Changes for 0-G Flight

Things We Don't Need to Worry About Anymore

• Torque on satellite
• Oligo shutting us down
• Authority budget with Oligo

Unchanged

• Still need to use thermocouple data
• Still need to spin motors, speed may change
• Still need to collect readings
• Still need to monitor pressure
• Still need to monitor fault detection
  • Safe mode still must occur for angular rate too high, multiple sensor failures, bus voltage or battery state-of-charge below minimum, persistent control residuals

Differences

• May need to take commands from ground team?
• Our fault detection may need to be more robust?
• Uplink/Downlink power considerations may change
• Overall power budget may change
• No low-power attitude mode
• No safe mode for attitude determination failure (no attitude determination
• No authority budget
