Thermal Control Subsystem model: The model shall utilize an ESTAN node-based thermal model, in which each sensor and temperature-dependent unit has a calculated temperature based upon the state of neighboring heat-producing, dissipating elements and spacecraft environment. Such ESATAN model shall provide an estimate that the on-board temperatures are compatible with the theoretical results predicted by the Critical Design Review of the spacecraft thermal subsystem (the accuracy of such prediction is in the region of +/-10°). The model shall take into account all effects due to thermal radiation of the outside environment, radioactive heating due to the Sun and cooling during eclipses. The model shall be derived from the ESATAN CDR thermal model. Two different models shall be provided:

		•	TRANSFER phase with solar arrays partially deployed

		•	ON-STATION phase with all appendages deployed

	6.		LAE firing: During the firings, the temperature shall be simulated as follows:

			From the beginning of the firing and during the firing,

			T = T_max + (T^nominal – T_max) d^-t/r ,

			with T = 0 at the beginning of the firing,
			r = the time constant of the temperature evolution

			At the end of firing, the soak back effect shall be modeled as a step:

			T = T_max + (Delta)T during n seconds

			After these n seconds, the temperature decreases with a constant rate down to the nominal temperature.

			The User shall be able to define the T_max and r (time constant) values. This shall allow:

		•	To nominally simulate the actual selected motor (using firing data not yet available)

		•	To simulate thermal run-away cases for abort practices.

Capability to alter the SCID (TC and TM identifier).

The SCID is defined in four different places of the DSSS components:

•		In the on-board software which is in charge of the definition of the TM frame

•		In the simulation of the SCU/TIF TC PROM which is in charge of the identification of the TC

•		In the EIF TM which is the DSSS software component in charge of the decommutation of the TM frame (i.e. for synoptic visualization)

•		In the EIF TC which is the DSSS software component in charge of the conversion of the symbolic TC (sent by the DSSS operator) into a bit stream.

The Contractor will provide the necessary tools to alter the SCID (TC and TM identifiers):

•		A simulator LNG sequence to patch the on-board software and to modify the simulation parameters of the PROM TIF. This modification shall be performed after the start of the simulation.

•		A UNIX shell command performing the change of the EIF TC and EIF TM configuration files. This change shall be performed off-line before stating a simulation run.

More detailed file structure information shall be provided in the TDHS ICD.

10.6.3 Format Description Files (FDFs). Format Description Files are used to precisely specify the contents and format of test data. Format Description Files (FDFs) will be used by INTELSAT as a means for interpreting TDRs and displaying their values for engineering analysis.

Format Description Files are to be delivered to INTELSAT prior to the delivery of any TDRs that reference the FDF and are subject to INTELSAT’s approval.

10.6.4 Test Data Records (TDRs). All engineering test measurements deliverable to INTELSAT as defined in the Detailed Test Plan are to be formatted into Test Data Records (TDRs) and transmitted to INTELSAT. A TDR consists of a TDHS header followed by test data, textual descriptions, calibration information, and any other relevant data.

10.6.5 Data Acquisition Requirements. All TDHS standard data operations at each Contractor’s facility shall be actively managed by a central responsible authority hereafter referred to as the Program Data Exchange System (PDES). The function of PDES is to accept spacecraft subsystem and system-level test data from various sources, at the Contractor’s facility, and act as the transfer point between the Contractor and INTELSAT. All records shall be transferred electronically to INTELSAT via network. All spacecraft test areas that perform acceptance tests above the unit level are responsible for providing to INTELSAT via PDES their test records in TDHS format.

All FDFs and TDRs (including corrections or retests) are to be validated at the test areas. This validation requires the appropriate engineering authority, under the direction of the Spacecraft Manager, to review the data and to verify that the record is accurate. No records of any type are to be declared valid and passed on to PDES without this human interaction.

10.6.6 Computer Interface Definitions. The Contractor shall provide INTELSAT with a network connection to a data relay server through a Contractor supplied computer communications network. The data relay server (a Contractor computer) shall provide

•

minimum number of operational channels suffering interruptions due to switch rotations

B2-33

Asterisks (“**”) indicate omitted material pursuant to a request for confidential treatment
INTEL-2400
APPENDIX 2 TO EXHIBIT B
REVISION 2

•		minimum number of operational channels suffering interruptions due to the dual EPC design

•		minimum total number of switch position changes

•		minimum global loss for active (operational) channels (the losses are based on RF computed loss values related to the output matrix).

