The design and development of space instruments are considered to be distinct from that of other products. It is because the key considerations are vastly different from those that govern the use of products on planet earth. The service life of a space instrument, its use in extreme space environments, size, weight, cost, and the complexity of maintenance must all be considered. As a result, more innovative ideas and resource support are required to assist mankind in space exploration. This article reviews the impact of product design and innovation on the development of space instruments. Using a systematic literature search review and classification, we have identified over 129 papers and finally selected 48 major articles dealing with space instrument product innovation design. According to the studies, it is revealed that product design and functional performance is the main research focuses on the studied articles. The studies also highlighted various factors that affect space instrument manufacturing or fabrication, and that innovativeness is also the key in the design of space instruments. Lastly, the product design is important to affect the reliability of the space instrument. This review study provides important information and key considerations for the development of smart manufacturing technologies for space instruments in the future.

“…To address this need for on-orbit environment data for anomaly attribution, the Air Force Research Laboratory developed the Compact Environmental Anomaly Sensor Risk Reduction (CEASE RR) and its follow on, CEASE3 (Lindstrom et al, 2018). Of particular interest for this work is that the CEASE3 sensor in its current design possesses an energy coverage gap between 50 and 100 keV between its electrostatic analyzer and its lowest-energy particle telescope.…”

Calibration of the Falcon Solid‐state Energetic Electron Detector (SEED)

et al. 2020

The Falcon Solid-state Energetic Electron Detector (FalconSEED) is an energetic charged particle sensor that has been developed and tested at the United States Air Force Academy in an effort to monitor electron flux across the energy range of 14 to 145 keV in geosynchronous orbit. This sensor has been developed to complement ongoing efforts by the Air Force Research Laboratory to advance a comprehensive space environment sensor suite, Compact Environmental Anomaly Sensor (CEASE3), for anomaly resolution. In addition, FalconSEED is intended to demonstrate the ability to operate a radiation sensor based on predominantly commercial off the shelf components in the geosynchronous environment. This paper describes the design, development, and calibration of FalconSEED. The electron energy spectrum of interest for the FalconSEED sensor is 14 to 145 keV, and is intended to supplement data acquired from the CEASE3 instrument for anomaly resolution. The calibrations at the Space Atmospheric Research Center at the United States Air Force Academy and Kirtland Air Force Base were used to first establish the conversion between histogram bin number and deposited energy in the sensor, and second have been used to determine the geometric factor as a function of energy. The FalconSEED will be integrated as a science payload on the Space Test Program Satellite-6 which also includes the first flight of the CEASE3 instrument and is scheduled to launch in 2021.

“…Relative to science‐quality measurements (as by missions such as the Van Allen Probes), such measurements may be relaxed in terms of energy coverage, energy/time/directional resolution, and flux dynamic range coverage. This limited scope enables use of smaller, cheaper sensors such as the Compact Environmental Anomaly Sensor (CEASE) (Dichter et al, ) or its follow‐on, CEASE‐Risk Reduction (CEASE‐RR) (Lindstrom et al, ).…”

Intelligent Sampling of Hazardous Particle Populations in Resource‐Constrained Environments

et al. 2017

Sampling of anomaly‐causing space environment drivers is necessary for both real‐time operations and satellite design efforts, and optimizing measurement sampling helps minimize resource demands. Relating these measurements to spacecraft anomalies requires the ability to resolve spatial and temporal variability in the energetic charged particle hazard of interest. Here we describe a method for sampling particle fluxes informed by magnetospheric phenomenology so that, along a given trajectory, the variations from both temporal dynamics and spatial structure are adequately captured while minimizing oversampling. We describe the coordinates, sampling method, and specific regions and parameters employed. We compare resulting sampling cadences with data from spacecraft spanning the regions of interest during a geomagnetically active period, showing that the algorithm retains the gross features necessary to characterize environmental impacts on space systems in diverse orbital regimes while greatly reducing the amount of sampling required. This enables sufficient environmental specification within a resource‐constrained context, such as limited telemetry bandwidth, processing requirements, and timeliness.
