Concepts for the Actuation System of the Spacecraft Technology Vehicle SHEFEX 2

general layout

Four actuation systems deflect the triangle-shaped fins on the cylindrical structure. Each actuation system consists of an actuator (orange) and an electronic box (green). Behind the actuators there is the power supply by battery packs.

The task was to develop a reasonable concept based on broad aerodynamic assumptions. We started with our experience for each component and ended with realistic mass and power consumption balance. These results formed the design specification.
