ABSTRACT

Hengeveld, Derek William, Ph.D., Purdue University, December 2010. Development of a System Design Methodology for Robust Thermal Control Subsystems to Support Responsive Space. Major Professors: Dr. James E. Braun and Dr. Eckhard A. Groll, School of Mechanical Engineering. This dissertation presents design and implementation tools supporting the development of Responsive Space thermal control subsystems. An extended literature review revealed topics requiring immediate attention and others providing promising contributions. Consequently, several diverse works were carried out. Single hot- and cold-case design orbits that work well in the design of Responsive Space thermal control subsystems over a wide range of satellite surface properties and expected operating environments were identified. While hot- and cold-case design orbits for traditional missions are established from a well-defined spacecraft attitude and orientation, robust thermal control subsystem bounding orbit conditions must be based on a broad range of potential orbit definitions. From the analysis, a hot-case design orbit was found ( β = 72°, i = 52°, altitude = 350 km) which provided orbital averaged heat fluxes within 0.5% of the values determined using design orbits specific to individual surface types. A general cold-case design orbit was found ( β = 0°, i = 28°, altitude = 1000 km) which provided orbital averaged heat fluxes within 9.0% of the values determined using design orbits specific to individual surface types. If more accuracy is required, two additional cold-case design orbits were identified. For spacecraft with predominantly solar reflector surfaces, a cold-case design orbit ( β = 0°, i = 74°, altitude = 1000 km) provides minimum orbital averaged heat fluxes. For all other surface types, a cold-case design orbit ( β = 0°, i = 28°, altitude = 350 km) provided orbital averaged heat fluxes

xxxviii within 3.4% of the values determined using design orbits specific to individual surface types. A computational tool was developed which improves satellite thermal performance through intelligent component placement. Based on orbital-averaged electronic component power and environmental heat fluxes, the tool provides the optimal satellite face and location within that face for all components such that thermal gradients across the satellite are minimized. Results are determined using a two-step process. First, a global distribution optimization strategy was applied to determine the specific satellite face with which a component should be mated. After all component-face combinations are determined, a local placement algorithm was applied to determine specific component locations within each face. Both steps were based on genetic-algorithms that utilize a combination of elitist strategies, reproduction, local gradient searches, mutation, and bestand worst-fit heuristics. Tuning studies were carried out on the genetic-algorithms to determine appropriate convergence criteria, population size, and values for evolution parameters. The global distribution optimization strategy determines component-face pairs for multi-sided satellites, which achieve a more balanced distribution of heat flux. This depends upon panel orientation and the external thermal environmental fluxes placed upon them. Results showed that a strictly rule-based approach would provide the least computational expense and provide reasonable results for the cases considered here. However, this approach might not be suitable for cases not considered. Consequently, an approach that takes full advantage of the capabilities of the algorithm is recommended. However, this approach increases computational expense. Computational requirements, on average, are expected to be approximately 12 seconds or less for up to 54 components using a 2.5 gigahertz dual-core computer. The maximum computational requirements are expected to be less than approximately 22 seconds for up to 54 components using the same machine. Optimized, even, and worst-case distributions for a nominal distribution of 36 components in the hot-case orbit were found for total power of 100 W up to 1200 W. On average, optimized component distributions reduced maximum temperatures, increased minimum temperatures, and reduced maximum temperature

xxxix differences by 5.4 K, 7.1 K, and 12.6 K, respectively, over evenly distributed components. The largest and smallest maximum temperature difference reductions were 17.8 K (at 400 W) and 9.5 K (at 100 W), respectively. The second step provides rapidly optimized component placement on a given panel approaching a uniform heat flux distribution. Optimized results were obtained for 18 uniform and 11 non-uniform components within 20 s and 7 s, respectively, using a 2.5 gigahertz dual-core processor. Advantages of this method include no need for thermophysical properties and boundary conditions. Optimized results are obtained using only component averaged power and domain size. Consequently, this approach is ideally suited to situations where limited information is readily available. In addition, limiting the required inputs provides for relatively fast solutions. However, care should be taken to ensure that a uniform distribution of fluxes is required for optimized placement. This robust and fast approach can be utilized in a variety of applications including microelectronics and satellite development and is especially suited to those demanding low computational expense. Reduced-order models to predict satellite temperature responses for an 11-factor computer simulation model were developed. These surrogate models were shown to provide acceptable results over more computationally expensive computer simulations. Consequently, these models are ideally suited for rapid evaluation of a wide-range of satellite thermal control subsystem design approaches. Further, these models do not require users to have an extensive background in thermal modeling and/or access to expensive thermal simulation software. In total, eight reduced-order models were developed (one for each level of the categorical variables) and based computer simulations run at evaluation points determined using Latin Hypercube sampling. A Gaussian Process regression model approach was used to fit the subsequent data. The eight reduced-order models were tested using 100 randomly generated test cases. The reduced-order model results were compared to computer simulation results by subtracting the two results at all test points. Residuals, found for maximum temperature, minimum temperature, and maximum temperature difference over all components, had means of 0.1448 K, 0.06414 K, and 0.08643 K, respectively. Additionally, the maximum

