Abstract

The deployable reflector antenna consists of 24 unit main reflectors, and is mounted on a launch vehicle in a folded state. This satellite reaches the operating orbit and the antenna of satellite is deployed, and performs a mission. The deployable reflector antenna has the advantage of reduce the storage volume of payload of launch vehicle, allowing large space structures to be mounted in the limited storage space of the launch vehicle. In this paper, structural analysis was performed on the main reflector constituting the deployable reflector antenna, and through this, the initial conceptual design was performed. Lightweight composite main reflector was designed by applying a carbon fiber composite and honeycomb core. The laminate pattern and shape were selected as design variables and a design that satisfies the operation conditions was derived. Then, the performance of the lightweight composite reflector antenna was analyzed by performing detailed structural analysis on modal analysis, quasi-static, thermal gradient, and dynamic behavior.


전개형 반사판 안테나는 단위 구조물 형태의 반사판이 접힌 상태로 수납되어 발사체에 탑재된 후, 운용 궤도에 도달 및 전개되어 임무를 수행하는 위성체이다. 전개형 반사판 안테나는 수납 부피를 줄일 수 있어 발사체의 제한적 수납공간에 대형 우주 구조물을 탑재시킬 수 있으며, 경량소재를 적용할 경우 발사 및 운용 성능 향상에 용이한 장점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 전개형 반사판 안테나를 구성하는 주반사판에 대해 강성 및 강도 등의 구조적 분석을 통해 초기 개념설계를 수행하였다. 탄소섬유 복합재 및 허니콤 코어를 적용하여 경량 복합재 주반사판을 설계하였으며, 적층 패턴 및 형상을 설계 변수로 운용조건에 적합한 주반사판 설계안을 도출하였다. 이후 모드(Modal analysis), 준정적(Quasi-static), 열 구배(Thermal gradient) 및 동적(Dynamic) 거동에 대한 상세 구조해석을 수행하여 경량 복합재 반사판 안테나의 성능을 분석하였다
