TSIS Experiences with ISS Jitter from Inception to On-Orbit Operation
[摘要] The TSIS instrument has been measuring solar irradiance on a continual basis since January 2018 as an external payload on the ISS. In 2014 when TSIS was directed to fly on the ISS, the jitter environment was highly uncertain, so TSIS designed a robust gimbaled pointing system that showed excellent disturbance attenuation throughout the design, test, and on-orbit phases of the program. This paper discusses how TSIS accounted for this uncertain jitter environment through-out the life of the program.TSIS was able to measure the ISS jitter during commissioning and determined that it was a relatively benign environment less than 4 arcseconds 1σ at low frequencies (<0.5 Hz). More importantly, the measured pointing performance of TSIS was consistently found to be 4 arcseconds 1σ, which easily satisfied the jitter requirement of 60 arcseconds 1σ.
