In the dynamic landscape of NewSpace initiatives, the utilization of cutting-edge technologies is paramount to success. One such groundbreaking tool making waves is computational analysis, playing a pivotal role in the thermal aspects of modern industry. Let's delve into the transformative impact of this revolutionary approach in our latest blog post.
The NewSpace era demands forward-thinking solutions, and computational analysis stands at the forefront of thermal advancements in modern industry. Our roadmap, Figure 1-1, sheds light on critical phases where computational thermal modeling plays a crucial role in shaping the development of space systems.
Feasibility (Phase A): Dive into the intricate world of requirements analysis, conceptualize Thermal Control System (TCS) concepts, and evaluate the Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of TCS products.
Preliminary Definition (Phase B): Craft preliminary designs, conduct trade-offs, and construct detailed thermal models to lay the groundwork for success.
Detailed Definition (Phase C): Update models, perform calculations for diverse mission scenarios, and adapt models for test configurations, ensuring resilience in thermal dynamics.
Qualification Production (Phase D): Execute test predictions and correlations, providing invaluable support for production activities while upholding the highest standards.
Utilization (Phase E): Adapt models for specific missions, predict mission outcomes, and offer crucial operational support for seamless execution.
Thermal models emerge as indispensable assets throughout space system development, serving as cornerstones from conceptual design to final in-flight predictions. In instances where physical tests prove impractical or cost-prohibitive, thermal analysis becomes the primary method to verify specific thermal requirements. The credibility of our predictions relies on maintaining the utmost quality in these models.
In the era of NewSpace exploration, let's leverage the capabilities of computational analysis to set new industry standards and pave the way for a future defined by limitless possibilities. 🚀🌌
