Flexible Rolled-Up Solar Array.
Abstract
The main activities on the Flexible Rolled-Up Solar Array (FRUSA) program during the sixth quarterly reporting period consisted of completion of the detailed drawings of all the FRUSA components. Most of the drawings have undergone stress and dimensioning checks and have been released to manufacturing for procurement or fabrication of components and parts. The supplier of the boom actuator mechanism has completed final tests of the development test unit prior to shipment of the unit. The solar cell manufacturer has fabricated the cell qualification lot; and the average power output is slightly higher than the specified value. Test and development programs on various system components including panel roll-up, cushion, panel thermal shock, and battery/charge controller have been successfully completed. Design reviews on each of the FRUSA subsystems were held prior to initiation of the qualification model drawing release phase which was initiated during this reporting period. The design of the subsystems was deemed to be satisfactory. A Preliminary Qualification Test Plan and the Quality Assurance section of Specification DS 30992-001 have been completed.
