Integration and Testing of the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Attitude Control System
AERO '11 Proceedings of the 2011 IEEE Aerospace Conference（2011）
Abstract
Prior to the successful launch of the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) on June 18, 2009, the Attitude Control System (ACS) team completed numerous Integration and Testing (I&T) tests on each hardware component in ever more flight like environments. 12The ACS utilizes a select group of attitude sensors and actuators. This paper will chronicle the evolutionary steps taken to verify each component was constantly ready for flight as well as providing invaluable trending experience with the actual hardware. The paper will include a discussion of each ACS hardware component, lessons learned of the various stages of I&T, a discussion of the challenges that are unique to the LRO project, as well as a discussion of work for future missions to consider as part of their I&T plan
