Scientific paper
The concept of micro-satellites requires adapted mechanisms with good efficiency for low cost and weight. It is therefore very attractive first to integrate several functions in the same device, and additionally to develop generic technologies that may be reused for several missions. Following this philosophy, this paper presents the works conducted together by METRAVIB RDS and the CNES, to develop a self actuating, guiding and locking hinge for appendices deployment. After the presentation of the basic principle, we describe the development logic which consists in three steps: the preliminary design lies on rough models to handle the weight and size to torque and stiffness compromise; then, advanced numerical simulations are requested to complete the design justification vs operational requirements; finally, various tests, from ground laboratory conditions, on a dedicated test bench, up to microgravity fligths, brought the insights for validation of the models. In the last section, we present the technical data sheet of a first product dedicated to Solar Array of CNES MicroSatellites family, together with its application to a Deployable Sensor Carrier developed for DEMETER mission. This latter demonstrate the generic character of this promising device currently under qualification.
