CFRP provides excellent material properties in terms of thermal expansion and rigidity.Ĭ. Overall deformation is also influenced by the rigidity of the structure. Selection of materials with a low thermal expansion ratio is of primary importance to maintain low distortion of the structure. Structural deformations under temperature variations are also important design criteria for spacecraft equipment such as communication antennas and orientation-sensitive devices. Internal energy dissipation also contributes to local hot-spot generation and temperature gradient between the component mount structure and the exterior heat rejection areas. Extreme conditions are influenced by the effects of solar radiation incidence and eclipse combined with degraded thermal properties at the exterior surfaces. However, the thermal stresses under extreme thermal conditions sometimes reach the critical design limit, especially for the structural portions which were lightly loaded during the ascent. As long as the thermal design of the satellite is adequate, the temperature usually do not exceed the allowable temperature limit of the structural materials. It is important to note that the thermal environment has the most significant effects on the structure during the rest of the orbital life.

Because the satellite temperature is maintained within a comfortable range of 10–25 ☌ during the prelaunch operations, slight temperature variations during the ascent phase usually do not impose much structural difficulties.

After the jettisoning of the shroud, the satellite is exposed to free molecular flow which is equivalent to the heat flux of 1000 W/m 2. The maximum heat flux from the payload shroud is specified for each launch vehicle and is in the rage of 500–1000 W/m 2. Tetsuo Yasaka, Junjiro Onoda, in Encyclopedia of Physical Science and Technology (Third Edition), 2003 II.B Thermal Environmentĭuring the ascent phase, the thermal environment of a satellite is maintained under rather moderate conditions even at the time of maximum aerodynamic heating.
