Mr Arne te Nijenhuis (NLR - Royal Netherlands Aerospace Centre)09/10/2019, 14:00thermal technologies and methodologies related to small satellites and CubeSats
With the CubeSat market expanding and with CubeSats entering the high-performance domain (to 6U, 12U and 16U) the thermal problems of CubeSats get more prominent. A result of the shift towards high-performance missions leads to stricter thermal requirements as the power density increases and the usual low cost thermal design strategies appear insufficient.
An innovative modular thermal...

Dr Colin Butler (University of Limerick)09/10/2019, 15:00thermal technologies and methodologies related to small satellites and CubeSats
The increasing trend towards higher power electronics and the rapid growth of the smallsat industry has led to increased heat dissipation requirements for spacecraft thermal control systems. In this study, an investigation of a trihedral geometry is performed in order to determine its potential as an effective radiator panel for passive thermal management. This form aims to minimise the...

Mr Michael Maibaum (German Aerospace Center)09/10/2019, 15:30thermal analysis and software tools
Landing on small bodies like asteroids and comets is an extreme challenging operation. The unknown thermal and physical properties of the surface after a multi-annual journey in deep space require a high degree of flexibility for operations planning and execution during the landing and consecutive on-surface mission phases.
