Description
In recent years, a focus of space exploration has shifted again to the surface of the Moon. There is a reborn interest of the study and utilization of the Moon. In this context, thermal engineers have to design space hardware for operation in the lunar environment. Detailed thermal analyses of hardware in the lunar environment requires complex thermal models and powerful software packages. This work aims to simplify and support the work of the thermal engineers in the preliminary phases of lunar mission thermal designs. Focusing on the Moon and with the objective of being user friendly, simple and reliable, this work is intended to allow the thermal engineers to perform an efficient thermal preliminary study in this environment.
