As thermal components make an important constituent of the spacecraft, constant development and optimization of such parts is needed. Within the H-PERTS project, HPS-RO focused on developing High Performance Thermal Straps. These parts represent thermal management solution, offering a combination of mechanical decoupling and thermal transfer.
Because the main goal of HPS-RO was to enhance...
The presentation deals with the thermal design of a deployable reflector which is part of a spaceborne SAR payload.
The different sections and components of the payload will be presented and the approaches to deal with the challenges to their thermal design.
The design comprises for instance 3 different composite configurations with different resin systems and manufacturing processes to...
The physical return of samples from Mars has been a top priority of the international planetary science community for over a decade. A wide consensus is held on the fact that a mission which enables the analysis on Earth of samples returned from well-characterized sites on Mars would allow the greatest return for key scientific objectives, such as understanding the evolution of Mars climate...
The next generation magnetic spectrometer in space, AMS-100, is designed to be operated for at least ten years at the Sun-Earth Lagrange Point 2 [1]. Compared to existing experiments like AMS-02 on the ISS, it will improve the sensitivity for the observation of new phenomena in cosmic rays by at least a factor of 1000.
The magnet design for AMS-100 is based on high temperature superconductor...
The Lunar Gateway is a small, human-tended space station orbiting the Moon that will provide extensive capabilities to support Artemis campaign. Built with the international partnerships of ESA with NASA, CSA and JAXA, Gateway’s capabilities for supporting sustained exploration and research in deep space include docking ports for a variety of visiting spacecraft, space for crew to live and...
The presentation deals with the thermal design of the SAR Instrument of the ROSE-L Copernicus Mission.
The thermal design of a SAR instrument is very challenging for needing to be in line with a maximum possible heat discharge into space via radiator (often the same as the RF radiator) to keep the high dissipative Front End units in line with the requirements and at the same time, the heater...
The Mode Selector Mechanism (MSM) is a bi-stable cryo-actuator operated at 4.2 K developed by Centre Spatial de Liège. The MSM development started as part of the far -infrared spectrometer SAFARI on the ESA SPICA space telescope. It takes place now in the preparation and anticipation of next generation cryogenic missions.
The MSM is characterized by its ability to switch an optical part such...
SVOM (Space-based multi-band astronomical Variable Objects Monitor) mission objective is a thorough monitoring of Gamma Ray Burst (GRB) phenomena. Based on a collaboration between France (CNES: French Space Agency) and China (CNSA: China National Space Administration and CAS: Chinese Academy of Science), the SVOM payload includes four scientific instruments (ECLAIRs and MXT provided by CNES,...
SVOM (Space-based multi-band astronomical Variable Objects Monitor) is a mission developed within a Sino-French cooperation context and dedicated to the detection, localization and study of Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) and other high-energy transient phenomena.
Four scientific instruments (ECLAIRs and MXT provided by CNES: National French Space Agency, GRM and VT provided by CNSA: China National...
JUICE - JUpiter ICy moons Explorer - is the first large-class mission in ESA's Cosmic Vision 2015-2025 programme. Planned for launch in 2022 and arrival at Jupiter in 2031, it will spend at least three years making detailed observations of the giant gaseous planet Jupiter and three of its largest moons, Ganymede, Callisto and Europa.
The JUICE spacecraft will carry the most powerful remote...
E-TEST is an innovation project in the frame of the Einstein Telescope, developed to validate technologies regarding sensitivity at low frequency and contactless cooling of a large suspended cryogenic silicon mirror.
The prototype will be tested in our FOCAL6.5 vacuum chamber, one of the main CSL's environmental test facilities used for space instrumentation.
One of the E-TEST experiment's...
The design of active radiators for the lunar surface is influenced strongly by extreme temperature variations, risks associated with highly abrasive lunar regolith and thermal cases including those with high IR backload from the surface of the Moon as well as the long lunar night.
For hot cases during the lunar day, surface temperatures are higher than the radiator operating temperatures....
