WEBINAR: Spacecraft Thermal Management: Board, Box, and System Level Solutions

Whether it’s a small CubeSat or large GEO satellite, Aerospace Engineers are always trying to package more capability in a smaller and more mass efficient design. These objectives lead to increased thermal densities and puts more importance on reducing temperature rise through the entire thermal resistance network. In space systems, all heat must be rejected via radiation which requires strong heat transport and conduction along the radiators to facilitate efficient dissipation. For duty cycle operating components, which is a growing requirement for LEO orbit satellites, storing thermal energy in small volumes in order to size radiators to average heat load becomes a desirable design option as well. This Webinar covers enhanced heat transfer options such as heat pipes with various space flown working fluids, thermal storage with phase change material (PCM) modules and system level design considerations.
