Aerospace Vehicles are Complex Systems With Numerous Different Analyses that Need to Be Performed
Aerospace systems are exposed to various loading conditions that all need to befully analyzed
– Static, dynamic, thermal, acoustic, operational
• Typical satellite analyses include:
– Dynamic analysis for shipping, launch, and operation
– Detailed component stress and margin calculations
– Mechanism analysis for deployment of solar panels and reflector
– Thermal analysis for in-orbit operation
