T/G Layout 1

(C. Jardin) #1

Axial Thruster


Used for positioning and station acquisition maneuvers,
and maybe used for orbit control


Despun Section


Earth-oriented, helix dish antenna assemblies in section
that does not spin


Earth sensors


Used for attitude determination during the transfer orbit
and synchronous orbit, provides pitch, yaw, and roll
information to maintain Earth-pointing


EPS dome


Covers the Energetic Particle Sensor


EPS telescope


Energetic Particle Sensor, measures low and medium-charged particles


High Energy Proton and Alpha Particle Detector (HEPAD)


Monitors protons in four energy ranges above 370 MeV (rest mass in electron-volts),
and alpha particles in two energy ranges above 640 MeV/nucleon


Magnetometer


Measures the magnitude and field direction of energetic charged particles within the
Earth’s magnetosphere (within a specified range)


Radial Thrusters


Used for spin-rate control, range of 110-80 rpm


S-Band Bicone Omni Antenna


Part of telemetry and command subsystem


S-Band High Gain Antenna


Part of telemetry and command subsystem
