These units are defined in DoD-Std-l376a. For measurement value

24、s not covered in DoD-Std- 1476a, the document Fed-Std-376a may be used as a supplement. Linear dimensions should be in whole millimeters. 3.2 Coordinate System An X, Y, Z three axis orthogonal coordinate sys- tem is defined for utility connectors, with the X coordinate is parallel to the connector i

25、nterface. The Y and Z axes are, by definition, perpendicu- lar to the X axis with the Z axis vertical toward a designated up index point around the X axis. The Y axis is perpendicular to the Z axis and is ori- ented lateral to the designated up index of the Z axis. 3.3 Design Considerations The desi

26、gn and mechanical interfaces should be kept as simple as possible, 3.4 Interface Considerations Considerations for the design of utility connector interface hardware must compensate for the worst case uncertainties to assure a successive mate and demate without damage to the internal connections. An

27、 example of a typical interface footprint with power, data, fiberoptic and fluid connections is illustrated in Figure 1. Conditions which must be considered in the inter- face design are: mate/demate engagement tol- erance, activation force limits, engagement over- center force limits, mounting stru

28、cture integrity requirements, impact momentum tolerance, tip- off dynamics limits, emergency disconnect provi- sions, thermal distortions, shell, electrical, data, 2 STD-AIAA G-072-ENGL L995 D Ob9553q 0002213 4LI2 microwave, fiberoptic and fluid interfaces align- ment, electrostatic differences at c

29、ontact, sizing, mass (lightest design for required strength), and reliability. 3.5 Pin and Port Shape Electrical pins, fiberoptic fiber ends, and fluid ports should be clearly identified and physically incompatible when they differ in content (e.g., dif- ferent voltages, fluids, etc.). (NASA-30550)

30、3.6 Definition of Mate / Demate Sequence 3.6.1 Initial Condition Capture / Centering Guide with suitable alignment the utility connector plug and receptacle shells into coincidence on the path required to complete a soft docking ac- tion. Fluid ports require added provision for a two phase engagemen

31、t: first, latching to resist pres- sure separation, and second, opening to permit fluid flow. AIAA G-072-1995 3.7.2 Utility Connector MateDemate Classifications When the engagement force exceeds the capac- ity for manual or EVA operation, it is necessary to use mechanical assistance for mate/demate.

32、 The mechanisms include special hand tools, and robotic and automatic systems. 3.7.2.1 Extravehicular Activity Class I - Manual or Manual or EVA utility connector activation may be performed when the z axis engagement or dis- engagement force does not exceed 8 Newton?s (20 pounds). 3.7.2.2 Class II

33、 Robotic System EVA and robotically compatible operations may be performed when z axis engagement or disen- gagement force are less than 8 newtons (20 pounds), or 40 newtons (100 pounds) when au- tonomous robotic systems are used. 3.7.2.3 Class 111 - Automatic System 3.6.2 Mate Complete the attachm

34、ent sequence contacting and completing the connection of utilities and locking the connector shells. Automatic operations may be performed when the z axis engagement or disengagement force exceeds the capacity of EVA and Robotic Systems, and when automatic operations are feasible. 3.6.3 Demate 3.8 M

35、aterials With a minimized change in dynamics, the above sequence is reversed. 3.7 Application of Requirements The connector should be constructed of materi- als that will not be affected by fluid media, space environment, or service life cycle specified. Detailed requirements described in this Guide

36、 3.9 Interchangeability can to be applied as appropriate to all spacecraft utility connectors. 3.9.1 Connectors 3.7.1 Ground-based and On-orbit Connectors of the same part number should be Operations interchangeable. This includes like assemblies, subassemblies, and replaceable parts. (NASA- Each op

37、eration requires different operating prac- 30550) tices. Where crew or robotic interfaces are in- volved, both NASA-Std-3000, Man-System 3.9.2 Resupply and docking/berthing Integration Standard and NASA SSP 30550, System Robotic Systems Integration Standard, applies. Where practical, have resupply t

39、ge and to minimize the entry of contaminants. Each cover should be tethered to its respective half. 3.1 3.3 Multiple Failures Failure propagation protection should be pro- vided such that transient out-of-tolerance condi- tions or component failures should not cause other component or subsystem fail

40、ures. (NASA- 30550) 3.1 3.4 Threaded Fasteners 3.1 1 Launch Vehicle Safety The connector should comply with the applicable safety requirement of launch and transportation vehicles in both the mated and demated posi- tions, and during all operational phases associ- ated with its use. 3.1 2 Failure To

41、lerance. 3.1 2.1 Critical Hazards Critical hazards should be controlled such that no single failure or operator error can result in dam- age to launch equipment, a disabling personnel injury, or the use of unscheduled safety proce- dures that affect operations. A utility connector hazard is exemplif

42、ied by the case of incompatible connector mating caused arcing in an explosive environment. 3.1 2.2 Catastrophic Hazards Catastrophic hazards should be controlled such that no single or combination of two failures or operator errors can result in the potential for a dis- abling or fatal personnel in

43、jury or loss of the launch vehicle, ground facilities, or equipment. 3.1 3 Failure Deterrent Positive locking on threaded parts and fasteners should be incorporated to prevented loosening during service. The use of safety wire should be pro hi bited. 3.1 3.5 Installation Backward or improper install

44、ation of unidirectional components or piece parts should be prevented by use of non-symmetry of configuration, differ- ent connecting sizes, or other comparable means. 3.1 3.6 Sliding Fits Sliding fits should be designed to preclude fric- tional failures and/or binding. (NASA-30550) 3.13.7 Induced E

45、nvironment Fatigue failure resulting from flow-induced vibra- tion in flexible sections should be prevented by proper design practices, engagement approach, and materials selection. 3.1 4 Position Indicators The connector should be designed with appro- priate indicators to provide indication that th

46、e connector has been fully mated or demated. The connector should be designed such that: 3.1 5 Indexing (Keying) 3.13.1 Liquid Traps Built-in liquid traps, which would cause malfunc- tion or failure, should be eliminated. (NASA- 30550) 3.13.2 Blind Pockets Hidden corrosion could develop in blind poc

47、kets and should therefore be prohibited. (NASA- 30550) The connector should incorporate an indexing feature to prevent mating with other connector part numbers and/or with the same connector pari number. (NASA-30550) 3.1 6 Maintainability When practical, the connector should be de- signed so that ma

48、intenance, overhaul, or adjust- ment during its operating life can be accom- plished on the sewicee half. 4 r- STD-AIAA G-072-ENGL L995 m Ob7553Li 00022L5 215 AIAA G-072-1995 3.1 7 ORU Utility Connectors ORUs requiring electrical power and data trans- fer should be designed with an integrated utilit

Following emergency disconnection the design should be resetable to its pre-emergency disconnect oper- ational status. There should be no degradation in capability as a result of emergency disconnect. 4.1.2 EVA Handholds Where a
