Micron Fast Reaction and High Temperature Operation Development.
Abstract
The objective of the program is to provide a fast reaction capability and to investigate a high temperature operation capability for the MICRON system. Changes were made to the MICRON system gyros and electronics to allow the fast reaction time needed. An ECOM motor and spin motor power supply were developed and tested. The redesigned motor achieved the goal of 80F/min rotor warm-up rate, a 9 sec spin up capability, a 20 sec polhode damping capability and a 30 sec rapid spin-down capability. In addition, rotor gap modeling was shown to be a feasible method for solving the rapid turnaround problem. The results of high temperature testing of the electronics are given and discussed.
