Design and Manufacture of Thermal Model of AUTSAT Satellite and Its Thermal Balance Test

Base on space standards, the thermal design evaluations for satellites are performed using thermal balance tests. Regularly, the thermal model is used for the thermal balance test. This model is completely similar to the flight model of the satellite in terms of thermal characteristics. In this paper, the definition and implementation of thermal balance tests for Thermal model of AUTSAT Satellite is conducted. the evaluation of the TM and the procedure data Correlation of the numerical model have been focused. In order to increase the accuracy and feasibility of thermal mathematical model correlation, structural and complete models are considered for the balance test separately. In this study, the results of thermal balance test for the structural thermal model has been compared with the numerical analysis and the correlation procedure is illustrated. The results achieved by this procedure shows that all the requirements by the standard are satisfied in this level.
