    thermal control technologies

    This paper reports on the degradation of thermo-optical properties of materials used in thermal and power functional surfaces due to lunar dust. A large set of solar cell coverglasses (CVG), radiator coatings such as Optical Solar Reflectors (OSR), Second Surface Mirrors (SSM), or white paints, as well as MLI outer layers are tested after deposit of Lunar Dust Simulant (LDS).
    The solar...

    Lunar Night Survival

    This is a follow up to the presentation given at the ESTEW 2021, “Modelling of a polar lunar landing site ESATAN-TMS”. The focus of the presentation is on the thermal modelling of lunar South pole landing sites, with intermittent illumination conditions, applicable to upcoming ESA missions PROSPECT and Argonaut. For these, there is an interest to have a practical modelling of the lunar surface...

    Lunar Night Survival

    Night resilience is an important point in the thermal management of any vehicle in Lunar or Mars surfaces. Arquimea has thermal control hardware for high and low temperatures, and solutions to decouple sink from components, securing the functionality of the components inside the lunar vehicle. These solutions, with TRL9 in both heat pipes (HP) and Loop Heat Pipes (LHPs), required new proposals...

  4. 58. Heat transfer and heat storage: a combination of technologies for long-term survival on the Moon

    Lunar Night Survival

    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...
