dependence on space-based technologies. Whether large or small, all spacecraft will require the same basic bus systems and environmental protection, 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 the gap between the commercially available thermal modeling tools used for larger, more expensive satellites, and the low-fidelity algorithms and techniques used for simple first order analysis.</p> <p>The ATMA consists of the MATLAB based Adaptive Thermal Modeling Tool (ATMT) and its user’s manual, as well as the process by which an inexperienced engineer can quickly and accurately perform on-orbit thermal trades studies for a range of space applications. The ATMA tools and techniques have been validated with an industry standard thermal modeling program (Thermal Desktop) and correlated to thermal test data taken from MIT’s CASTOR nanosatellite. The concepts derived and evaluated within ATMA can be extended to a variety of aerospace modeling applications. The ATMT program and modeling architecture are currently being utilized by members of MIT’s Space Engineering Academy (SEA) and undergraduate satellite team as well as the U.S. Air Force Academy’s FalconSAT-6 program.</p> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field--text-with-summary.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-upload-files--publication-files.html.twig * field--node--field-upload-files.html.twig * field--node--publication-files.html.twig * field--field-upload-files.html.twig * field--file.html.twig x field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field.html.twig' --> <div class="field field--name-field-upload-files field--type-file field--label-inline clearfix"> <div class="field__label">Upload Files</div> <div class="field__item"> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'file_link' --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/field/file-link.html.twig' --> <span class="file file--mime-application-pdf file--application-pdf"> <a href="/sites/default/files/publications/SM-2010-RichmondJohn_0.pdf" type="application/pdf">SM-2010-RichmondJohn.pdf</a></span> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/field/file-link.html.twig' --> </div> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-author--publication-files.html.twig * field--node--field-author.html.twig * field--node--publication-files.html.twig * field--field-author.html.twig * field--string.html.twig x field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field.html.twig' --> <div class="field field--name-field-author field--type-string field--label-inline clearfix"> <div class="field__label">Author</div> <div class="field__item">2Lt.

The satellite launched in November 2010 on a Minotaur IV rocket from the Kodiak Launch Complex in Kodiak, Alaska. It carried three Earth science experiments and two technology demonstrations into a low Earth circular orbit with an inclination of 72° and an altitude of 650 kilometers. The mission has been successful to date with science experiment activities still taking place daily. The thermal control system on this spacecraft was a passive design relying on thermo-optical properties and six heaters placed on specific components. Flight temperature data is being recorded every minute from the 48 Resistance Temperature Devices (RTDs) onboard the satellite structure and many of its avionics boxes. An effort has been made to correlate the thermal math model to the flight temperature data using Cullimore and Ring's Thermal Desktop and by obtaining Earth and Sun vector data from the Attitude Control System (ACS) team to create an “as-flown” orbit. Several model parameters were studied during this task to understand the spacecraft's sensitivity to these changes. Many “lessons learned” have been noted from this activity that will be directly applicable to future small satellite programs.</p> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field--text-with-summary.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-upload-files--publication-files.html.twig * field--node--field-upload-files.html.twig * field--node--publication-files.html.twig * field--field-upload-files.html.twig * field--file.html.twig x field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field.html.twig' --> <div class="field field--name-field-upload-files field--type-file field--label-inline clearfix"> <div class="field__label">Upload Files</div> <div class="field__item"> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'file_link' --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/field/file-link.html.twig' --> <span class="file file--mime-application-pdf file--application-pdf"> <a href="/sites/default/files/publications/TFAWS2011-PT-008_0.pdf" type="application/pdf">TFAWS2011-PT-008.pdf</a></span> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/field/file-link.html.twig' --> </div> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-source--publication-files.html.twig * field--node--field-source.html.twig * field--node--publication-files.html.twig * field--field-source.html.twig * field--string.html.twig x field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field.html.twig' --> <div class="field field--name-field-source field--type-string field--label-inline clearfix"> <div class="field__label">Source</div> <div class="field__item">TFAWS</div> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-author--publication-files.html.twig * field--node--field-author.html.twig * field--node--publication-files.html.twig * field--field-author.html.twig * field--string.html.twig x field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field.html.twig' --> <div class="field field--name-field-author field--type-string field--label-inline clearfix"> <div class="field__label">Author</div> <div class="field__item">Callie McKelvey</div> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field.html.twig' --> Wed, 15 Jul 2015 20:25:26 +0000 bfc-admin 1196 at https://www.crtech.com A CAD-based Tool for FDM and FEM Radiation and Conduction Modeling https://www.crtech.com/cad-based-tool-fdm-and-fem-radiation-and-conduction-modeling <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--title--publication-files.html.twig x field--node--title.html.twig * field--node--publication-files.html.twig * field--title.html.twig * field--string.html.twig * field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field--node--title.html.twig' --> <span class="field field--name-title field--type-string field--label-hidden">A CAD-based Tool for FDM and FEM Radiation and Conduction Modeling</span> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field--node--title.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--uid--publication-files.html.twig x field--node--uid.html.twig * field--node--publication-files.html.twig * field--uid.html.twig * field--entity-reference.html.twig * field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field--node--uid.html.twig' --> <span class="field field--name-uid field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden"> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'username' --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/user/username.html.twig' --> <span lang="" about="/user/1" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype="">bfc-admin</span> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/user/username.html.twig' --> </span> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field--node--uid.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--created--publication-files.html.twig x field--node--created.html.twig * field--node--publication-files.html.twig * field--created.html.twig * field--created.html.twig * field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field--node--created.html.twig' --> <span class="field field--name-created field--type-created field--label-hidden"> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'time' --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/time.html.twig' --> <time datetime="1997-09-01T16:56:05-04:00" title="Monday, September 1, 1997 -

As a result, many thermal engineers either build models “by hand” or use geometric user interfaces that are separate from and have little useful connection, if any, to CAD and FEM systems.</p> <p>This paper describes the development of a new thermal design environment called the Thermal Desktop. This system, while fully integrated into a neutral, low-cost CAD system, and which utilizes both FEM and FD methods, does not compromise the needs of the thermal engineer. Rather, the features needed for concurrent thermal analysis are specifically addressed by combining traditional parametric surface-based radiation and FD based conduction modeling with CAD and FEM methods. The use of flexible and familiar temperature solvers such as SINDA/FLUINT is retained.</p> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field--text-with-summary.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-upload-files--publication-files.html.twig * field--node--field-upload-files.html.twig * field--node--publication-files.html.twig * field--field-upload-files.html.twig * field--file.html.twig x field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field.html.twig' --> <div class="field field--name-field-upload-files field--type-file field--label-inline clearfix"> <div class="field__label">Upload Files</div> <div class="field__item"> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'file_link' --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/field/file-link.html.twig' --> <span class="file file--mime-application-pdf file--application-pdf"> <a href="/sites/default/files/publications/ices-98es-51_0.pdf" type="application/pdf">ices-98es-51.pdf</a></span> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/field/file-link.html.twig' --> </div> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-source--publication-files.html.twig * field--node--field-source.html.twig * field--node--publication-files.html.twig * field--field-source.html.twig * field--string.html.twig x field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field.html.twig' --> <div class="field field--name-field-source field--type-string field--label-inline clearfix"> <div class="field__label">Source</div> <div class="field__item">ASME</div> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-author--publication-files.html.twig * field--node--field-author.html.twig * field--node--publication-files.html.twig * field--field-author.html.twig * field--string.html.twig x field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field.html.twig' --> <div class="field field--name-field-author field--type-string field--label-inline clearfix"> <div class="field__label">Author</div> <div class="field__item">Tim Panczak, Steve Ring, Mark Welch</div> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field.html.twig' --> Mon, 01 Sep 1997 20:56:05 +0000 bfc-admin 1219 at https://www.crtech.com
