thermal design (for platforms, instruments etc.)

The SCA instrument on MetOp-SG SatB is a 6 beam pulsed real aperture C-band (5.355 GHz) radar in a lambda shaped antenna configuration that measures the Earth’s surface backscatter for each resolution cell from three different directions. The measured backscatter are transferred to wind vectors / soil moisture etc. via Geophysical Model Functions and are used to support Numerical Weather...

48. Thermal design and thermal verification tests of the Solar Orbiter Heat Shield

Mr Claudio Damasio (ESA/ESTEC)

thermal design (for platforms, instruments etc.)

Solar Orbiter is the next solar-heliospheric mission in the ESA Science Directorate. The mission will provide the next major step forward in the exploration of the Sun and the heliosphere investigating many of the fundamental problems in solar and heliospheric science. One of the main design drivers for Solar Orbiter is the thermal environment, determined by a total irradiance of 13 solar...

42. Thermal Design, Analysis and Validation Plan of the Thermal Architecture for the SMILE Satellite Payload Module

Lorena Del Amo Martin (Airbus)

thermal design (for platforms, instruments etc.)

SMILE (Solar wind Magnetosphere Ionosphere Link Explorer) is a collaborative science mission for the investigation of the solar wind interaction with Earth magnetosphere in order to further understand the Sun-Earth connection. SMILE is a joint science mission between European Space Agency (ESA) and the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) for which Phase CD activities are currently...

61. The ATHENA Spacecraft - Thermal Design aspects

Mr Moritz Branco (ESA)

thermal design (for platforms, instruments etc.)

The ATHENA Spacecraft is the next ESA Science Large class mission. It is a 7-ton spacecraft with two instruments and a 12 meters-long focal length, to be launched in 2031 by Ariane 6, and it will achieve unprecedented X-ray imaging and spectroscopic capabilities, for the benefit of High Energy Astrophysics.
A brief introduction to the Spacecraft and mission is presented, followed by a...

50. Flexible External Insulation (FEI) at ArianeGroup Bremen Development - Qualification and Application

Mrs Nihan Özerson-Yücel (ArianeGroup)

09/10/2019, 14:30

thermal design (for platforms, instruments etc.)

ArianeGroup Bremen has started the development of Flexible External Insulation (FEI) already within the HERMES program in the eighties. In the meantime a complete FEI product family was developed and qualified which covers a temperature range from 300°C to 1100°C. The FEI with its excellent performance w.r.t. reusability, low mass, simple inspection and maintenance, is the favorable TPS for...

9. Development of Variable Emissivity Coating for Thermal Control

Jean-Paul Dudon (Thales Alenia Space)

thermal control technologies

For years the use of variable emissivity devices and coatings has been envisaged by the academic and industrials space actors. The aim is to overcome the drawback specific to constant thermo-optical coatings with regard to the variation of heat load during the mission and so to maximize the heat rejection capacity and to minimize the heating power budget. The most promising of these coatings...
