Abstract

Magnetic cleanliness is essential for small satellites carrying sensitive payloads such as magnetometers and particle detectors. Reaction wheel assemblies (RWAs) represent a primary source of stray magnetic fields, requiring effective shielding under strict mass and volume constraints. This study uses three-dimensional finite element analysis (FEM) in ANSYS Maxwell to evaluate the shielding effectiveness (SE) of high-permeability alloys (Mu-metal and Permalloy 80) and low-carbon steels (AISI 1008/1010) at thicknesses of 1–3 mm, with aluminum 6061-T6 as a non-magnetic baseline, within a cylindrical RWA enclosure geometry. Results reveal a critical design trade-off: High-permeability alloys provide superior attenuation (>65 dB at 100 mm; residual field <150 nT) and high mass efficiency (>700 dB/kg) but saturate at low flux density (0.8 T) and are costly. Low-carbon steels offer moderate SE (34–40 dB) with far higher saturation tolerance (2.2 T), structural robustness, and lower cost. Thickness scaling shows diminishing returns beyond 2 mm for high-permeability materials, whereas steels improve more linearly. Rather than proposing a new shielding concept, this study applies an integrated FEM-based evaluation approach for small satellite platforms to consistently assess shielding effectiveness, nonlinear saturation behavior, thickness scaling, and mass efficiency of candidate materials within a reaction-wheel-representative geometry under identical boundary conditions.

Abstract

Indonesia’s tropical environment requires advanced rainfall monitoring systems to strengthen disaster early warning capabilities. However, the absence of a dedicated national standard for rain radar has limited domestic technology growth and interoperability. This study develops a framework for the Indonesian National Standard (SNI) for rain radar by integrating the framework for analysis, comparison, and testing of standards (FACTS) with structural equation modeling (SEM). Stakeholder requirements were systematically analyzed and translated into technical specifications, benchmarked against International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and World Meteorological Organization (WMO) standards, and statistically validated. SEM results indicate that performance parameters (β =0.70) and testing methods (β =0.76) are the most influential components of the framework. The validated model establishes five essential domains—system specifications, testing procedures, calibration and maintenance, installation criteria, and system control. The resulting FACTS-SEM framework provides a robust, evidence-based foundation for developing and validating meteorological instrumentation standards suited to Indonesia’s tropical context.
