The development of bus-structure for the further GEO satellite is described. The target of the further GEO satellite is to be the satellite with 8 kW solar generation, 3650 kg launch weight, and sufficiently global competitiveness on the next decade. The target weight of the bus-structure is lower than 215 kg (lower than 5.9 % of launch weight). The design and mechanical tests of the bus structure have been successfully completed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
