§
Test
and troubleshoot Flight Computer for spacecraft
o
Identified
the cause of a previous unverified failure on a spacecraft
computer that had failed in test on the ground.
§
Design
of an upgraded reaction wheel assembly (RWA) test equipment:
o
Remove
an HP-85 from the system and replace with Pentium IV computer as
control computer.
o
Modify
the original Program in HP BASIC with code in HT BASIC.
o
Integrate

o
Design
an X-Y plotter replacement for voltages -10 to +10V as the
X-Axis and -10V to +10V as the Y-Axis using an A/D Converter

§
Development
of an Electrical Test Procedure (ETP) to test Special Test
Equipment:
o
In
order to ensure that automated or manual test equipment is safe
to mate to a flight component, a test program is run.
This routine guarantees that the STE is safe to mate to
the flight component. In
addition, this operation will help eliminate pesky Unverified
Failures (UVFs) that can crop up when the test equipment is not
operating at its designed capacity.
§
Test
and troubleshoot of the TIROS Spacecraft simulator at the
Spacecraft Operations and Control Center (SOCC)
o
Troubleshoot
electronic board failures that prevented communication with
Wallops Is. Site.
§
Rebuild
of ancient Wire Wrap electronics boards:
o
FXO
Inc was able to capture the design of an electronics board and
rebuild two spare boards from the design.
There were obstacles to overcome here.
The main problem was finding obsolete components and
the equipment to program PAL and EPLD devices.