xl temperature, minimum temperature, and maximum temperature difference responses had standard deviations of 1.547 K, 1.077 K, and 1.518 K, respectively.

CHAPTER 1 - INTRODUCTION

Space exploitation provides tremendous opportunities. Since 1957, satellites have been developed to take advantage of this new high ground by providing communication, scientific observation, weather monitoring, navigation, remote sensing, surveillance, and data-relay services (Gilmore, 2002). However, space presents extraordinary challenges. Consequently, satellites have become exceedingly complex and costly. Current satellites can take from 3 to 7 years to deploy (Table 1.1) and cost from millions to billions of dollars (Williams and Palo, 2006a). Table 1.1: Design and Development Schedule Requirements for Varying Spacecraft Complexities (Saleh and Dubos, 2007). Assemble, Test, and

Increased complexity and cost can be traced to the growing importance and expectations of space. In addition, high launch costs push manufacturers to extend design life to reduce life-cycle costs (Noel, Excorpizo, and Jones, 2004). However, extended design life is accomplished through added redundancy that in turn increases complexity and cost. Until recently, affordable space exploitation has remained elusive. While current costs to place a kilogram of capability on orbit remains expensive, modern advances have significantly increased the capability resident in every kilogram thus opening the door for small satellites (i.e. < 500 kg) (Cebrowski and Raymond, 2005).

2 Matured in the late 1980s, small satellites have the capability to increase launch rates, increase space-based solutions to common terrestrial problems, and aid in developing a more robust aerospace industry (Noel, Excorpizo, and Jones, 2004). These advantages are realized through cost savings resulting from decreased mass (both bus and launch vehicle), reduced complexity, limited redundancy, utilization of existing and offthe-shelf technology, and shortened design schedules. In addition, reduced on-orbit lifetimes have a side effect of making technology insertion much easier than for larger programs (Bearden, 2001). Finally, small satellites spread risk. Whereas loss of a large complex system presents a potentially disastrous situation, loss of a small satellite does not since they are easier to replenish. More flexible and even cheaper satellites can be realized through robust design approaches. Robust satellites are designed to meet a broad range of mission requirements; consequently, they drastically reduce non-recurring engineering costs and greatly diminish design, development, and Assembly, Integration, and Test (AI&T) schedules (Table 1.2).

High initial cost for development units with low cost for subsequent (i.e. production) units. This table illustrates advantages of robust design above traditional and small satellite

approaches; the primary being reduced development time. Responsive Space (RS) is a modern example of small, robust satellites that challenge the boundaries of schedule limits while keeping costs low.

CHAPTER 2 - RESPONSIVE SPACE

The United States is more dependent on space assets than any other nation (Rumsfeld, 2001) especially for military applications such as surveillance, communication, navigation, meteorology, theatre support, and force application (Williams and Palo, 2006a). Although these assets currently provide an asymmetric advantage and has thrust the United States as the clear leader in the use of space, this is not guaranteed in the future (Cebrowski and Raymond, 2005). To reduce development time and cost while maintaining the United States’ military space authority, a Responsive Space (RS) vision has been initiated to revolutionize the methods in which satellites are designed, developed, and put into use. The objective of RS is to quickly deliver low cost, short-term tactical capabilities to address unmet warfighter and intelligence needs (U.S. GAO, 2008; Wegner, 2006). Achieving this will require a considerable departure from DOD’s traditional large space acquisition approach. Wegner et al. (2005) and Arritt et al. (2007) highlight specific objectives including satellites taskable by theatre commanders and data tasking using existing infrastructure. Three noteworthy pillars of this effort will have significant implications in the design of RS architectures. First, RS architectures must be designed with robustness to handle a wide range of conditions (i.e. components, technologies, environments) as opposed to traditional design, which is intended for a specific set of requirements. Second, RS will provide tactical space support in less than six days. In view of current approaches which take years (Table 1.1), this presents a major change. Finally, RS strives to keep mission life-cycle costs low. The Operationally Responsive Space (ORS) office has been directed to strive for satellite costs under $40 million and launch costs under $20 million (Arritt et al., 2008). This is a significant deviation from current average AFRL small satellite costs of $87 million and launch costs of $21 to $28 million for the

