Chikwata cheNASA cheLangley Research Center pamwe chete nevamwe vanobva kuNASA's Ames Research Center, Nano Avionics, uye Santa Clara University's Robotics Systems Laboratory vari kugadzira basa reAdvanced Composite Solar Sail System (ACS3). Simba remasail ezuva rinoreruka rinogona kushandiswa uye sisitimu yemasolar sail, ndiko kuti, kekutanga simba remasail ezuva rinoshandiswa pakufamba netsoka.
Sisitimu iyi inofambiswa nesimba rezuva uye inogona kutsiva maroketi anofambisa zvinhu uye masisitimu emagetsi anofambisa zvinhu. Kuvimba nezuva kunopa sarudzo dzingave dzisingagoneke pakugadzira chitundumuseremusere.
Boom iyi inogadzirwa neCubeSat ine mayuniti gumi nemaviri (12U), nano-satellite inodhura zvishoma ine 23 cm x 34 cm chete. Kana tichienzanisa neboom yesimbi inogona kushandiswa, boom yeACS3 yakareruka ne75%, uye kushanduka kwekupisa kana yapiswa kunoderedzwa ne100 ka.
Kana yasvika muchadenga, CubeSat inokurumidza kuisa solar array uye kuisa composite boom, izvo zvinongotora maminetsi makumi maviri kusvika makumi matatu chete. Skweya yesimbi yakagadzirwa nepolymer inochinjika yakasimbiswa ne carbon fiber uye yakareba mamita mapfumbamwe kumativi ese. Iyi composite midziyo yakakodzera mabasa nekuti inogona kupetwa kuti ichengetwe zvishoma, asi ichiri kuchengetedza simba uye inodzivirira kukotama kana kukanganiswa kana yasangana nekuchinja kwetembiricha. Kamera iri mundege icharekodha chimiro uye kurongeka kweseya yakatumirwa kuti iongororwe.
Tekinoroji yakagadzirwa kuti pave nekukura kwakawanda kwerwendo rweACS3 inogona kuwedzerwa kusvika kurwendo rwemangwana rwekufamba netsoka rwezuva rwemamita mazana mashanu emasekori, uye vaongorori vari kushanda kugadzira mafambiro ezuva ane saizi inosvika 2,000 emamita emasekori.
Zvinangwa zvebasa iri zvinosanganisira kuunganidza maseiri zvakanaka uye kuisa ma "composite booms" mu "low orbit" kuti vaongorore chimiro uye kushanda kwemaseiri, uye kuunganidza data pamusoro pekushanda kwemaseiri kuti vape ruzivo rwekuvandudza masisitimu makuru emangwana.
Masayendisiti anotarisira kuunganidza data kubva kuACS3 mission kuti vagadzire masisitimu emangwana anogona kushandiswa pakutaurirana kwemabasa ekutsvaga vanhu, masaiti ekunyevera nezvemamiriro ekunze muchadenga, uye mabasa ekuongorora asteroid.