Additional constraint criteria for the switching algorithms shall be defined:

•		channelised sections (input channel to output channel) which may not have their input/output paths disrupted

•		maximum number of switch crossed for any active chain.

The final output of the algorithm shall be a set of switch position changes required, and the sequence of such switch position changes, to configure or reconfigure the redundancy ring.

	3.		A command template showing the required commands associated with repositioning an antenna

	4.		Clear definition of all calibration data, including all antenna orientation on the earth deck relative to the INTELSAT coordinate system defined in Exhibit A, the definition of allowable range of travel for each antenna, and the direction that a Positive command will move each axis of the antenna

Antenna pointing algorithms shall be verified by test and shall be calibrated at antenna level and at system level taking into account all error sources and the telemetry/command chain. The Contractor shall provide a comparison of the pointing test results and the predictions of the antenna-pointing algorithm by using the calibration data.

5. PRODUCT ASSURANCE ANALYSES

5.1 Reliability Evaluation

The Contractor shall perform reliability analyses of the equipment at unit and system level to demonstrate the adequacy of equipment configurations and to provide analytical evidence that the spacecraft design is based on sound reliability principles. Reliability Analysis shall be performed and updated as required and shall use modification factors from MIL-HDBK-217F (or equivalent) which take into account predicted or actual electrical or temperature stresses. Failure rates not included in MIL-HDBK-217F shall be provided by the Contractor and their source made available to INTELSAT.

5.2 Parts Derating and Stress Analysis

Parts derating and stress analyses shall be performed. An updated analysis shall be provided prior to approval of any design change. A closed-loop system shall be used by the Contractor to identify any deviation from derating and application criteria and the required action to correct and/or justify the deviations.

Parts derating and stress analyses shall be prepared for all circuits utilized in the spacecraft to verity compliance. Worst-case environments, parameter variations and stresses including transients, shall be used to obtain the relative derating of each part.

Mechanical and thermal stress analyses shall also be performed for all assemblies. These analyses shall be used to evaluate the suitability of the processes and materials to be used as part of the design with respect to life and environmental conditions.

5.3 Failure Mode, Effect and Criticality Analyses

Failure Mode, Effect and Criticality Analyses shall be performed with the objective of detecting single-point failures. Single-point failures shall be defined as the failure of any single item, which causes spacecraft performance to degrade below specified subsystem interface requirements. All interfaces shall be analyzed for compatibility and failure propagation. If multiple units are packaged in the same equipment housing, coupling paths between units (i.e., thermal, mechanical, and electrical) shall be analyzed to identify and correct any potential failure propagation conditions. Single-point failures existing in each subsystem shall be listed in the critical item list.

5.4 Worst Case Analysis

All spacecraft assemblies, circuits and on-board software and firmware shall be evaluated to ensure satisfactory operation under worst case conditions. These analyses shall consider, but not be limited to, the possible effects of soft errors (upsets) in digital logic devices, and shall identify

INTEL-2400
APPENDIX 3 TO EXHIBIT B
REVISION 2

methods for the prevention or reduction of the probability of occurrence. These analyses shall also include verification of performance with worst case specification parameters. The worst case analyses shall be performed according to requirements mutually agreed with INTELSAT.

5.5 Critical Items List

The Contractor shall identify critical items and maintain a list of such items to monitor their qualification status and the progress of their control. Criteria to cause items to be classified as critical shall be:

	1.		Non-redundant major elements;

	2.		Items not previously flight qualified;

	3.		Items with single point failures;

	4.		Items with highly sensitive processes;

	5.		Items which are difficult to be tested on the ground;

	6.		Items containing life limited parts, i.e., wear out modes; or

	7.		Items which are radiation sensitive or use new technology.

The Contractor shall define in the Critical Items List the procedure by which he plans to control the critical aspects of each unit, whether by design, inspection, or special tests. Testing of critical items shall be completed before acceptance testing of the first flight spacecraft (except for long-life testing).

Each item in the Critical Items List shall have complete and documented acceptance before the launch of the first spacecraft. The Critical Items List shall be submitted to INTELSAT as defined in the CDRL.

5.6 Safety Analyses

The Contractor shall establish and maintain a Safety Program to ensure that the spacecraft and all units and subsystems are capable of being manufactured, stored, handled, transported, installed, and tested safely during all Contract phases. The details of the program shall be included in the Product Assurance Plan.
