Initial theoretical thermal analysis (back of the envelope calculations) #185

Open Tdemuren15 opened 4 years ago

Tdemuren15 commented 4 years ago

Model satellite as point mass with incoming/outcoming heat fluxes
Determine expected temperature range over course of orbit
Use analysis to motivate further analysis (FEM analysis with ANSYS)

Factor in thermal capicitance to determine if/when thermal equilibrium is met
