摘要

Fractionated spacecraft consist of physically independent, "free-flying" modules composed of various subsystems. Thus, a fractionated spacecraft might consist of one module providing power generation and storage, another module providing communications, another module providing the payload functions, and so on. Fractionated spacecraft are of particular interest for earth imaging missions because of their ability to physically decouple pointing-intensive payloads from subsystems not requiring such strict pointing. This in turn may enable fractionated spacecraft to have a lower life cycle cost and longer mission lifetime relative to a comparable monolithic spacecraft, for a given performance level. In this research, fractionated architectures were assessed using a custom-built spacecraft model, and their respective life cycle costs were quantified using a stochastic life cycle simulation and parametric model. Results demonstrate that, relative to a comparable monolithic spacecraft, fractionated spacecraft can have a stronger value proposition through the attainment of a lesser life cycle cost for an equal if not longer mission lifetime than comparable monoliths, for high-resolution earth imaging missions.
