Heat Storage for Spacecraft Thermal Management Systems

  • Published:
Russian Engineering Research Aims and scope

Abstract

The use of thermal stores in thermal management systems of spacecraft is considered. The mass of the thermal management system may be reduced by radiator design on the base of the mean integral thermal load, rather than the maximum load, when the heat store is introduced in the system. The size and the thermal and mass characteristics of heat stores based on different principles are compared, and the most promising design is chosen.
