Mr marco scardino06/10/2020, 14:45thermal analysis and software tools
Thermal analyses are performed throughout the entire life cycle of a space project, from the first rough architecture trade-offs to the last in-orbit simulations.

In general, they consist in building a more or less complex thermal model, running different sizing cases and post-treating them. These activities are conducted by “thermal analysts” who are specialized in the different pre-post and... -

“Development of a new software tool for thermal analysis of satellite harnesses”
• Ewin Bloem (Royal Netherland Aerospace Centre), edwin.bloem@nlr.nl
• Roel van Benthem (Royal Netherland Aerospace Centre), roel.van.benthem@nlr.nlThe harness sizing for space applications is defined by derating rules that are specified in international standards such as the ECSS-Q-ST-30-11C Rev 1 (ESA,...

A major focus of ESATAN-TMS development this year has been on providing facilities within Workbench to further... -
Mr Jean-Frederic Ruel (Maya HTT)06/10/2020, 16:30thermal analysis and software tools
During this presentation, we will compare and evaluate the different workflows available in Simcenter 3D PCB Exchange and Simcenter 3D Space System Thermal for printed circuit board assembly analysis in the context of spacecraft thermal design. Component reliability is heavily dependent on temperature and so PCA thermal design and simulation is an important aspect of spacecraft development....

Vincent Vadez (DOREA)06/10/2020, 17:00thermal analysis and software tools
There are current necessities of real-time simulation and satellites model exchanges with launchers. We are developping a geometrical model reduction (currently manualy done in the industry) complementary with a TMM reduction module (done by tools such as TMRT). A budget of faces for GMM is almost always imposed (Launcher or DSS constraints). The presented model reduction tool is physics...

14. Thermal-hydraulic design and analysis of the PLATO thermal-vacuum optical calibration experimentAshraf Al-Bahlawan07/10/2020, 09:00thermal analysis and software tools
The thermal-hydraulic design and analysis of the PLATO focal plane assembly (FPA) and normal-front end electronics (N-FEE) thermal-vacuum calibration experiment is presented. Optical calibration of the instrument, which consists of a 300mm diameter Ti-6Al-4V FPA with 4xCCDs, connecting via flex-cables to the 15W N-FEE, requires two separate thermal control loops with temperature ranges of 150K...

Dr Frank Bodendieck (OHB System AG)07/10/2020, 09:30thermal analysis and software tools
The Lunar Orbital Platform-Gateway (LOP-G) space station is one key element of the NASA Artemis Program, which has the goal to bring humans back to the moon by 2024 and to provide a sustainable infrastructure for future missions. One of the LOP-G modules is the European System Providing Refuelling, Infrastructure and Telecommunications (ESPRIT) module, which contains, among others, the xenon...

In the past year, two Systema versions have been issued. First Systema 483P2 has been released last May 2020 to address some issues signalled by users.
Go to contribution page
Then the version of Systema-Thermica V4.9.0 was released and available to users in fall 2020. This new version embeds features presented during the last edition of ESTEW, such as the Orekit library for enhanced accuracy of in-orbit... -
Lilian Govone (ADS Toulouse)07/10/2020, 15:15thermal analysis and software tools
The Long-Term Support version of Systema-Thermica V4.8.3 was released last year. As day-to-day users, we conducted an extensive validation campaign based on various realistic use cases including both Telecom and Observation satellites/instruments.
Go to contribution page
First, the presentation will focus on this validation campaign implementation including the definition of the use cases, the validation criterion... -
Mr Martin Henriquez Wehr (Fraunhofer EMI, University of Stuttgart)08/10/2020, 09:00thermal analysis and software tools
To prevent thermal induced breakdown, thermal modelling is a crucial task during each design phase of a new space mission. Monte Carlo ray tracing, while computationally demanding, is usually the go-to method to simulate thermal energy transfer. State of the art thermal modelling suites, such as ESATAN-TMS, usually rely on a CPU-based implementation of Monte Carlo ray tracing.

Mr Matthew Vaughan (ESA)08/10/2020, 11:30thermal design (for platforms, instruments etc.)
EnVision is one of the three candidates for ESA's next medium class mission with the aim to explore the link between geological activity and the Venusian atmosphere. The mission consists of a suite of instruments to probe various layers of the Venus atmosphere, surface and sub-surface.
The topic of this presentation is a preliminary thermal study for the VenSpec-H instrument developed by...
