Contamination on insulators may increase the surface conductivity of the insulator, and as a
consequence, electrical discharges occur more frequently, which can lead to interruptions in …

This study proposes a novel low-temperature operable electric power system for
spacecrafts, using a combination of a low-temperature operable lithium-ion cell and a …

Lacking the atmosphere for temperature neutralization, objects in outer space without
thermal control undergo large temperature swings. Effective temperature management …

This paper discusses several cases of the Offline Nanosatellite Task Scheduling (ONTS)
optimization problem, which seeks to schedule the start and finish timings of payloads on a …

This study proposes a new passive thermal-control device utilizing phase-change materials
(PCMs) that require minimal active thermal support, such as heaters, to achieve a high …

Contact conductances are a significant factor in the thermal analysis aimed at assuring safe
