OnOrbit Failure Statistical Analysis and Suggestions for Small Satellites of CAST968 Platform

  

  • Online:2015-10-24 Published:2015-12-01

Abstract: Statistics is made based on 142 failures of CAST968platform small satellites from 2000 to 2014. The analysis results show that there are obvious regularities in failure characters, reasons, component types, time, subsystems, etc. Considering the importance of attitude and orbit control subsystem (AOCS) for the success of satellite mission, the statistics on failure reasons, components and component types of AOCS are analyzed. The design,environment and equipment are the three important factors resulting in AOCS failures. A brief analysis of the other subsystems is presented. Finally, failure prevention and design suggestions are given, including optimizing the designs of antiirradiation, key components and circuits’ redundancy, etc.

Key words: CAST968, onorbit failure analysis, failure prevention, design suggestion
