Effects 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) R-ALPHA LIPOIC ACID 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.However, satellite spin rate has a marked influence on the satellite temperatures.

Also, comparison of results for the satellite configurations considered in this study suggests that a radiator at Bags - Coolers top provides better thermal design conditions.Results also indicate the adequacy of the discussed considerations for use in the design of satellites of similar configurations, missions and orbital parameters.
