Thermal Control: Thermal Control
- Malgorzata Solyga
The current set of cold plates on the ESA Columbus laboratory module of the International Space Station have their origin in the cold plates that were developed for Spacelab and also used for the European Retrievable Carrier, Eureca. Considering the very challenging requirements on all subsystems to meet stringent mass targets for human exploration missions beyond LEO, there is a strong...
With the miniaturization of space-borne sensors and the introduction of small propulsion modules, more powerful payloads are anticipated to be used in small satellites. Therefore, new thermal concepts are required to cope with the increasing thermal dissipation and the resulting negative effects. This presentations shows a new thermal control concept to thermally standardize small satellites...
