RobertsSubject: Voyager Unbalanced Attitude Control System and Thruster Impingement Effects on Navigation (1977) Abstract: Shortly after the launch of Voyag

2、er, unexpected dynamic effects necessitated additional orbit determination analysis, testing, and modeling to ensure an accurate trajectory. Perform careful coordinated pre-flight analysis to determine the impact of such effects as torques induced by solar pressure and gas impingement on the spacecr

3、aft structure. Design and test to avoid impingement problems.Description of Driving Event: (Relevant Historical Lesson(s) Learned)Shortly after Voyager launch, unexpected translational velocity increments and large non-gravitational acceleration effects were observed in the orbit-determination proce

4、ssing of tracking data. These velocity increments and accelerations were traced to the unbalanced translational accelerations produced by the attitude control system, its response to torques induced by solar pressure, and to the impingement of gas from the pitch thrusters onto other parts of the spa

5、cecraft structure. The magnitude of these dynamic effects required that they be modelled in the orbit determination process throughout the flight. This involved additional orbit determination processing and analysis, and necessitated a new operational interface between the Spacecraft Team and Naviga

6、tion Team. A special in-flight impingement test was performed to provide data for modelling. The pre-flight analysis to recognize or predict the effects and uncertainties from both the unbalanced thrusters and the impingement was inadequate. The result was incomplete flight operations planning by bo

If impingement is suspected, a test similar to the Voyager impingement test should be planned and executed early in the flight.Evidence of Recurrence Control Effectiveness: N/ADocuments Related to Lesson
