Adaptive thermal modeling architecture for small satellite applications
… simply scaled to fit the mission. The varying thermal environment in space is particularly important to spacecraft design and operation because of its affect on hardware performance and survivability. The Adaptive Thermal Modeling Architecture (ATMA) discussed in this thesis is meant to bridge …

Application of Bayesian-based uncertainty and global sensitivity analyses to spacecraft thermal design
… has increased in complexity, the evolution of thermal engineering of spacecraft has plateaued. For years, thermal engineers have used the same principles of designing to stacked worst case scenarios and applying additional margin on top of the already conservative predictions. Recent …

Refurbished and 3D Modeled Thermal Vacuum Chamber
… testing includes acoustics, vibrations, and thermal vacuum. Cal Poly’s Space Environments Lab is equipped with multiple vacuum chambers, but no thermal vacuum chamber. The purpose of this thesis is to incorporate an ATS Chiller system with the HVEC vacuum chamber so students are able to …

Design and thermal analysis for a novel EMCCD camera payload in a 1U CubeSat form factor
… CubeSat form factor is challenging given the low thermal mass, volume, surface area, and power availability for heat storage, dissipation and control systems that would typically be available for larger form factor spacecraft. The goal of this project is to design and per- form thermal analysis …

Thermal Vacuum Chamber Refurbishment and Analysis
… environments that must be counteracted is the thermal environment. Each spacecraft has an operating temperature that is specified in the mission requirements. The requirement stems from internal component operating temperatures that are critical to mission success. Prior to placing the …

Parametric Study of Novel Passive Thermal Control Technology for Spacecraft
… materials (VEMs) are a relatively new passive thermal control technology used for spacecraft radiators. VEMs passively change their emissivity based on their temperature, with VEMs having low emissivity at low temperatures and high emissivity at high temperatures. This property of VEMs allows …
