Mr Kandarp Amin09/10/2024, 11:30thermal design (for platforms, instruments etc.)
Microchannel heat exchangers (MCHXs) have been the focus of intense study in the academic sector for around 20 years, with an escalation in recent times due to the severe heat management issues associated with current and emerging applications in technology areas such as energy production and space. The space sector, in particular, is implementing thermodynamic cycles in what can be considered...

Optical instruments in space payload systems face challenges in maintaining minimal temperature gradients to prevent optical bench deformation, which can impair optical paths due to component sensitivity. The heat generated by payload components and processor units adds to the overall thermal load. To address this, a multi-processor system can distribute generated power, or heat, by shifting...

Jérôme Garnier (Thales Alenia Space Belgium)10/10/2024, 11:30thermal design (for platforms, instruments etc.)
This presentation addresses the main architecture and technological investigations performed in the frame of a new power supply for solid state power amplifiers compatible with baseplate reference temperature of 85°C. This power supply module has been studied by Thales Alena Space Belgium R&I department, supported by an ESA contract (ESA AO/1-10209/20/NL/CLP).

The Particle Environment Package onboard the JUICE mission is designed to measure neutral and charged particles in the Jupiter system. Being a particle spectrometer, its temperature should be higher than the JUICE spacecraft to minimize contamination by outgassing.
Therefore, several back-out periods with nominal and redundant instrument heater turned on are foreseen during the 8 year long...
