The ESAs Plasma Observatory is a mission that will study plasma energization and energy transport in Earth’s Magnetospheric System. This task is going to be performed by constellation 7 Sister Space Crafts (SSCs) with specialised equipment. The thermal aspects of this mission are of interest of this study.
The most dangerous elements of this mission, from thermal perspective, are raising...
The Atmospheric Remote-sensing Infrared Exoplanet Large-survey (ARIEL) mission, led by the European Space Agency (ESA), aims to significantly advance our understanding of the chemical composition of exoplanetary atmospheres. The mission will deploy a single spacecraft operating at the second Lagrange point (L2), equipped with a suite of remote-sensing and in-situ instruments for high-precision...
The Earth Return Orbiter (ERO) is a key element of the Mars Sample Return (MSR) Mission, a joint effort by NASA and ESA to achieve the physical return of samples from Mars. One of the critical systems on MSR-ERO is the High Gain Antenna (HGA), responsible for direct-to-Earth communication of the highest data volume, which will be pointed towards the ground station using an Antenna Pointing...

The ExoMars Rosalind Franklin Mission (EXM-RFM) aims to send the first European Rover to Mars with the objective to search for evidence of past and present forms of life. The spacecraft architecture consists of a Carrier Module and an Entry Descent and Landing Module (EDLM) composed of an Aeroshell and a Landing...
The MetOp-SG (Meteorological Operational Satellite - Second Generation) program comprises a series of meteorological satellites developed by ESA in collaboration with EUMETSAT and with the support of a European industrial consortium led by Airbus Defence and Space as the prime contractor. MetOp-SG is designed to provide crucial data for weather forecasting, climate monitoring, and atmospheric...

1. Added Value Solutions, Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain.
AVS is developing the flight cryostat design for the X-IFU instrument of ESA's ATHENA mission. This cryogenic system is responsible for supporting and integrating the instrument's cold core, whose...
As small satellite production is moving toward industrialized, scalable models, the need for flexible and mission-adaptable thermal management becomes crucial. HAWK PLUS, Argotec’s standardized and modular satellite platform, integrates thermal design flexibility as a core architectural principle to support a wide range of mission profiles and orbital environments.
Although HAWK PLUS is...
Phase change materials have been investigated in order to damp fast but short thermal loads for platform application on specific electronic equipments. Beside thermo-elastic performance reduction could be challenged by combining a very low CTE material like Invar with a PCM material allowing to improve global thermal inertia.
Elementary characterization of different PCMs will be presented as...
WIVERN (WInd VElocity Radar Nephoscope) is an Earth Explorer 11 candidate mission currently in Phase A. The thermal design of the payload module (PLM) is challenging due to the combination of high solar fluxes and rotation rates of the PLM combined with accommodation constraints placing high dissipating components at the centre of spin. To resolve this the proposed design relies on a large...
The scope of this presentation will be focused on the thermal design and analysis of two cameras: one is a Near Infrared-Short Wave Infrared camera (NIR-SWIR), and the other is a Visible-Near Infrared (VIS-NIR) camera. These two instruments were built, integrated and will be fully tested at INVAP facilities in Bariloche - Argentina.
These instruments are part of a LEO satellite for an Ocean...
The Mass-change And Geosciences International Constellation (MAGIC), a joint mission initiative by ESA and NASA, is designed to provide high-resolution, time-variable gravity data to support global monitoring of water mass transport. By tracking changes in Earth’s gravity field, MAGIC will enable improved understanding of critical processes such as ice sheet and glacier melting, groundwater...
