% Create masses for a satellite. You pass in the subsystem name and the BOL spacecraft mass. The data is based on the Intelsat V satellite and other communications satellites. Subsystem param --------- ----- 'acs' 'thermal' 'propulsion insertion' fuel mass 'propulsion rcs' life in years 'structure' 'power' communications system power (W) 'electrical integration' 'mechanical integration' 'payload' communications system power (W) As shown in the built-in demo, you need to iterate on the function as you build up the satellite mass. Since version 10. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Form: m = SatelliteSubsystemMass( subsystem, mSc, param ) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ Inputs ------ subsystem (1,:) Subsystem name mSc (1,1) Beginning of life mass (kg) param (1,1) Insertion fuel mass, life in years or comm power ------- Outputs ------- m (1,1) Mass (kg) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: Agrawal, B. ,"Design of Geosynchronous Spacecraft," Prentice-Hall, 1986. --------------------------------------------------------------------------
