YamSat
Thermal Management: passive control,
black painting inside the satellite
26/47
The YamSat TCS ensures the proper thermal environment for
YamSat and thermal interface control with the instruments.
Component Thermal Control
The TCS shall provide thermal control for all thermally
sensitive YamSat components.
Thermal Passive Control
The thermal control shall be achieved through passive
elements, as thermal blankets, insulation, and surface finishes.
Thermal Margins
For all components, an uncertainty margin of 5°C shall be
included in all cases so that the maximum or minimum
expected flight temperature can be determined.
27/47
Selection of Thermal Control Materials
. Materials with low-outgassing characteristics to
avoid the contamination of other spacecraft
equipment.
. All electrically conductive layers of thermal
finishes shall be grounded to the vehicle structure.
. Thermal finishes and materials with low
degradations in solar absorptance.

Significant conduction heat loss from components to
structure panels and may cause some unit temperatures,
especially the battery, lower than their allowable temperature
limits.
Thermal isolators were used for screws that fix components
to structure panels to avoid substantial conduction heat loss.
An appropriate combination of surface properties of outer
and inner sides of structure panels to maintain component
temperatures within their ranges.
