Optical head access and protective hood restoration

ESV-S06-SOP-01 · Earth observation satellite · model v3 · 12 steps

Practise accessing the optical head without disturbing its lens, harness or nearby service interfaces. Resolve a cover-selection error and restore the assembly to its protected baseline.

Concept-model training and authoring specification. Real hardware operations require the programme owner’s approved procedure and engineering limits.

Before the exercise

Use the unpowered Earth-observation satellite on its support frame. Supply a no-contact zone for the optical surface, an authored hood parking pose and the access-cover sequence. Real cleanliness classes, alignment limits and handling methods require the programme procedure.

1 Identify the instrument and support

Model labels: support, bus, optics

Select the support frame, spacecraft bus and optical head, then save the baseline pose and model revision.

Check: The optical task must not move the independent support assembly.

2 Set the protected work state

Model labels: optics.lens, optics.rim, optics.hood

Mark the lens as a no-contact surface and establish the scenario isolation and controlled-access state.

Check: The learner acknowledges the protected surface before any cover movement.

3 Trace the instrument harness

Model labels: optics.harness, harness.left, harness.right

Identify the optical harness and distinguish it from the bus side routes. Save the authored route used by this exercise.

Check: Selecting a bus harness as the instrument connection is rejected.

4 Resolve the cover mismatch

Model labels: hatch, optics.hood, optics.band

Present an instruction pointing to the bus hatch rather than the optical hood. Place a hold and identify the intended cover.

Check: Opening the unrelated hatch after the mismatch is a critical error.

5 Prepare the hood removal path

Model labels: optics.hood, optics.rim, optics.harness

Preview the authored hood translation and its clearance from the rim and harness. Confirm the parked location.

Check: The path must remain outside the configured optical no-contact zone.

6 Remove and park the hood

Model labels: optics.hood, optics.band, optics

Release the exercise retention state and move the hood into its parked pose while keeping the optical head fixed.

Check: Record the correct hood identity, path and parked state.

7 Expose the access context

Model labels: optics.liner, optics.lens, optics.patch

Identify the liner, lens and patch surfaces now accessible. Compare them with the supplied reference condition card.

Check: A condition decision must cite the card or observed geometry, not invented internals.

8 Restore the optical harness route

Model labels: optics.harness, harness.rear.left, junction.rear

Use the scenario route reference to correct a displaced optical harness segment without changing the rear bus junction.

Check: The target route is restored and the protected junction remains unchanged.

9 Prepare the hood for refit

Model labels: optics.hood, optics.rim, optics.band

Return the hood from its parked pose to the authored alignment point and compare orientation with the baseline.

Check: A reversed or incomplete alignment prevents the seating action.

10 Seat and retain the hood

Model labels: optics.hood, optics.band, optics.rim

Move the hood into its saved seated pose and restore the simulation retention state. Keep the lens untouched.

Check: Assess seated pose and retention state against declared authoring criteria.

11 Verify the surrounding configuration

Model labels: optics.harness, connectors.left, connectors.right, hatch

Confirm that the optical route, side connectors and unrelated hatch remain in the intended final states.

Check: The comparison must identify both the corrected route and unchanged interfaces.

12 Hand over the protected instrument

Model labels: optics, optics.hood, optics.lens, support

Submit the cover-selection recovery, final pose comparison and evidence of the protected optical surface.

Check: Complete only when access is closed and no unresolved protection hold remains.

Assessment and completion

Score object identification 20, optical protection 25, cover-discrepancy recovery 20, route and pose restoration 20 and evidence 15. Contact with the protected lens, moving the wrong hatch or unsupported retention assumptions triggers a stop.

Authoring and headless handoff

Author the hood as a declared detachable cover unless a verified mechanism is supplied. Use separate condition cards and protected envelopes. This exercise does not demonstrate optical performance, cleanliness certification or alignment accuracy; those require independent records.

Reuse the exact GLB and part identifiers. Verify the supported Genesis import and binding path before generation. These are procedure specifications; they do not claim a completed Genesis run.
