3. INTRODUCTION TO SATELLITE SUBSYSTEMS:
UR Rao Satellite Centre [URSC] is one of the lead Centres of the Indian Space
Research Organisation [ISRO] responsible for Design, Development, Assembly and
Integration of Satellites for various applications.
URSC main campus is spread across a 32-acre campus at Old Airport Road,
Vimanapura post in Bengaluru. To cater to the growing demand for satellite
applications, ISRO Satellite Integration & Testing Establishment [ISITE], a 110-acre
campus which is about 8 km away from the main campus was also established.
URSC/ISITE houses state-of-the-art design, fabrication, and test facilities and large
clean rooms for the assembly, integration and testing of various types of satellites.
Laboratory for Electro-Optics Systems [LEOS], situated at Peenya Industrial Estate,
Bengaluru is engaged in design, development and production of Electro-Optic sensors
and camera optics for satellites and launch vehicles.
The URSC main campus and ISITE campus are hereinafter collectively referred to as
‘URSC’. The specialised teams of scientists, engineers and technicians at URSC have
built more than 90 complex and advanced satellites for various applications in areas of
telecommunications, television broadcasting, VSAT services, tele-medicine, tele-
education, navigation, weather forecasting, disaster warning, search & rescue

operations, earth observations, natural resource management, space science and

interplanetary missions etc.
The Satellite Programme at URSC is categorized into:

9 TESTING AND QUALIFICATION:

The Completely assembled Four Bar Fixture is to be tested for workmanship

verification under following conditions.
9.1 Static Load Test FBF: This test is to be carried out on the completely assembled
FBF to evaluate its workmanship, strength & stiffness in static condition.
L Arm horizontal (Spin axis (Axis-2) vertical):
The L Arm with a test mass of nearly 4000 Kg shall be mounted and to be tested in
stationary conditions with the L arm in position mid of the lowest position and highest
positions.
The load shall be attached from no load to full load preferably each of 500 Kg starting
with 500 Kg onwards in steps and the corresponding deflections will be observed. The
set up is left undisturbed for 2 hours. After 2 hours, the loads are removed in the same
sequence as loading and the corresponding deflections are observed.
In case of any defects noticed after the load test, the welds shall be repaired.
Depending upon the severity of the weld defects, decision would be made for repeat of
the tests, if required.
9.2 Operation/Performance Tests:
9.2.1 Operation test of Bare Four Bar Fixture (With no load condition):
This is the operational test done on fully integrated Four Bar Fixture (FBF) with control
panel to check the performance of the different drive elements like slewing ring
bearings, ball screw, LM guides etc. During this test there will be no test load on the
Four Bar Fixture.
(a) Up and down motion test of L-arm:
This test is done to test the performance of Up and Down geared Motor, LM guides,
Ball screw. During this test, up and down geared motor is switched on. This drives the
ball screw attached to the motor and Ball screw further transfers the motion to the LM
guides to the L-arm. This creates the translational motion to the L-arm in up or down
direction. During this test the performance (i.e. current drawn, running noise and
current drawn of motor) shall be monitored and to be compared with the rated current.
(b) Rotational motion test of L-arm:
This test is done to test the performance of drive axis geared Motor, slew ring
bearing. During this test drive axis geared Motor is switched on which drives the
slewing ring bearing. This further transfers the rotational motion to the L-arm directly

attached to the slewing ring bearing. During this test the performance, current drawn
shall be checked and to be compared with the rated current.
9.2.2 Performance test of Four Bar Fixture With load condition:

This is the operational test done on fully integrated Four Bar Fixture (FBF) with control
panel to check the performance of the different drive elements like slewing ring
bearings, ball screw, LM guides etc. During this test, Four Bar Fixture (FBF) will be
loaded with a final test mass of approx.1500 Kg with 1500 mm C.G. over the S/C
mounting adapter.
(a) Up And Down Movement:
To perform this test, a final test mass of approx. 1500 kgs shall be fastened to spin axis
s/c mounting adopter and geared Motor for Up and Down motion is switched on. This
drives the ball screw attached to the motor. Ball screw further transfers the translational
motion to the LM guides to the L-arm in up or down direction. During this test the
performance of motor should be checked i.e. current drawn, running noise and current
drawn should be compared with the rated current.
(b) Rotation of L-arm:
This test is done to test the performance of drive axis geared Motor, slewing ring
bearing. To perform this test, a final test mass of approx. 1500 Kg with 1500 mm C.G
centre of gravity (C.G.) perpendicular to mounting plane shall be fastened to spin axis
s/c mounting adopter and drive axis geared Motor is switched on. This drives the
slewing ring bearing and further transfers the rotational motion to the L-arm directly
attached to the slewing ring bearing. During this test, the performance of drive geared
motor shall be checked i.e. current drawn, running noise and current drawn should be
compared with the rated current.
9.2.3 Test of Spin axis drive assembly:

Free rotation of Spin axis drive assembly and also the slew ring bearing mounted on
L-arm is to be checked in loaded condition with test mass of approx. 1500 Kg with
1500 mm C.G centre of gravity (C.G.).
9.3 Handling and Mobility Tests:

The empty fixture and fixture with the test mass shall be handled using a handling
slings with the attachment fitted at the designated places and satisfactory handling
shall be demonstrated. The fixture with test mass of 1500 Kg shall be moved on the
plane level surface to demonstrate free movement of castor wheels with load. Care
shall be taken to prevent damage to the wheels during the test.
Equipment / Facilities required for testing:
 Simulation masses upto 4000 kg.
 Crane capacity : upto 5000 kg
 Dial Gauges, Vernier and other measuring instruments for dimensional
measurements and other inspection tools.
