Cоpyrighted Mаteriаl – Nоt fоr Posting Online or for Distribution The totаl (EM average power) flux from the Sun is constant and called luminosity LS. The luminosity of the Sun is 3.846 × 1026 W. EM energy reaching Earth from the Sun has an average power density PSE = 1.367 kW/m2. Earth is at 149,597,870 km (~1.496 x 108 km = 149.6 million km) from the Sun, and this distance is also called 1 AU (1 astronomical unit). A GEO (Geostationary Earth Orbit) satellite carrying a transmitter for TV broadcasting utilizes such solar energy to power all its instrumentation, telemetry (guidance, navigation and control – GN&C) and communications. Assume that the satellite geostationary orbit is such that the satellite is always facing the Sun to receive power, without black-outs. The total prime power required for the satellite is [a] kW. What is the magnitude of the magnetic field intensity incident on the Earth satellite solar cells? (2pts) What’s the area of the required solar panel / cell arrays to ensure full functionality of the Earth satellite assuming a cell efficiency of [b]%? (3 pts) What would be the size of the solar panel / cell array if the same satellite would be modified to carry out communication and scientific data relay operations from Mars, assuming the same total prime power of [a] kW is still enough to operate all electronics? Assume the same cell efficiency of [b]%. Mars is 2.279 x 108 km (= 227.9 million km = ~ 1.52 AU) from the Sun. The satellite will be placed on a Mars orbit with an antenna directed towards Mars’s surface for communicating with ground rovers and another one directed towards Earth for data relay. Assume solar panels are oriented toward the Sun at all time. (3 pts) What is the magnitude of the electric field intensity incident on the solar cells on Mars? (2pts) Hint: Use the definition of Poynting’s vector to find the power density (in W/m2) in terms of the E-field or H-field magnitude. Also remember the definition of total flux of a vector field as defined in Chapter 2.
