VIBRATION CONTROL
LAUNCH VEHICLES AND SATELLITES
Moog CSA Develops Revolutionary Payload Adapter Ring
The EELV Secondary Payload Adapter (ESPA), was developed by Moog CSA for the Air Force and had its
first launch on the STP-1 in March 2007. ESPA is a satellite adapter for Delta IV and Atlas V launch vehicles.
The ESPA is circular in shape, like a ring, which allows it to carry up to six 400-lb satellites as secondary
payloads, on the launch of a primary satellite weighing up to 15,000 lbs. NASA has developed a lunar
mission built around ESPA, called the Lunar CRater Observation and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS), which
will launch in November of 2009. The Air Force Secretary issued a Memo in February 2008 stating that
the Air Force should fly ESPA Rings on all missions that have excess launch capacity. Moog CSA has the
data rights for manufacturing ESPA Rings for future EELV Missions.
The Air Force is also supporting the development of ESPA Orbital Maneuvering Systems (OMS). The ESPA Ring is being outfitted
with a propulsion system so that the Ring can act as the final stage of a launch vehicle, also known as a free-flyer satellite, for OMS.
SoftRide Isolators Launch on Delta II for OSTM Mission
SoftRide shock and vibration isolators provided by Moog CSA Engineering supported the
Ocean Surface Topography Mission (OSTM)/Jason 2 satellite yesterday as it entered
space aboard a Delta II vehicle. The mission launched successfully on June 20 from
Vandenburg Air Force Base, Calif. at 12:46 a.m. PDT. The NASA-French space agency
oceanography satellite charts sea level, a crucial indicator of global climate change.
Moog CSA Engineering received a contract late in the OSTM mission schedule to
provide the whole-spacecraft isolation system which alleviated the predicted high
lateral launch loads to the spacecraft. This was the first SoftRide mission on a Delta II
launch vehicle and the fourteenth overall.
Moog CSA's Vibration Dampers Aboard GLAST Spacecraft
Moog CSA Engineering's vibration dampers were incorporated in the Gamma-ray
Large Area Space Telescope observatory (GLAST) spacecraft, now known as Fermi,
to reduce launch loads on key mechanical components. GLAST was carried to orbit
successfully on a Delta 2 rocket which lifted off from Cape Canaveral Air Force
Station in Florida June 11 at 12:05 p.m. EDT. The space-based telescope was
designed to explore the high-energy phenomena in the universe and is the first
imaging gamma-ray observatory to survey the entire sky every day. Moog CSA's
products help minimize stresses that result from launch-induced vibration, increasing
the expected functional lifetime of the satellite's attitude control system.
