Elaborarea modelului termic pentru microsatelitul studenţesc SATUM

Abstract

The thermal model of the microsatellite “SATUM RM” is being developed to be aware of the temperatures of every part of the spacecraft in every point of it's orbit. It is made by calculating the total heat inputs from all the environmental sources on all surfaces and from all electric power dissipated from the inside active components and the emission of heat into he space. The results obtained will be used for calculating the thickness (number of layers) of the MLI (Multi Layer Insulation) which will lead to thermal stabilization of the microsatellite.
