Is there an equivalent to 'break a leg' in aerospace?
Good luck anyway!
May I ask what the primary constraint is for not adding a small panel that could at least enable bootstrap functionality?
The risk mitigation isn't worth the mass? Too complicated to implement?
- jdiez17 3y agoActually, before we extend the panels we do have do have solar cells on 3 out of 6 faces of the satellite - which should allow us to make sure our attitude control is working as expected. We need to deploy the panels to maximize the solar collection area and thus power for the payloads. And there simply isn't enough space on the other panels to put "backup solar cells" :) Some pictures and more info about the mission here: https://www.tu.berlin/en/about/profile/press-releases-news/nanoff-satellites https://www.tu.berlin/en/about/profile/press-releases-news/n...
- csours 3y agoNeat! Thanks for the info!
