MMO Thermal Analysis Status In Mercury Orbit (Jan-2006) [Thermal Analyses] • Maximum predicted temperatures of MMO internal components will exceed the allowable temperature at the worst hot case (perihelion EOL). Studies of options to decrease the maximum temperature of MMO internal components are being performed. 1) to impose operational constraints on the Sun angle to the spin axis. • 92 +/-1 deg. normal • 90 +/-1 deg. around perihelion 2) to impose operational constraints on the MMO mode • Operating low heat dissipation modes around perihelion • Additional Option: Alternative reversed orbit around Mercury

However, still exceeding the allowable temperature of the components.

MMO Alternative Reversed Orbit Option • It will be possible that MMO maximum peak temperature of internal components can decrease by about 10 deg C in case of the alternative reversed orbit, compared to the current baseline orbit, because MMO temperature will decrease during eclipse. • From the thermal point of view, the MMO reversed attitude (up-side down) with the current baseline orbit is equivalent to the alternative reversed orbit option. However, the MMO reversed attitude option will have some impact on the attitude control subsystem, because visible stars from the star scanner attached to the lower surface will change from the south pole to the north pole. Therefore, the MMO reversed orbit option will be preferable than the MMO reversed attitude option. • The MMO reversed orbit option will not affect MMO payloads and science. ESA & JAXA are investigating this option.

Because MMO temperature will decrease during eclipse. Current Baseline Orbit: North to South direction at Periherm
