LAT Design Changes Since Delta-PDR
•
•
Subsystem changes affecting system performance
– Re-designed TKR bottom tray: added titanium and CFC reinforcement to CC tray
– Modified TKR flexure: accommodated updated bottom tray design and provided for
stiffer cantilever mode for TKR
– Increased ACD mass: accommodated larger tile overlaps and an increase in structural
stiffness/strength
LAT internal interface changes
– Integrated Grid Wing into bottom flange
•
•
–
Changed TKR thermal interface to thermal straps
•
–
Boxes are now hard-mounted to CAL plate by way of moment-bearing stand-offs
Cleaner structural design simplified analysis and test plans for CAL and Electronics groups
Forces on the X-LAT Plate are reduced to just the inertial loads of the plate
X-LAT plate thermal connection changed to V-Therm cloth
•
–
This was part of TKR bottom tray re-design
Effect was to increase TKR first-mode natural frequency
Moved Electronics Box structural mount to CAL back plate
•
•
•
–
Copper straps provided an improved compliant joint to the Grid
Stiffened TKR flexure connection to Grid by eliminating the shimmed “diving board”
•
•
–
Incorporated Wing into machined Grid (no longer a bolt-on part)
Tapered the Wing into a full bottom flange around Grid perimeter to reduce stress concentrations
at SC mount, heat pipe cut-outs, and CAL-Grid tab joints
Test program underway
CAL-Grid bolted joint modified to include pins
•
•
LAT-PR-01967
Development program underway to finalize pinned joint design
Design incorporated into CDR analysis

LAT External Interface Changes Since Delta-PDR
•
•
•
•
Finalized Radiator dimensions and interface
– Modified Radiator aspect ratio at request of Spectrum
– Agreed on final width, based on reduction in spacing between Radiators that was
requested by Spectrum
– Agreed on final height, based on Spectrum’s positioning of the LAT and PAF stay-clear
agreements with Boeing
– Resulting radiator area has increased to 2.78 m2, although its efficiency has decreased
Finalized Radiator mount location to SC
– Moved strut mounting location down at request of Spectrum
– This reduced Radiator first-mode natural frequency, but margin to 50 Hz requirements is
still large
Modified LAT-SC mount region
– Finalized bolt pattern and pad size to accommodate Spectrum’s flexure design
– Agreed to final LAT and SC stay-clear geometry around flexure
Increased LAT envelope around ACD
– Increased envelope by 10 mm around the base of the ACD to accommodate the lower
ACD tile and connectors
– Change was approved by GLAST PO and Spectrum, and is part of the LAT baseline

Change Control Board Changes Since Delta-PDR
•
•
•
•
ACD mass growth (LAT-XR-01200-01)
– Added structural mass to increase design margins
– Added mass in scintillating tiles to increase size of tiles and overlap between tiles
Mechanical Systems mass growth (LAT-XR-01621-01)
– Added mass for Grid box additions: Grid Wing, bottom flange, EMI Skirt stiffening, X-LAT
thermal straps
– Added mass for slightly increased Radiator area
Calorimeter mass de-allocation (LAT-XR-01642-01)
– Decreased mass allocation to reflect reduction in size of CsI logs
– Log size was reduced to accommodate tolerance stack-up within CFC box structure
Power allocation update (LAT-XR-01998-02)
– Updated power allocations based on current measured values
– New allocations and hot-/cold-case bounds flowed to LAT-TD-00225-05, “A Summary of
LAT Dissipated Power for Use in Thermal Design.”
– Updated allocations and bounds have been used for CDR thermal analysis

Trade Studies Since Delta PDR
•
Moved Electronics Box structural mount to CAL back plate
– Trade issues
•
•
–
Trade conclusion
•
•
•
–
Boxes now hard-mounted to CAL plate by way of moment-bearing stand-offs
The cleaner structural design simplifies analysis and test plans for CAL and Electronics groups
Forces on the X-LAT Plate are reduced to just inertial loads of the plate
Open issues
•
•
•
•
Hard-mounting the Electronics Boxes to the X-LAT Plates vastly increases the complexity of the
structural design, and makes verification testing of the CAL difficult
De-coupling the Electronics Boxes produces a stiffer, more testable structural design, at the cost
of a lower-conductance thermal design
X-LAT Plate to Electronics Box thermal interface is still under development
V-Therm is the baseline design, but its implementation is still under development
More on this during the Mechanical Subsystem talk
Radiator panel top profile
– Trade issue
•
•
–
Prior to spacecraft selection, a rectangular hole was baselined at the top of the Radiator, to allow
for integrating the VCHP’s and accessing the LAT-SC bolted joint
This design was structurally adequate, but afforded poor access to the CDR VCHP connection
design and limited access to the SC-LAT bolted joint
Trade conclusion
•
•
•
LAT-PR-01967
Modified the Radiator panel design to include a stepped top profile
Radiator area is only marginally impacted
The stepped design allows good access along the entire top of the Radiator, under the bottom of
the ACD

