Operational Procedures for Powering Up, Powering Down, and Configuring the Qualification Model of the FLTSATCOM Satellite

Abstract

The engineering qualification model of the FLTSATCOM satellite was donated and is to be used for instructional laboratories and research. With the acquisition of this spacecraft, a course was established on spacecraft testing with the intent of using the qualification model as a lab device. The course requirement calls for the ability to power up, power down, and configure the satellite within a reasonable time frame. The objective of this thesis is to produce a single source implementation guide which will fully document the step- by-step procedures for powering up, powering down, and configuring the qualification model of the FLTSATCOM satellite in its current modified configuration.