4 Minotaur launch vehicle and $65 million for the Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle (U.S. GAO, 2008). RS will be a significant challenge, but the potential impact is vast. RS will increase the security of the United States and its allies through enhanced capabilities. An Integrated Systems Engineering Team (ISET) comprised of industry, government and academia representatives was established to define the range of missions needed for RS activities. These include: 1) ISR missions such as Electrical-Optical (EO), synthetic aperture radar (SAR), hyper-spectral imagery, signals intelligence, and blue force tracking; 2) communication; 3) weather sensing; 4) navigation; and 5) space superiority (ORSBS-001, 2007 and Summers, 2005). These missions lend themselves to two natural orbit regimes: low-Earth orbit (LEO) for missions such as EO and SAR where proximity of the sensor to the target is preferred and highly-elliptical orbit (HEO) for missions such as blue force tracking (BFT) and communications where long dwell is more important than resolution (ORSBS-001, 2007). In addition, RS has the potential to provide disaster relief, increase monitoring of earthquake activity and provide a teaching tool for Universities (Wegner et al., 2005). Further, it would most certainly provide low-cost, reliable spacecraft and launch vehicles, improving access to space. Currently, less than 20 percent of the Department of Defense (DOD) payloads make it into space (Cebrowski and Raymond, 2005). In addition, DOD’s Space Test Program, which is designed to help the science and technology community find opportunities to test in space relatively cost-effectively, has only been able to launch an average of seven experiments annually in the past four years (U.S. GAO, 2006). RS could improve these statistics. The National Security Presidential Directive NSPD-40 signed in 2004 states that the current RS program would show initial capability before 2010 (NSPD-40, 2005). The primary organization charged with tackling these problems is the ORS program office and supported by, among others, the AFRL Space Vehicles Directorate (AFRL/RV) at Kirtland Air Force Base. AFRL/RV has made RS one of its core thrusts and is developing and demonstrating spacecraft to meet those challenges (Wegner and Kiziah, 2006). To date, several programmatic attributes have been generated which are a significant departure from traditional approaches (Table 2.1).

In addition to overall cost and development limits, a recent study was completed by the ISET classifying RS missions including mission type, spacecraft mass and power limits. Mission requirements were separated into three regimes: LEO, HEO, and space superiority missions (Table 2.2). Table 2.2: Responsive Space Mission Performance Requirements (ORSBS-001, 2007).

LEO missions will range from equatorial to Sun synchronous orbits. Also, altitude requirements were impacted by drag requirements. Drag at low altitudes must be overcome by propulsion lending to a minimum altitude of 350 km. To meet 25-year

6 atmospheric drag re-entry requirements, a maximum altitude of 705 km is required (ORSBS-001, 2007). The reference HEO mission is a 63.4° inclination elliptical orbit (i.e. 7800 x 525 km) to allow for long dwell times necessary for communications missions. Finally, a space superiority mission was developed to allow for instances where more capability will be required in a LEO environment. To achieve RS, all aspects must be reconsidered including: on-demand launch vehicles, responsive buses, and responsive payloads. Several efforts are underway in both the public and private sectors to develop new launch vehicles capable of placing satellites in LEO. Foust and Smith (2004) provide an exhaustive review of these efforts including those of SpaceX and their Falcon 1. This unit is capable of launching roughly 450 kg into LEO at a cost of $7.9 million (i.e. $16,667/kg) (SpaceX, 2008). To date, five Falcon 1 launches have been attempted with two successes. Responsive buses and payloads could be approached by rapidly maneuvering onorbit pre-deployed assets or rapidly reconfiguring on-orbit assets for new and tailored missions. Although these techniques have their own intrinsic merit, a more robust solution is focused on rapidly launching and operating satellites. To meet this challenge, the methodologies used to design, manufacture and test buses and payloads must radically change (Williams and Palo, 2006a; Lawlor, 2006). Several examples of RS enabling bus architectures were found in the literature (Table 2.3) and are summarized in Appendix A. Each of these satellites attempt to meet the needs of RS. Although none has achieved all RS objectives each has improved various aspects through technology developments. RS success will be based in part on three driving principles: modularity, standardization, and acceptance of risk (Jones, 2005). Modular satellite bus architectures are of great interest as an enabling approach for meeting the cost, time, and performance needs of RS (Young, 2008). This will require a shift from custom built to modular plugand-play (PnP) architectures (Lawlor, 2006). A modular PnP bus is assembled from modular components with standard interfaces and minimal interdependencies between modules. It uses open-standards and interfaces, self-describing components, and an autoconfiguring system (The Aerospace Corporation, 2006). Although in the early

7 developmental states extensive system integration and testing is required, system integration is simple and testing tasks are automated. This will lend itself to a flexible satellite bus upon which component types (i.e. powers) and configurations (i.e. location) are variable.