Structural Interface Open Issues
•
CAL-Grid structural joint
– Issue: joint has recently been changed from an all-friction joint to a pinned joint, but
analysis and development testing are not yet complete
– Closure plan
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
X-LAT Plate to Electronics box thermal joint
– Issue: thermal strap design was recently abandoned in favor of V-Therm carbon fiber
cloth, with much testing yet to be done
– Closure plan
•
•
•
•
•
Work with GLAST PO to update interface loads, based on latest CLA results
Structural analysis underway  CDR analysis results will be used to finalize joint limit loads
Joint testing is underway  Coupon tests will establish joint allowables
Process development work underway  Pinned liquid-shim application processes (and the impact
on the joint design) are understood; final process qualification is underway
Investigate alternate designs if pinned joint design still shows negative margin  alternate
concepts being pursued now
Re-evaluate LAT modal frequencies with final design
Materials testing
Contamination studies and testing
Thermal properties testing
Joint design and tolerance study
Radiator-SC strut angle
– Issue: Spectrum has proposed to change the IRD baseline and angle support struts
holding the bottom of the Radiator
– Closure plan

CDR/CD-3 Review May 12-16 2003
Summary of Structural RFA’s from Peer Review
•
•
•
17 structural RFA’s
17 responses submitted for review and closure
– 4 RFA’s closed by originator
– 6 RFA’s accepted for closure, pending evaluation of response at CDR
– 6 RFA responses submitted/updated; waiting on response from originator
– 1 RFA response rejected  issue remains open
Open RFA: Consider requesting a set of S/C flexures to use during dynamic testing of LAT
– SC flexures have been considered for use during LAT environmental testing, but their
use has not been baselined
– While the use of the SC flexures is conceptually appealing, the logistics and
complications of implementing them into the LAT test planning was deemed not worth
the additional cost associated with using them
•
•
–
The LAT is currently investigating either a fixed-base or flexing mount to STE for
structural/dynamics testing
•
•
–
SC flexures not currently designed for LAT test loads, so Spectrum loads requirements would
need to be updated and flexures re-designed
SC flexure design and analysis details would need to be delivered to the LAT, along with
verification test data
Flexure design would be capable of handling LAT test loads  this is the current STE
requirements as defined in the LAT Dynamics Test Plan
Fixed-base design requires early structural analysis to verify that it does not overload the
bolted/pinned joint.
This structural evaluation is planned to be worked after CDR, with the constraint that the
final implementation can not affect the flight hardware design

Summary of Key Deflections Due to Launch Loads
•
•
Structural analysis results do NOT
include the participation of the bolted
CAL-Grid friction joint
– Result is that deflections are larger
than predicted at Delta-PDR, since
LAT is less stiff
Grid Deflection
– 6.8 g thrust load at MECO
produces maximum Grid bowing
– Grid max deflections
•
•
•
TKR Gap closing
– Dishing of the Grid tends to tip
TKR modules together
•
•
Center: 0.88 mm down
Corner: 0.53 mm down / 0.28 mm
up
Max gap closing: 0.52 mm
Radiator distortion
– In-plane max motion: 1.0 mm
– Out-of-plane max bowing: 1.0 mm

Interface Load Recovery
•
•
•
The LAT Environmental Specification is the collection point for interface loads for subsystem
design and test
Current load tables in the LAT Environmental Specification contain results from the Delta-PDR
structural model (also being used for the current CLA cycle)
– Some interface limit loads were generated by LAT static-equivalent analyses
– Some limit loads were gleaned from the preliminary CLA, completed in December, 2001
The goal of CDR analysis is to generate updated loads, based on the CDR design, and compare
with Delta-PDR design values
– Include results for all load cases to assure that worst-case loads have been captured
– Identify interfaces and load cases where CDR analysis shows higher predicts than earlier
analysis  develop action plan to resolve these issues
– Identify interfaces where loads have come down considerably  investigate reducing limit
loads in the Environmental Specification, to increase design margin

Loads shown are the maxima for all 4
mount points, for the staticequivalent load cases shown
– 5.1 g lateral test acceleration
defines peak lateral loads
– SC-LAT support is designed for
this, but LAT test program does
not require this high lateral load
case
– Currently working with GLAST
PO to re-define test load cases
to more realistic values
Environmental Spec loads are the
result of the preliminary CLA, but do
not include the 5.1 g load case

