Active Cooling Systems

Passive Cooling Systems

Thermal Straps

  • Conductively transfer heat
  • Doesn't add structural loads
  • Blocks at ends of strap to be mounted

Thermal Louvers

  • Regulate heat dissipation
  • Function as shutters
  • Typically associated with larger mass and power input

Deployable Radiators

  • Dedicated surface for dissipating excess heat
  • Stowed during transit and deployed when needed

MLI/Tapes/Film/Etc.

  • Probably not helpful because would interfere with sun radiation (used to stratify temp)
