内容記述 | UARS flight systems are designed to ensure mission success during the NSTS Orbiter deployment of the UARS Observatory. The Orbiter and its crew capabilities allow the UARS project to take advantage of the on-orbit human presence. These capabilities include human intervention and correction of spacecraft anomalies. The UARS Observatory is based on the Multi-Mission Modular Spacecraft to allow for flexible monitoring and commanding of the observatory. The observatory's Solar Array and High Gain Antenna systems are designed to allow for manual release and/or deployment. The UARS Airborne Support Equipment are designed to support the observatory as an electrical and communication interface to the Orbiter; and as work platform to support Extra-Vehicular Activity (EVA). Tools and EVA equipment were designed and developed to assist the crewmember perform the required contingency tasks. |
