Abstract

In earth orbit, a great number of orbital debris move around in extremely high velocity, and they become serious threats to satellites. In this study, smoothed particle hydrodynamics(SPH) is used to analyze the damage of a low earth orbit satellite due to the hypervelocity impact with orbital debris. The damage of honeycomb sandwich panel(HC/SP) used for walls of a satellite is analyzed with respect to impact velocities. For the additional analysis to examine the safety of interior components of the satellite, an attached electronic box and an offset electronic box are considered. As a result of the analysis considering the orbital debris having a probability of collision more than 2% at altitude of 685km, it is shown that the HC/SP can be perforated but only small craters are formed on both the attached electronic box and the offset electronic box.

지구궤도 상에는 무수히 많은 우주파편(Orbital debris)이 존재하며 매우 높은 속도로 선회하고 있기 때문에 정상가동중인 인공위성과 충돌 시 위성구조체에 치명적인 손상을 일으킬 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 입자완화유체동역학(Smoothed particle hydrodynamics, SPH)을 이용하여 우주파편과의 초고속충돌로 인해 발생 가능한 저궤도 위성구조체의 손상분석을 수행하였다. 위성구조체의 본체 패널(Panel)로 사용되는 허니콤샌드위치패널(Honeycomb sandwich panel, HC/SP)에 대해 충돌속도에 따른 손상분석을 수행하였으며 위성구조체 내부부품의 안전성 분석을 위해 전자박스가 HC/SP에 직접 부착된 경우와 10cm 오프셋 된 경우에 대한 초고속충돌해석 및 손상분석을 수행하였다. 고도 685km의 저궤도에서 2% 정도의 충돌확률을 갖는 우주파편들을 고려할 때, HC/SP 자체에 관통이 발생하는 것으로 나타났으며 부착형 전자박스의 경우와 오프셋형 전자박스의 경우에는 전자박스에 관통이 발생하지 않고 미소 크레이터(Crater)만 발생되는 것으로 나타났다.
