Trade Studies: Thermal Strap vs. Heat Pipe (2 of 2) • Summary of Results • Conclusion • Thermal strap not a viable option • 3 lbm solid K-Core section does not meet requirements for high beta angle conditions • Likely mass required >6 lbm to meet requirements (11 lbm for heat pipe equivalent performance) • Heat pipes meet requirements for worst case on orbit conditions • 2-3 lbm within practical application • Orbit average TEC dissipation reduced relative to strap • Heat pipe cost comparable to strap: ROM approximately $30-50K • Testing considerations/restrictions can be accommodated
Testing (1 of 2) • Standards per GEVS GSFC-STD-7000A • Thermal vacuum qualification standards to ensure that the payload operates satisfactorily in a simulated space environment at more severe conditions than expected during the mission. • Component / Unit Level • Typically done by vendor • Applicable to components with power dissipation: camera, CEB, calibration lamp, motors, actuators • 1 survival cycle • Minimum of 8 thermal vacuum operational temperature cycles • Minimum of 4 hours at each extreme of each temperature cycle • Subsystem / Instrument Level • 1 survival cycle • Minimum of 4 operational thermal vacuum temperature cycles • Minimum of 12 hours at each extreme of each temperature cycle • Thermal balance: survival, hot operational, cold operational • Payload/Spacecraft Level • 1 survival cycle • 4 thermal vacuum operational temperature cycles (2 with project approval; dwell times doubled) • Minimum 24 hours at each extreme of each temperature cycle • Thermal balance as practical
Testing (2 of 2) • Functional testing • At each operational temperature plateau • Turn on test following recovery from survival plateau (usually combined with functional test) • Test Margins • See notes associated with temperature limits table • Considerations/limitations • Likely auxiliary GSE required for radiator temperature control; instrument & payload/SC level • GN2 / heater controlled panels • Heat pipes must be oriented to perform in “reflux” mode • Evaporator (TEC) must be lower than condenser (radiator) relative to gravity • No limitation for +Z axis vertical • For +Z axis horizontal vehicle must be clocked about Z axis to maintain reflux; approximately 90o rotation window
