Reliability Analysis of Deployment Mechanism of Solar Arrays

Abstract:

This paper contraposed the reliability analysis of deployment mechanism of solar arrays. First, the configuration and function of solar arrays were described briefly. According to the deploying principle of mechanism, the model of the reliability was established in order to make the calculation and analysis of structural reliability. There was some propose to improve the reliability of the system according to the weakness from the analysis. Secondly, from two aspects of static torque margin and torque, the motor function reliability analysis of deployment mechanism of solar arrays was developed
