Evidence / methods and sources

Trace a claim to its inputs.

The evaluated configuration is VOLLEY-G5-ACR1. Geometry, motor/circuit behavior and orbital delivery use explicitly identified models and source files.

Motor / coupled model

Release and recovery share one energy account.

Coupled shot reference results showing the computed release and arrest histories.
Computed result · ACR1 coupled shot. Nominal modeled commands at 1, 2 and 3 m/s; declared assumptions and adverse cases stay with the source.
Computed shot energy ledger with component dissipation labels and units.
Computed result · same-revision electrical and mechanical accounting. No hardware efficiency measurement is inferred.

Extended engineering analyses

From native dynamics to first measurements.

Forty native elastic chassis modes and a normalized numerical mode field.
CalculiX model output · SD01 free-free bare-chassis modes. Mode shapes are normalized for display.
Native payload release-speed and angular-rate histories for nominal and perturbed local contact cases.
MuJoCo model output · local departure/contact sensitivities. Contact parameters are declared model inputs.

Thermal operating envelope

CAD-based radiation, repeated duty, regulated host heat paths and a separately identified voltage-derated source.

Conditions and computed limits ↗

Lunar campaign

Finite host authority, release policy, covariance, native orbit lifetimes and independent engine-only disposal.

Campaign and resource study ↗

Subsequent Gen6 first-test packet: procedures, provisional fixture STEP and predeclared acceptance criteria ↗

These separately identified supplements preserve the accepted ACR1 core and ED1 document identities. Numerical output, proposed fixture geometry and physical measurements are distinct evidence classes.

26 October / mission supplement

One machine, different manifest sizes.

Two- and four-payload campaigns extend the retained twelve-payload reference: 28 finite-force candidates and 17 native Orekit replays, with full hardware mass retained.

Host propellant across two, four and twelve payloads for uniform and alternating target families at 5 N allocated authority.
Computed host propellant at 5 N allocated authority for two, four and twelve same-size 3U payloads. Full retained hardware is counted at every occupancy. The alternating family has no tested ACR1 pass at 1 N; blank points denote no tested pass, not zero fuel. These are numerical mission comparisons, not physical delivery accuracy.

Methods, full-state results, native replay and resource comparison ↗

Independent static solver comparison

The same chassis. A second solver.

The primary ANSYS bare-chassis result gives 0.286392 mm paired closure under matched 3.01048 kN opposed-patch loads: 0.143% above the CalculiX reference. Three mesh levels and 11,448 independently read primary samples accompany the comparison.

Native-result-derived paired closure field and the boundary profile compared with CalculiX.
ANSYS native-derived numerical data, plotted with Matplotlib; Y = 45 mm is the patch boundary. Matched linear-elastic bare-chassis model, not an assembled-hardware test.

Method boundary

Read each result in its declared model.

Geometry and mechanisms

Native solid geometry, nominal motion, interface retention and declared analytical sizing. Reference actuator envelopes and allocations are identified in the source; manufacturing and instrumented hardware correlation follow.

Motor and release

Finite geometry and coupled computational source/motion models. The 1–3 m/s command band is the supported study range; no hardware rating or flight capability is asserted.

Orbital delivery

Fixed-axis J2 point masses, synthetic preplanned full-state targets, constant inertial host force and Isp 220 s. Drag, higher gravity, attitude/plume allocation, navigation and finite exit geometry are outside the mission model.

Numerical agreement

Independent replay and step refinement assess numerical consistency. They do not establish physical delivery accuracy, measured reliability or payload compatibility.

Installed allocation

149.55672 kg computed CAD mass + 7 kg power/control allowance = 156.55672 kg retained device allocation; + 48 kg payloads = 204.55672 kg loaded device. The generic wet host is 500 kg including its 20 kg fuel once, so the mission begins at 704.55672 kg.