Loads are derived from the LAT staticequivalent analysis, using LAT center-ofgravity accelerations
The preliminary CLA of the LAT/Radiators on
a generic spacecraft predicted a maximum
strut load of only 365 N, so the CLA does not
produce the limit load for this interface
Acoustic analysis predictions could alter
these limit loads for the interface to the SC
mount struts

Test goals
– Validate the LAT structural finite element analysis (FEA) model by correlating with test
results
– Measure all primary modes of the LAT/Grid structure.
– Measure the first mode, and all modes predicted to have high mass participation, for
every subsystem
– Measure as many natural frequencies of the LAT up to 150 Hz as practical
– Test results will be used to evaluate the predicted expected modal frequencies and mode
shapes, and used to modify the structural FEA, if needed.
– Finalize test environments and notching plans for sine vibration testing
Configuration
– Fully integrated, except the Radiators are not mounted
– Supported off of its spacecraft (SC) mount brackets,
– +Z-axis point vertically up
– LAT powered off during testing
Specialized test equipment requirements
– LAT supported by the Vibe Test Plate which provides a rigid support of each mount point
– Vibe Test Plate sits on a massive base-isolated table, to damp high-frequency base noise
being transmitted to the structure
– Excited using two stingers, located under the LAT

LAT Sine Vibration / Sine Burst Tests
•
•
•
Test goals
– Verify the LAT’s ability to survive the low frequency launch environment
– Test for workmanship on hardware such as wiring harnesses, MLI, and cable support and
strain-reliefs which will not have been fully verified at the subsystem level
– Interface verification test for subsystem structural interfaces to the LAT Grid
Configuration
– Fully integrated, except the Radiators are not installed
– Supported off of its spacecraft (SC) mount brackets, on the Vibration Test Stand
– The LAT is tested in all three axes, X, Y, and Z independently, requiring re-configuration
between tests
– The LAT is powered off during sinusoidal vibration testing, and the E-GSE cable
harnesses removed
Specialized test equipment requirements
– The Vibe Test Stand must support the LAT at the SC interface with flight-like connections
– The Stand must allow for reconfiguration to alternate axes, with the LAT attached, to
avoid unnecessary handling

LAT Acoustic Test
•
•
•
•
Test goals
– Verify the LAT’s ability to survive the acoustic launch environment
– Test for workmanship on LAT hardware, especially that hardware which responds to
acoustic loading
– Validate the acoustic analysis
Configuration
– LAT is fully integrated, including the Radiators
– Mounted to STE using the flight-configuration bolted joint
– LAT +Z-axis vertical, and with Radiators integrated to the Grid as well as to the STE at the
SC strut mount points
– LAT is powered off during acoustic testing, and the E-GSE cable harnesses removed
Specialized test equipment requirements
– The Vibe Test Stand must support the LAT in the same degrees of freedom as the SC
flexures, to avoid over-constraining the Grid and Radiators
– The STE fills the volume between the Radiators, so must approximate the acoustic
behavior of the SC
Instrumentation
– Accelerometers mounted to the LAT and test stand
– Microphones mounted around the LAT

LAT Surveying
•
Survey program goals
– Verify as-integrated interface stay-clears
– Verify LAT alignment requirements
– Verify science performance requirements
•
•
•
•
Validate analytical thermal-mechanical analysis models
Develop correlation functions for thermal-mechanical distortion
Predict the expected on-orbit precision of the instrument
Survey program description
– Optical surveying
•
•
•
•
–
Subsystem inspection measures position of survey retro-reflector balls with respect to physical
features and active elements of subsystem module
After integration, laser tracker measures bearing and distances to balls on the LAT and in the
integration room
Data reduction of measurements produces position location information for all balls relative to
room coordinate system, and prediction of measurement precision
This will establish location of subsystem surfaces and features in their as-integrated positions,
providing a verification check during integration
Muon surveying
•
•
•
•
•
LAT-PR-01967
Uses naturally-occurring cosmic-ray muons
Muons generate straight-line tracks through TKR modules
Mis-alignments between modules will show up as a step in the reconstructed track
With muons generating enough cross-tower tracks, the relative locations of tower can be
measured
This will be used to precisely establish the locations and attitudes (and changes) of TKR modules

Calibration Unit beam tests at SLAC
Specialized test equipment requirements
– Room temperature controlled to within 5 oC (TBR)
– LAT and GSE/STE temperature stable to within 2 oC (TBR)
– Support stands allow for leveling the LAT to within 0.2 degrees to ensure proper
functioning of heat pipes
– Chill plates provide a heat sink for the Grid during in-air testing
Outstanding technical issues
– Investigating the use of inclinometers during thermal-vacuum testing
– Thermal-mechanical model of LAT in test configuration has not yet been done—this is

