Application of aerogravity assist with active cooling and thermal propulsion to the solar probe mission

Aerogravity assist is an orbital transfer technique that enhances the effect of gravity assist maneuvers by utilizing aerodynamic lift in addition to gravity. This enables greater turning angles from a planetary assist, potentially cutting years off a conventional gravity assisted trajectory with multiple flybys or significantly reducing required launch C3. One of the major challenges are the extreme heat loads and heat fluxes present when flying through atmospheres at interplanetary speeds. Incorporating an activ ...

Extreme temperature thermal vacuum testing of the solar probe plus radiator

The Solar Probe Plus (SPP) spacecraft is equipped with four thermal radiators as part of the solar array cooling system. This cooling system rejects the heat absorbed by two high heat flux solar arrays. Each thermal radiator is comprised of nine aluminum radiation fins that are bonded with epoxy to titanium tubes. These tubes are connected together via inlet and outlet manifolds to create each radiator assembly. The solar arrays are cooled by micro-channel-etched titanium plates through which the working fluid, water, is for ...

Active solar array thermal control system for the solar probe plus spacecraft

The Solar Probe Plus (SPP) spacecraft will orbit the Sun closer than any other previous probe. As dictated by the current mission design, the spacecraft will achieve many perihelia as close as 9.5 RS from the Sun. During those passes, it will encounter a solar flux of ~500 suns, or 70 W/cm2. This flux is more than 50 times larger than the solar heating seen by any previous spacecraft. During the entire mission, the spacecraft and science instruments will be protected by a Thermal Protection System (TPS), and elect ...
