rotates the wing about the spacecraft pitch axis to maintain sun pointing; and
transfers power, control, and telemetry signals across slip rings at the rotary
interface. Two SATTDE units are provided for redundancy.
The SATTDE: (1) processes array and trim tab encoder analog signals to derive
position telemetry; (2) provides power to drive the redundantly wound stepper
motor that rotates the array; and (3) drives the redundant motors that position the
trim tab assembly. The trim tab compensates for the large, seasonally varying,
inertial roll, solar pressure torque unbalance between the solar array and solar
sail. The tab position is varied in a slow sinusoidal sequence over a years span to
also compensate for small changes in torque due to the solar flux and sun
declination. A higher slew rate can be selected, by ground command, to help set
the desired initial trim tab position. Magnetic torquer coils, in conjunction with
the momentum bias system, provide desaturation of the angular momentum
caused by slowly varying roll/yaw torques due to higher order solar radiation
pressure.

higher azimuthal pointing accuracy, the electronics design incorporates the ability to
accept control signals derived from a high-accuracy analog sun sensor, providing
closed-loop sun pointing in both axes. The XRP electronics is also able to multiplex
telemetry parameters of the yoke-mounted SEM equipment, housekeeping, and
position data, routing it to the spacecraft telemetry and command subsystem via slip
rings in the SADA.
