A Remote Seismometer Station for Titan: Power, Thermal Survival and Data Energy Budget

This study sizes the Titan surface system named in its title for operation in the Titan surface environment, and reports the result as SIMULATED, NOT MEASURED. The design is developed from stated physical relations and a shared environmental basis, and every performance figure is computed by the deposited script rather than asserted. Among the computed results are total station power of 56.4 watts, electronics enclosure heat leak of 48 watts, supply margin over total load of 28.6 watts. Mass and power budgets are assembled from components so that they can be audited, off-design behaviour and materials uncertainty are discussed openly, and the limits of the sizing are stated in full. The station is a civilian geophysics instrument that listens to Titan's interior through its ice shell; it is a peaceful scientific observatory with no application beyond basic research into the body's structure.
