Pulse tube-type spaceborne cryocooler is widely used to cool down the infrared sensor of observation satellites. However, such cryocooler also generates micro-vibration which is the one of main sources to seriously affect the image quality during its on-orbit operation. Therefore, to comply with the mission requirement of high resolution observation satellite, additional technical efforts have been required. In this study, we proposed a spaceborne cryocooler passive vibration isolator using SMA mesh washer, which guarantees the structural safety of both the micro-vibration disturbance source and itself under harsh launch vibration loads without an additional holding mechanism and the micro-vibration isolation performance on orbit environment. To verify the micro-vibration isolation performance of the proposed vibration isolator, we performed the micro-vibration isolation measurement test using the dedicated micro-vibration measurement device proposed in this study.

The on-board appendages of satellites with mechanical moving parts such as the fly-wheel, the control-moment gyro, the cryocooler, and the gimbal-type directional antenna can generate an undesirable micro-vibration disturbance, which is one of the main causes of the image-quality degradation that affects high-resolution observation satellites. Consequently, the isolation of the micro-vibration issue has always been considered as salient, and the micro-vibration is therefore the focus of this study wherein a complex system that can provide the dual functions of a guaranteed vibration-isolation performance and electrical energy harvesting is proposed. The vibration-isolation and energy-harvesting performances of the complex system are predicted through a numerical analysis based on the characteristics that are obtained from component-level tests. In addition, the effectiveness of the complex system that is proposed in this study is verified through an assembly-level functional-performance test.

Spaceborne cryocoolers produce undesirable micro-vibration disturbances during their on-orbit operation, which are a primary source of image-quality degradation for high-resolution observation satellites. Therefore, to comply with the strict mission requirement of high-quality image acquisition, micro-vibration disturbances induced by cooler operation have always been subjected to an isolation objective. However, in this study, we focused on the applicability of energy harvesting technology to generate electrical energy from micro-vibration energy of the cooler and investigated the feasibility of utilizing harvested energy as a power source to operate low-power-consumption devices such as micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) devices. A tuned mass damper (TMD)-type electromagnetic energy harvester combined with a conventional passive vibration isolator was proposed to achieve this objective. The system performs the dual functions of electrical energy generation and micro-vibration isolation. The effectiveness of the strategy was evaluated through numerical simulations.

우주용 냉각기는 관측위성의 적외선 검출기 초점면부의 극저온 냉각을 위해 적용되며, 궤도운용 시 단일 주파수 형태의 미소진동을 발생한다. 상기 미소진동은 관측위성의 영상품질을 저하시키는 주된 요인이며, 이에 따라 미소진동 절연이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 상기 우주용 냉각기의 미소진동 절연을 목적으로 별도의 발사구속장치 적용 없이도 발사진동 및 궤도 미소진동환경에 동시적용 가능한 적층형 블레이드 진동절연기를 제안하였다. 본 진동절연기에 적용된 블레이드는 얇은 금속 박판을 다층으로 적층하고 각 층 상호면에 점탄성 특성 부여가 가능한 테이프를 적용하여 발사환경에서의 피로 내구성 향상 및 고댐핑 특성 부여를 목적하였다. 제안된 진동절연기의 기본특성 확인을 위해 자유감쇠 시험을 실시하였으며, 인증수준에서의 발사진동 시험을 통해 설계유효성을 입증하였다.
