Abstract. This paper summarizes the work at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in the development, integration and testing of the critical enabling technologies needed for the realization of agile micro-satellites (or MicroSats). Our objective is to develop autonomous, agile MicroSats weighing between 20 to 40 kilograms, with at least 300 m/s of Dv, that are capable of performing precision maneuvers in space, including satellite rendezvous, inspection, proximity operations, docking, and servicing missions. The MicroSat carries on-board a host of light-weight sensors and actuators, inertial navigation instruments, and advanced avionics. The avionics architecture is based on the CompactPCI bus and PowerPC processor family. This modular design leverages commercial-off-the-shelf technologies, allowing early integration and testing. The CompactPCI bus is a high-performance, processor independent I/O bus that minimizes the effects of future processor upgrades. PowerPCs are powerful RISC processors with significant inherent radiation tolerance. The MicroSat software development environment uses the space flight proven VxWorks, a commonly used, well tested, real-time operating system that provides a rapid development environment for integration of new software modules. The MicroSat is a 3-axis stabilized vehicle which uses cold gas N 2 for ACS and a novel pressure-fed, non-toxic, monopropellant hydrogen peroxide propulsion system for maneuvering. SSC98-V-1

ScopeThis document details steps required to assemble the Clementine Star Tracker Camera (STC). DescriptionThe STC consists of an Actel electronics PWA, a Thomson TI17883- Bfl CCD (Flight cameras only, prototype cameras will utilize a non-B/T TH7883-F02-01 unit), mechanical hardware that encases the PWA and CCD, a mini-concentric Wide Field of View (WFOV) lens, and a light baffle. The camera is used for imaging stars to determine the position of a vehicle in space.Assembly includes general mechanical assembly, testing to verify quality of optical couplant between the CCD and the lens fiber optic field flattener, measurement and possibly adjustment of the optical axis normal to the camera mounting surfaces, abbreviated electrical function testing prior to final staking, and final staking. Reference Documents and Drawings1.3.1 C1-ME-008, Clementine Sensors General Contamination Control Plan. 1.3.2 C1-SO-TESD, Clementine ESD Protection Plan. 1.3.3 Cl-S 1-TE3D7 STC Abbreviated Electronic Function Test Procedure. 1.3.4 MIL-STD-1686, Handling of ESD Sensitive Equipment. MIL-STD-1246B7 Product Cleanliness Levels and ContaminationControl Plan. 1.3.6 C1-SO-005, Adhesives, Compounds, and Optical Couplants.1.3.7 Cl-SO-TBD, Clementine Quality Assurance Program Plan DeviationsProcedural deviations or changes from specified procedures which do not affect the physical assembly may be made at the discretion of the responsible engineer. Deviations or changes which require any mechanical or electronic change may be made only after review and approval by a suitable Material Discrepancy Review Board as defined in the Clementine QA Program Plan. Electro-Static Discharge Control RequirementsThe STC contains electrostatic-sensitive devices which are exposed on the PWA and CCD prior to assembly closure and at the electrical interfaces after assembly closure. Therefore, it shall be handled per MIL-STD-1686 Class 1. All work shall be performed in an approved electrostatic discharge control area as defined by the Clementine Quality Assurance Group.The STC, the test operator (using wrist straps), and related electrical test. equipment shall be connected to a common ground before any electrical mating or de-mating operations, and during the use of any electrical test equipment probes. There shall be no "hot-plugging" of the test specimen with any test equipment. Page 3 of 16_.--All electrostatic sensitive parts shall be stored in approved antistatic storage bags when not i n use. Cleanliness and Contamination Control RequirementsAll assembly work shall be performed in a Class 100 laminar flow hood located within a Class 10,000 environment as defined in LLNL document 'Clementine Sensors General Contamination Control Plan'.Handing of all parts shall be with clean lint-free gloves. Personnel shall wear face and hair protective smocks when handling exposed optics. PhotographsPhotographs shall be taken of the unit at major subassembly steps and of the final assembled unit. A suitable ruler shall be used to provide scale. Disassembly Contingency...

“…Using images collected while in lunar orbit from the Ultraviolet/Visible (UVVIS) camera (Kordas et al, 1995;McEwen and Robinson, 1997), scientist generated a detailed global multispectral mosaic and a series of mineralogy and maturity maps (Edwards et al, 1996;Robinson et al, 1999;Lucey et al, 2000a;Lucey et al, 2000b). To facilitate the mapping exercises, efforts were made to geodetically control the images into a global control network.…”

ABSTRACT:The Clementine UVVIS camera returned over half a million images while in orbit around the Moon in 1994. Since the Clementine mission, our knowledge of lunar topography, gravity, and the location of features on the surface has vastly improved with the success of the Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) mission and ongoing Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) mission. In particular, the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC) has returned over a million images of the Moon since entering orbit in 2009. With the aid of improved ephemeris and on-orbit calibration, the LROC team created a series of precise and accurate global maps. With the updated reference frame, older lunar maps, such as those generated from Clementine UVVIS images, are misaligned making cross-mission analysis difficult. In this study, we use feature-based matching routines to refine and recalibrate the interior and exterior orientation parameters of the Clementine UVVIS camera. After applying these updates and rigorous orthorectification, we are able generate precise and accurate maps from UVVIS images to help support lunar science and future cross-mission investigations.
