Improving Ground Thermal Vacuum Testing for Small Satellites of the "aist" Family
نویسنده
چکیده
The purpose of this study is to perform an analysis of the process of experimental testing of the thermal control system of the “AIST” small satellite, using the computer simulation of the satellite’s flight in the “TERM” software package. Based on the telemetry data, obtained by the Samara University satellite ground control center, actualized parameters of the ground testing process were proposed. The ground testing parameters were verified by calculation of the satellite’s panels temperatures using the “ANSYS Thermal” software system both for the initial conditions obtained from the ground testing documentation and the ones that were proposed after the analysis of the thermal flow on the satellite.

متن کاملEffects of Some Parameters on Thermal Control of a LEO Satellite
Satellite thermal control ensures safe operating temperature ranges for satellite components throughout the mission life. Effects of altitude, spin, and position of satellite radiator(s) on the thermal control of a small Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite have been studied. Results show that change in satellite altitude, in the range considered here, does not produce critical thermal conditions. H...

Geomagnetic storms are one of the main causes of ionospheric perturbations in different sizes, depending on their intensity, which could disturb radio signals passing through this medium. On September 6-12, 2017, the sudden storm commencement (SSC) was the most massive geomagnetic storm of the year due to the X9 solar flare caused by a coronal mass ejection (CME). IMF-Bz and Dst values increase...
متن کاملWFC3 TV3 Testing: System Throughput on the UVIS Build 1’ Detector
The UVIS flight detector (UVIS build 1’) was installed in WFC3 prior to its third and final campaign of thermal vacuum ground testing. We performed testing of the end-to-end system throughput on the UVIS channel, and found that it performs near or better than expectations at most wavelengths. However, the measured throughput is significantly different than that measured for this detector in the...
