Department of Aeronautics & Astronautics 2
Modular Spacecraft Design
• Standardized, reconfigurable components
• Multiple de-coupled subsystems
• Each subsystem functions independently
except through the connections available
through one or more interface
• Ability to re-use common modules across
separate missions
Department of Aeronautics & Astronautics 3
SWARM Intro
• Modular spacecraft, which are capable of self-
assembly and reconfiguration while utilizing
wireless communication.
• Closely resemble an actual space system but
not designed for the space environment.
Department of Aeronautics & Astronautics 4
SWARM Modules Connected
~30’’
Department of Aeronautics & Astronautics 5
A Single SWARM Module
Department of Aeronautics & Astronautics 6
Common Components
• Structural Package/Containment (1)
• Power Supply and Distribution Bus (1)
• Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) (1)
• Metrology Sensors (4 sets)
• Interface (up to 4) More Detail…
Department of Aeronautics & Astronautics 7
Interface Requirements
•Autonomously Dock/Undock:
Assembled and reconfigured without human intervention.
Allowing the modules to perform complex docking maneuvers such as capturing a
tumbling satellite.
•Transfer Mechanical Loads:
Propulsion and ACS modules are able to control the translation and rotation of the entire
module cluster.
•Transfer Electrical Power:
A central power module could distribute power to the entire module cluster.
•Transfer Fluid:
Thermal Loads, Fuel
•Connection for Data and Communication:
Communication between modules is necessary for docking/undocking, transferring range
data, and general system control.
Department of Aeronautics & Astronautics 8
Interface Requirements
• Universal
• The over-all size should be minimized
• Mass production
• Non-professional machining
• Assembly and disassembly must be simple

Conclusions
• SWARM Modules - what they did/not show
• Interfaces seem to work well, though there
is future work to be done
Department of Aeronautics & Astronautics 18
Future/Present Work
• Pass fluid through interface
• Metrics, requirements, modeling &
analysis of modular/reconfigurable
spacecraft
• Optical docking sensor
