Thermal Systems Modeling of Chemical Heat Integrated Power Source (CHIPS) to Survive Lunar Night Environments
(50th International Conference on Environmental Systems, 7/12/2021)
Herein we present the thermal systems modeling of Chemical Heat Integrated Power Systems (CHIPS) to survive lunar night environments. The objective is to deliver at least 100 thermal Watts and 30~40 electric Watts for 336 ...
Exploration PLSS Thermal Desktop Modeling
(49th International Conference on Environmental Systems, 2019-07-07)
The Exploration Portable Life Support System (xPLSS) maintains life support for a suited crew member during Extravehicular Activity (EVA). The thermal and pneumatic/hydraulic interactions within the xPLSS have been modeled ...
Thermal Operability Improvements for the Mars 2020 Rover Surface Mission
(48th International Conference on Environmental Systems, 2018-07-08)
The Mars 2020 Rover is scheduled to land on Mars on February 18, 2021. One of the primary mission objectives for the Mars 2020 Rover is to perform in-situ science and collect a set of Martian regolith samples for possible ...
Mechanical Design and Stress Analysis Challenges Overcome to Ensure the Structural Integrity of Europa Clipper’s Mechanical Pumped Fluid Loop Heat Redistribution System (HRS)
(49th International Conference on Environmental Systems, 2019-07-07)
Launching in 2023, NASA’s Europa Clipper mission will place a spacecraft into a long, looping orbit around Jupiter to perform a series of close flyby investigations of its moon Europa. Strong evidence suggests that Europa ...
Conceptual Thermal Design of the Carrier Relay Stage for the NASA Europa Lander Mission
(47th International Conference on Environmental Systems, 2017-07-16)
NASA missions to the outer planets face unique power and thermal management challenges. The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory is currently working two NASA missions to Jupiter’s moon Europa – Multiple-Flyby ...
Thermal Environment for the Lunar Volatile Prospector Mission
(47th International Conference on Environmental Systems, 2017-07-16)
The ESA mission concept Lunar Volatiles Prospector intends to send a rover to the south pole of the Moon for scientific exploration. Investigation of permanently shadowed regions (PSR) is one of the main objectives of the ...
InSight Mars Mission: SEIS Instrument Thermal Design, Testing, and Support to In-Flight Operations and Performances
(49th International Conference on Environmental Systems, 2019-07-07)
The Interior exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy, and Heat Transport (InSIGHT) mission goals are the investigation of the internal structure and processes of Mars, relating them to the evolution of other ...
30 Years of Thermally Controlled Imaging Spectrometers for Earth and Planetary Science
(46th International Conference on Environmental Systems, 2016-07-10)
Since its inception spectroscopy has been used to pursue science and applications based on the interaction of light with matter on Earth, throughout the solar system, and for diverse astronomical objectives. Spectroscopic ...
Dragonfly: Thermal Design Overview
(2020 International Conference on Environmental Systems, 2020-07-31)
Dragonfly is a NASA New Frontiers mission that will send a rotorcraft lander to Titan, Saturn’s largest moon. Titan has a dense atmosphere and low gravity, making flight an ideal way to traverse its surface. Powered flight ...
Gaps in Thermal Design Guidelines in Goddard Space Flight Center GOLD Rules
(48th International Conference on Environmental Systems, 2018-07-08)
The GSFC (Goddard Space Flight Center) GOLD Rules (Goddard Open Learning Design; GSFC-STD-1000) provide a reasonably comprehensive list of guidelines for the design and testing of spacecraft and instruments based on the ...
