Description
Long lasting mission on the Moon both robotic and human are limited mainly by electricity and heat, with the first one used also extensively to produce heat. An efficient heat management, even better, completely passive is the key to enable these missions. Azimut Space explored and verified two technologies in this field.
The first one, developed with and in the frame of a mission for DLR, is a special type of completely passive diode heat pipe which reached TRL9 flying to space.
The second, developed with Walopt and CRM Group, is a heat storage device based on PCM developed for a Mars mission, of which performances were verified in thermal vacuum environment.
