JPL Thermal Design Modeling Philosophy and NASA-STD-7009 Standard for Models and Simulations - A Case Study

Abstract: The Standard JPL thermal engineering practice prescribes worst-case methodologies for design. In this process, environmental and key uncertain thermal parameters (e.g., thermal blanket performance, interface conductance, optical properties) are stacked in a worst case fashion to yield the most hot-or cold-biased temperature. Thus, these simulations would represent the upper and lower bounds. This, effectively, represents JPL thermal design margin philosophy. Uncertainty in the margins and the absolute temperat… Show more

“…A two-phase methodology is commonly used in the process of thermal control and design for space systems [22][23][24]. Initially, engineers establish scenarios that represent worst-case design conditions, combining the most challenging environmental factors (such as solar irradiance or planetary infrared radiation) with demanding operational conditions (like internal heat dissipation and the degradation of material and optical properties).…”

“…Por un lado está el método que fue el primero en ser utilizado, el de márgenes preestablecidos. Presupone unos márgenes de incertidumbre jos basados en estudios estadísticos sobre las diferencias entre las predicciones de los modelos térmicos y los datos de vuelo [9,10,11,12]. Es el método más utilizado en las fases iniciales de los proyectos, y en muchos casos también durante el resto del proceso de diseño.…”

“…Existe un enfoque bastante generalizado para abordar el diseño de sistemas de control térmico espacial [9,10,11], que consta de dos pasos. El primero consiste en establecer una serie de casos extremos de diseño en los que se aplican las combinaciones más desfavorables posibles de parámetros ambientales (por ejemplo, la irradiancia solar o la radiación infrarroja planetaria) y de uso (como pudieran ser las propiedades físicas y los acabados superciales).…”
