Record 1 2007-01-31

English

Subject field(s)
  • Orbital Stations
DEF

[A device located on the upper bus module between the solar arrays of a satellite and that] consists of an aluminum honeycomb panel...[whereby] a series of heat pipes [is] embedded in the honeycomb core and bonded along its entire length to both face sheets, thus allowing any portion of the heat pipe to serve as an evaporator or condenser.

CONT

Contamination analysis results are being used to select vent locations to minimize contamination fluxes to sensors, to evaluate vent outgassing, thruster plumes, and surface outgassing on very sensitive payloads, to locate sensors and star trackers at low plume density regions, and to minimize high contaminant depositions on battery radiators.

French

English

Subject field(s)
  • Orbital Stations
DEF

[A surface] located on the upper bus between the solar arrays [of a satellite] and [that] may catch and reflect light under some illumination angles.

CONT

Another possible source of flares (or clints) off the Iridium spacevehicle might be off two other surfaces of the spacevehicle that are coated with flexible optical solar reflector like the MMAs...One equipment panel underneath the MMAs, it has about the same dimension as the MMS (86 x 188 cm) but is pretty well shielded by the MMAs as viewed from the ground. The other is the Battery Radiator Assembly (called the BRA by the Lockheed gang who designed it).

French

Domaine(s)
