Descripción
The hold-down, release and deployment mechanisms designed for SMOS PLM
MIRAS have been a challenging activity in terms of design compromise,
schedule and cost effectiveness. The existing design coming from
previous phase was totally reanalysed to be adapted to a specific
mission with extra requirements, making the previous design not totally
valid as it was conceptually conceived. Novel concepts were implemented
to maintain the feasibility of the design, providing compliance to new
and more restrictive requirements. Exhaustive testing proved those
concepts and provided the necessary maturity to be valid for flight.
This paper is focused on all those new concepts and novelties
implemented in phase C/D for the SMOS PLM Instrument Mechanisms as to
reach the compliance to the applicable specification.
