Satellite Technology Center – LAPAN would develop a constellation of 9 communication satellites in a low equatorial orbit. These satellites would perform as data collection platforms for many sensors that spread across the Indonesian territory. The data from the sensors will be downlink to Indonesia’s ground stations in real-time. This research aims to analyze the power budget of those satellites to decide how many solar panels and batteries are required to perform their mission. The method in this research began by calculating the power requirements of each mission per orbit period to estimate power consumption and calculate the power generated by the solar panels. The results of these calculations will be implemented to the power system design to find the satellite solar cells/ panels arrangement and battery capacity allocation. To minimize the development time and cost, the solar array design in this study considers the utilization of previous solar panel design of LAPAN-A series satellites as a design constraint. This study shows the configuration of 3 body-mounted solar panels and 2 deployable solar panels could support the mission operation of communication satellite in the low equatorial orbit. For energy storage, these satellites should be equipped with 28 V Li-ion in the 8Sx3P configuration.

An airborne collision between civil Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and manned aircraft is a potential threat to aircraft operation safety. In this paper, the UAV collision test was performed on a commuter aircraft wing section to investigate the dynamic response of this primary operation component. The projectile was a 735 g drone named ‘Mavic’. Explicit dynamic code ABAQUS was employed to simulate the collision process based on the difference of collision scenarios to assess the hazard. The results showed that 735 g drone impact at the aircraft maximum approach flap and cruising speed could cause some damage on the wing front spar and the situation is more serious than 910 g bird strike in which the hardness of drone components rather than kinetic energy is a decisive factor. The lithium-ion battery penetrated the airframe which may be a potential source of ignition.

Wire rope insulator or steel wire rope insulator has applications for vibration isolation in equipment and structures in many industrial machinery. Steel wire rope insulators can also be used as suitable equipment to dampen vibrations in rocket loads. The disturbance acceleration as the excitation caused by the combustion process on the rocket can cause a vibration with a large amplitude which results in damage to the rocket's payload structure and the electronic equipment on the rocket's payload cannot work as desired. Based on the experience of electronic equipment, it will be damaged if the disturbance acceleration of 3 g acting on the rocket is not reduced, for this reason a vibration damping device is designed, the apparatus consists of several stainless steel wire ropes tied between two parallel binders arranged in such a way as to provides a damping effect on the rocket's payload. A wire rope insulator consists of several stainless steel wire ropes tied between two parallel straps. One application of this type of wire rope insulator is to isolate the vibrations that occur in the rocket, so that it does not interfere with the performance of the electronic equipment on the rocket's payload. Electronic equipment is used to determine the position of the rocket and its stability. In this study, the wire rope material used is stainless steel with syield = 350 e+6 N / m2 with a diameter of d = 3 mm. The research objective of the vibratory damper of wire rope insulators was to determine the magnitude of the transmissibility of the ruffler during and after resonance. Transmissibility (TR) is the ratio of the force transmitted to the disturbing or excitation force. The results of the research on a damper with a disturbance acceleration of 3 g at resonance, obtained the transmissibility value (TR) = 2.54, the spring stiffness k = 200537.3 N/m and the damping coefficient c = 331.5 N/m/sec, then after conditions  obtained transmissibility (TR) <1 This shows that the damper with steel wire isolator is good enough to dampen vibrations in the RX 200 rocket payload.

The thermal protector materials of the rocket’s motor are made by a wet lay-up manufacturing process. Since the fiber mass fraction of the product is low, several experiments were conducted to solve this problem including changing the type of the epoxy resin and selecting the most suitable bleeder schedule. Bleeder cloth application results in increasing the fiber mass fraction. The fiber mass fraction of thermal protector material manufactured by hand lay-up can reach a maximum of 56,78%, whereas vacuum bagging can reach a maximum of 66,43%. Peel ply and breather fabric combination are the best bleeder schedule for the hand lay-up method meanwhile perforated release film and breather fabric are the best bleeders for the vacuum bagging method. Composite surface topography obtained from peel ply is visible on the surface. The imprints of the nylon peel ply weave are visible through SEM analysis. Meanwhile, the surface topography obtained from the perforated release film is not visible. The vacuum bagging method helped reduce the number of voids and ductile polymer fractures from the composite surface. This paper recommends peel ply usage in the thermal protector manufacturing process to replace the sanding or filling method that the author use nowadays.

This paper's objective was to determine the dynamic response of a 19 passenger commuter aircraft windshield to impact angle variations. The phenomenon was performed using the finite element method, and the smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) was chosen as a method for modeling bird material. The elastic-plastic polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) material with the maximum principal strain failure criterion was used to model the windshield's dynamic response. The variation of the impact angle consists of 15°, 0°, -8°, and -15°, which are measured of the longitudinal axis of the aircraft. The simulation result showed that the impact angle that causes the windshield's dynamic response in the elastic, plastic deformation, and the greatest failure is the angle -15°. The upper end of the windshield (fixed) is the weakest part due to the stress concentration.

A numerical predictive tool of flow induced noise generated by deployed high-lift devices of commuter aircraft is presented in this paper. The aircraft high-lift devices are consisting of vane and flap component. The aim of this study is to identify the sources of flow induced noise on the wing and flap cross-section of the aircraft. This study is investigated only two-dimensional effects and two configuration of flap deflection. A numerical computation is carried out using a CFD software with Large Eddy Simulation fluid turbulence model and Ffowcs-Williams & Hawkings analogy for acoustic prediction. Several sound receivers have been installed on far-field and near-field region of the wing-vane-flap cross-section of aircraft to measure the sound spectra. It has been identified that on the cavity of wing and vane-flap cross-section has the highest sound pressure level than another region. There is a vortical separation and shear layer which is contributed to the generation of sound emission downward the cross-section

In this paper, the authors present an approach of reliability analysis to analyze the landing gear control and warning system, which is planned to be installed on LSA-02 aircraft. The reliability analysis will use fault tree analysis as starting point to investigate what is the top undesired event which might occur in this system. The construction of causal tree analysis offers a framework privileged to the deductive analysis, which consists of seeking the various possible combinations of events, leading to the occurrence of a top undesired event. The fault tree analysis shows that the top undesired event for this system is when the landing gear is commanded to extended, the system fails to extend the landing gear, and warning system is failed to operate.

In this research, experimental design and testing of the vibration test fixture were carried out. The designed vibration test fixture is used to test the FCP, which is one of the components of avionics in aircraft. FCP vibration testing is carried out using the DO-160 test standard. The test has a test frequency range from 5 to 500 Hz. Therefore, the vibration test fixture must have a natural frequency above 600 Hz. The vibration test fixture is designed using a T-type model with modifications to get optimal results. The raw material used to make the test fixture is aluminum. The test fixture has a natural frequency value above 500 Hz, and both were tested using FEM simulation and experimental tests. Therefore, the vibration test fixture that is made meets the requirements for vibration testing on FCP. The difference in the natural frequency value from the FEM simulation and experimental test results on the vibration test fixture is 14.61% on the Z-axis, 10.61% on the X-axis, and 9.74 on the Y-axis.
