Caitlyn McKay Structures and Thermal
Passive Thermal Control Caitlyn McKay Structures and Thermal • Barbeque mode • .1 deg/sec • Space blanket • Kapton: .005” thick, $15.50 per ft^2 • Teflon: .031” thick, $21.47 per ft^2 • Heat Pipe • .25” to 1” outside diameter carries 100W to 1000W • >10 kg for 1 m of pipe
Active Thermal Control Caitlyn McKay Structures and Thermal • cryogenic cooler • turbo-Braytoncryocoolers • very small mass and size • 4 to 10 Kelvin range • Sunpower M77 • $40,000 • lift 4W at 77K for 100W input • large mass
Barbeque Mode Caitlyn McKay Structures and Thermal Used in Apollo Initial attitude that would place the spacecraft side-on to the Sun while avoiding gimbal lock Rotation of axis can begin to rotate causing coning Tracking programs used to carefully control overall attitude as rotation progressed
Space Blanket Caitlyn McKay Structures and Thermal Hubble has 16 thin layers of dimpled aluminized Kapton material covered by outer aluminized Teflon shell less than one tenth of an inch thick Allows rovers to use smaller solar panels and batteries
Space Blanket Caitlyn McKay Structures and Thermal • Teflon • withstand 260° C • Kapton • withstand -268 ° C to 400 ° C • .005” thick = 27 ft^2/lb
