Scientific paper

This paper describes the thermal design and flight results of the X-Ray Timing Explorer (XTE) deployable mechanisms. The two subsystems discussed are the SADA and the APS gimbal. The SADA (Solar Array Drive Assembly) is the mechanism that maneuvers the solar arrays during flight operation and the APS gimbal (Antenna Pointing System gimbal) is the mechanism that maneuvers the high gain antenna during flight operation. Testing and analysis will be covered where appropriate and flight results will be given and compared to requirements. The XTE spacecraft was launched in December 30, 1995at8:40 EST. The solar arrays and both high gain antennas deployed nominally and are operating within their temperature limits.
