3 FUNCTIONAL AND PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS

3.1 Component Function

XST-13//R

The tank is a pressure vessel used for the storage of high pressure Xenon. Xenon from the tank is supplied via a pressure regulator to the electric thrusters for the duration of the spacecraft mission.

XST-14//R

The tank shall have two ports, one located at either end of the tank. Tank pressurisation, depressurisation and Xenon delivery shall be via these ports.

The tank maximum temperature on ground, during launch and during initial flight operations is limited to 55°C, to ensure the MEOP of 150 bar is not exceeded at maximum Xenon load. During the cruise to Mercury, the tank temperature is allowed to increase to 60°C as the Xenon load decreases (whilst staying within the 150 bar MEOP limit), as illustrated in Figure 1 below.

XST-1834//

The tank shall be tested over the temperature range up to 60°C (operational, corresponding to 70°C qualification); any exceptions to this are specifically detailed in this specification

3.2 Performance

XST-16//A,R

The equipment shall meet the requirements of this specification when mounted and restrained in the spacecraft as specified in Section 4.3.4.2.

XST-17//A,R

Working Media

Gaseous Xenon (to AD/2.2(f))

The equipment shall also be compatible with the following media:

Test Media

Gaseous Nitrogen (to AD/2.2(c))

Argon Gas (to AD/2.2(d))

Gaseous Helium (to AD/2.2(b))

XST-618//T,A

The use of Xenon simulants for testing of flight tanks is STRICTLY FORBIDDEN, unless the contractor can clearly demonstrate that any such simulant can be removed from the tank, and that it can be verified that there are no simulant traces after this removal.

XST-619//T,A,R

Processes for the tank cleaning and verification of tank cleanliness after use of simulants shall be subject to Customer approval, before simulants can be considered for use on any flight tanks.
