ESA is in the process to select a suitable launch vehicle. • Orbit: The target is a circular Sun-Synchronous Orbit (SSO), 10:30 LTAN with an altitude of 523 km. • Attitude: Nadir-pointing attitude has been selected as a baseline for nominal operations. • Mission profile: The identified orbit produces a cycle of 106 orbits in a week, about 15 orbit per day, in order to complete the coverage of the selected areas of interest (Europe and South Atlantic Anomaly). The definition of the areas of interest was driven by the optical payload and the scientific instruments requirements. 10th IAA Symposium on Small Satellites for Earth Observation April 20 - 24, 2015 Berlin, Germany 8 Launcher and Orbit - 2 • Coverage of the areas of interest: 10th IAA Symposium on Small Satellites for Earth Observation April 20 - 24, 2015 Berlin, Germany 9 The ESEO Spacecraft - 1 • The ESEO Platform: Platform subsystems and units are installed inside the ESEO BUS Module Top Plate: Tray 6: Telemetry and Telecommand (TMTC) Antenna GPS Payload Antenna AMSAT Payload Antenna Sun Sensor Main (SS) Sun Sensor Red (SS) EGSE/Umbilical Connector Telemetry and Telecommand (TMTC) Tray 5: GPS Magnetometer Main (MM) Magnetometer Red (MM) Tray 4: On-Board Data Handling (OBDH) Tray 3: Tray 2: Power Distribution Unit (PDU) Power anagement Board (PMB) Battery Packs (BP) Momentum Wheel Main (MWM) Momentum Wheel Red (MWR) Magnetorquers Y (MT) Tray 1: Lateral Panels: Micropropulsion System (MPS) Solar Arrays (SA) Payload module: Earth Sensor (ES) Micropropulsion System Pressure Vessel (MPV) 10th IAA Symposium on Small Satellites for Earth Observation April 20 - 24, 2015 Berlin, Germany 10 The ESEO Spacecraft - 2 • The ESEO Payload Complement: payloads provided by the university network are installed inside the ESEO Payload Module.
