reacting to situations outside of expectations
-
Demonstrate managing battery state of charge (SOC)/depth of discharge (DOD)
-
Demonstrate the use “load shedding” to provide satellite power management
-
Identify the operational impact of needing to manage battery duty cycle
-
Demonstrate the calibration of satellite sensors
-
Identify the need for and implications of momentum management as part of routine operations
-
Demonstrate the process for momentum dumping from momentum/reaction wheels (desaturation)
