Research on thermal conditions of a small space vehicle

The purpose of this research is to simulate the thermal state of a small space vehicle (SV) and to develop basic constituents of the thermal mathematical model (TMM). In this paper we present the description ofthe thermal control system. As a prototype we chose remote sensing (RS) spacecraft and in accordance with its elements and their structural features, we calculated thermal conductive connections. Consequently, for a given orbit we identified the external thermal effect on the space vehicle and by means of Monte Carlo method, we calculated mutual re-emission of the vehicle design elements. As a result, we analyzed the space vehicle elements and calculated their temperature.