RFA Response/Closure Plan
A TKR module is mounted to the Grid by way of 8 flexures, They extend down through the bay cut-out in

fabrication plans
alignment and structural support.
On the TKR side of the interface, the holes in the flexure are established during assembly of the bottom
tray. The tray close-out is assembled using a jig which accurately locates the 4 titanium corner bosses
and close-out side pieces. The jig also holds these in place during curing of the structural adhesive
which holds the pieces together. As part of this assembly process, the corner flexures are pinned and
bonded to the titanium corner bosses). Once the tray is cured, holes are machined in the corner
flexures using drill bushing that are machined into the assembly jig. Likewise, the mid-side flexures
are accurately located on the close-out and bonded in place, using the jig for alignment.
The result of this process is 12 flexure holes which are 25 microns oversized, located to an absolute
accuracy of 12 microns (TBD) with respect to the bottom tray. During module stacking, and wall bolt-up,
the perpendicularity of the sidewalls is established by the bottom tray. Thus, the overall alignment of a
module is held very tightly, with little tolerance build-up, with respect to the holes in the flexures.
On the Grid side of the interface, the mating hole features for mounting the flexures are counterbored
holes and tapped holes for locating the shoulder bolt and carrying shear, and a for locking the bolt in
place. The holes are positioned and drilled using a jig . This jig is fabricated with the bottom tray
assembly jig, and the mating holes are match-drilled. This ensures that the flexure and Grid holes line
up exactly, to the degree of repeatability of the hole drilling process. On the Grid side of the interface,
the counterbored holes are expected to be aligned to within 25 microns (TBR) with respect to true
position. The jig will be positioned in the Grid bay by two pins located on the top flange of the Grid.
Vertical position and pitch/yaw attitude of the jig will be established with respect to the Grid primary
datum feature (the bottom of the Grid at the corners) and not the local surface of the top flange. This
eliminates the tipping error associated with the planarity tolerance of the Grid top surface.
A secondary issue associated with TKR module positioning is assuring that the flexures can provide
adequate range of flexing in their as-installed position. This is determined by the tolerance of position
and perpendicularity of the Grid top flange sidewall with respect to the flexures on the orthogonal
sidewalls. To accommodate this need, the Grid top flange sidewalls will be toleranced with respect to
the same pin holes in the bay that are used to position flexure holes. This eliminates tolerance buildup which would limit the flexure range-of-travel. TKR flexures requirements are that they be positioned
to within +/- 0.2 mm (TBR) of their true position. Current plans for Grid machining include machining
the sidewalls to a profile tolerance of 0.25 mm (double-sided), which provides 0.15 mm of margin.

RFA Response/Closure Plan
SC flexures have been considered for use during LAT environmental testing, but their use has not
been baselined. While the use of the SC flexures is conceptually appealing, the logistics and
complications of implementing them into the LAT test planning was deemed not worth the
additional cost (dollars and risk) associated with using them. The LAT is currently investigating
either a fixed-base or flexing mount to STE for structural/dynamics testing. The constraint is that
the mount must not load the LAT-SC interface region beyond its design and test limit loads. The
option to use the SC flexures will be revisited post CDR as a mitigation to the concerns noted as
part of the final selection of the STE interface approach.
Regarding strength testing of the Grid, Grid bays will be proof tested one at a time, using STE to
pull on all eight support points simultaneously. This fixture has not yet been designed, but it is
intended to load the Grid interface in a manner consistent with the flight interface. Using flexurelike mounts is one means to accomplish this.
Pre-test analysis is planned for all LAT dynamics tests, but will not be completed until after CDR.
Once instrumentation and cabling is chosen, they will be added to the mass report. Until such
time, they are carried as a lien on the LAT mass reserve. Selection and baselining of the fly-away
test instrumentation is planned to be complete by August, 2003
The thermal soak structural load case has been modified to reflect worst-case hot and cold
survival soak temperatures for subsystems. Results of this load case will be part of the CDR

See the response to RFA #18. SC flexures have been considered for use during LAT
environmental testing, but their use has not been baselined. While the use of the SC flexures is
conceptually appealing, the logistics and complications of implementing them into the LAT test
planning was deemed not worth the additional cost (dollars and risk) associated with using them.
The LAT is currently investigating either a fixed-base or flexing mount to STE for structural/dynamics
testing. The constraint is that the mount must not load the LAT-SC interface region beyond its
design and test limit loads
This has been identified on the LAT risk list. The shear pin design has been baselined, but the
design with current lateral loads shows significant negative margin. Closure plan includes reassessing lateral input loads as generated from the CLA. Shear pin prototype testing is on-going,
and results will be addressed at CDR.
The LAT Environmental Specification flows static-equivalent accelerations and interface limit loads
down to the Electronics subsystem for box design, analysis and testing. Qualification of box
designs will include sine burst testing, among other dynamics tests.
