Analysis of Orbital Thermal Environment for Inclined-LEO Small Satellite

Article Preview

Abstract:

Spacecraft thermal design is a process of energy management in which environmental heating plays a major role. This paper is aimed at modeling and analysis of the orbital thermal environment by considering the external heat radiation, for the inclined-LEO cubed satellite with 3-axis stabilized (to Earth state).The result indicates that the analytical model simplifies the analysis of orbital thermal environment and the absolute value of angle on inclined orbit can vary from 0 to a maximum which equals to the sum of orbit inclination and the maximum declination of the sun. Finally, for the inclined-LEO small satellite, the extreme thermal case should fully take account of the point of.
