OberhettingerSubject: Need for Power Subsystem Spares (1998) Abstract: Galileo and Deep Space 1 failures during ground test and integration damag

2、ed power subsystem modules, demonstrating the importance of an adequate supply of these spares. Since power subsystem modules are particularly susceptible to damage during ground test, project sparing policy - even for low cost missions- should allow for unplanned consumption of spacecraft power sub

3、system modules.Description of Driving Event: Innovative, low cost approaches to NASA spaceflight missions may include a reduced inventory of flight hardware spares. However, experience throughout JPL flight project history illustrates the importance of an adequate supply of spare power subsystem mod

4、ules. Both the Galileo and Deep Space 1 projects sustained major damage to power subsystem modules or assemblies due to spacecraft equipment failures during ground test and integration.Since high voltage and current exist in power subsystems, failures that affect power equipment tend to cause more h

Occasionally during ground test, short circuits occur which char spacecraft power subsystem components or vaporize modules to the extent that they are unrepairable. If this occurs close to the launch date, acquisition of replacement units may be impossi
