Abstract

This slide presentation reviews the functions of the thermal control subsystem engineers in the design of spacecraft. The goal of the thermal control subsystem that will be used in a spacecraft is to maintain the temperature of all spacecraft components, subsystems, and all the flight systems within specified limits for all flight modes from launch to the end of the mission. For most thermal control subsystems the mass, power and control and sensing systems must be kept below 10% of the total flight system resources. This means that the thermal control engineer is involved in all other flight systems designs. The two concepts of thermal control, passive and active are reviewed and the use of thermal modeling tools are explained. The testing of the thermal control is also reviewed.

Precision Thermal Control Technology to Enable Thermally Stable Telescopes

Abstract. The precision thermal control (PTC) project was a multiyear effort initiated in fiscal year 2017 to mature the technology readiness level (TRL) of technologies required to enable ultra-thermally stable ultraviolet/optical/infrared space telescope primary-mirror assemblies for ultra-high-contrast observations of exoplanets. PTC had three objectives: (1) validate thermal optical performance models, (2) derive thermal system stability specifications, and (3) demonstrate multi-zonal active thermal control. PTC successfully achieved its objectives and matured active thermal control technology to at least TRL-5. PTC’s key accomplishments are a demonstration of better than 2-mK root-mean-square stable thermal control of the 1.5-m ultra-low expansion (ULE®) Advanced Mirror Technology Development-2 (AMTD-2) mirror when exposed to thermal disturbances in a relevant thermal/vacuum environment, and the ability to shape the 1.5-m AMTD-2 mirror to picometer precision. Additionally, an analysis approach is demonstrated for quantifying thermally induced mid-spatial frequency error which can cause speckle noise in the coronagraph dark hole.

Precision Thermal Control (PTC) Technology to Enable Thermally Stable Telescopes

The Precision Thermal Control (PTC) project was a multiyear effort initiated in Fiscal Year 2017 to mature the Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of technologies required to enable ultra-thermally stable ultraviolet/ optical/infrared (UVOIR) space telescope primary-mirror (PM) assemblies for ultra-high-contrast observations of exoplanets. PTC had three objectives: (1) validate thermal optical performance models, (2) derive thermal system stability specifications, and (3) demonstrate multi-zonal active thermal control. PTC successfully achieved its objectives and matured active thermal control technology to at least TRL 5. PTC’s key accomplishments are a demonstration of better than 2-mK root-mean-square (rms) stable thermal control of the 1.5-m ultra-low-expansion (ULE®) Advanced Mirror Technology Development-2 (AMTD-2) mirror when exposed to thermal disturbances in a relevant thermal/vacuum environment, and the ability to shape the 1.5-m AMTD-2 mirror to picometer precision.

High Speed Bearing Wear Rate Measurements for Spacecraft Active Thermal Control Fluid Pumps with a Novel Pin on Disk Apparatus

A novel pin on disc tribometer was designed and constructed to generate a high-speed, wear coefficient database for hydrodynamic bearings that are typically used in canned motors found in the active thermal control circuits of robotic and inhabited spacecraft. The primary motivation for this work was the premature failure of the active external thermal control pump on the International Space Station in 2010. During the failure investigation of this incident, the root cause was postulated to be high speed wear of the bearings. Although a detailed forensic analysis gave credibility to this theory, the lack of wear coefficient data at relevant conditions prevented validation of this finding. The database generated from the new Extreme Environment Tribometer (EET) enabled a closure calculation within 5% of the observed wear from inspections of the failed hardware. Testing in anhydrous ammonia and surrogate fluid was performed to provide a means for simplified testing in the future and to populate a preliminary database for the design of future active thermal control systems on spacecraft. The EET and test techniques developed for the measurement of high-speed wear coefficients are available to future system designers.
