Scientific paper

The Thermosphere, Ionosphere, Mesosphere, Energetic and Dynamics (TIMED) Spacecraft is being designed at The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (JHU/APL) as the first Solar Terrestrial Probe in the NASA Solar Connections Program. The spacecraft must support the operation of four scientific instruments for two years with a significant amount of autonomy, as TIMED will be run with a low cost mission operations concept. A robust, fully redundant spacecraft has been designed which features an Integrated Electronics Module, containing RF and digital subsystems in a common card cage, and 32-bit RISK processors. The Global Positioning System (GPS) will be used for on-orbit tracking, navigation, and event based commanding. Several experimental modes of spacecraft operation will be attempted, including stellar only navigation, coarse attitude determination using GPS, and atmospheric sensing using GPS.