Standardization is crucial in building modular satellite bus architectures more quickly and at a lower cost (U.S. GAO, 2008; Young, 2008). Design_Net Engineering, in the development of the Floating Potential Probe satellite, also found that standards and PnP are a key component in rapid development and integration (Murphy, 2005). A programmatic effort is being led by the Naval Research Laboratory and the John Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory to develop RS bus standards (U.S. GAO, 2008). From this, the ISET developed a set of bus standards by which RS spacecraft can be manufactured and tested within a given performance envelope (ORSBS-002, 2007). Flagg, White, and Ewart (2007) provide a review of current RS standards. One example of RS standardization is Space PnP Avionics (SPA). SPA systems are a more ‘internet-

8 like’ method of communication between sensors or actuators and are reconfigurable, providing an easily expandable network that is robust to failures (Lyke et al., 2005). In addition, the SpaceWire standard (ECSS-E-50-12A) has been specified as part of such a payload-bus interface for high rate data (Jaffe, Clifford and Summers, 2008). The final driving principle for the success of RS is an underlying acceptance of risk. In effect, this emphasizes RS satellites that are good enough. As a result, RS will utilize ‘state-of-the-industry’ as opposed to ‘state-of-the-art’ technologies in order to keep costs low (Raymond et al., 2005). Although systems need only be good enough to align with the philosophy of RS, they must be robust enough to meet a considerably larger design space over traditional optimized systems. A significant evolution in satellite bus design and development is essential. Traditional thermal control architectures are not well suited to modular spacecraft and, as a result, a robust TCS capable of operating under a variety of scenarios is imperative (Young, 2008). Development of a robust TCS able to meet the challenges of RS will prove to be one of the most significant obstacles. Although it can rely on relaxed design methodologies to align with the philosophy of RS, it must be robust enough to meet a considerably larger design space over traditional optimized systems.

CHAPTER 3 - ROBUST THERMAL CONTROL SUBSYSTEMS (TCS) FOR RESPONSIVE SPACE

Traditional thermal control subsystem design methodologies provide highly optimized and capable systems that are strongly influenced by a specific set of mission requirements. These include spacecraft configuration (i.e. component and payload selection along with their placement and orientation) and orbit definition, which defines the external thermal environment. The sum of these requirements in turn dictates TCS design (Figure 3.1). Traditional, risk averse TCS are designed to accommodate a single combination of these design parameters and are not intended for ‘off-design’ conditions. Traditional TCS designs are intended for one and only one mission. Although this highly engineered and optimized point-design readily achieves its intent, this methodology will not work for RS. Specifically, robust TCS must be developed. Robust TCS design must be drastically different from traditional approaches for three reasons. First, it will be intended for not just one, but a broad range of missions. The LEO mission ranges from Table 2.2 are a prime example. Robust RS TCS must handle missions from 350 km to 705 km and 0 to 98.7° inclinations. Therefore, developing a robust TCS for RS is imperative (Young et al., 2008; Birur and O’Donnell, 2001). In addition to orbit and therefore thermal environment variations, it must be able to handle variations in the number, power distribution, and placement of components, and allow for rapid integration of new technologies. Second, since RS missions are based on quick response, not enough time is available to appropriately design, model, and test in a traditional manner. Long term programmatic goals have placed this at six days (Table 2.1). Consequently, robust RS TCS must be designed and developed long before mission call-up (Figure 3.2). The accelerated design process provides significant problems to the RS thermal engineer due to the relatively

10 large and not clearly defined design space created by combinations of payloads, bus components and orbits.

Figure 3.1: Traditional Thermal Control Subsystem Design Procedure. Finally, robust RS TCS should be designed to minimize programmatic costs. Cost constraints will prevent the use of some approaches such as developing and filling a warehouse of RS satellites to fill all mission needs, but will lead to flexible thermal control design concepts that enable faster and less expensive design cycles (Birur and O’Donnell, 2001). Several examples of robust RS TCS design and development efforts were found in the literature and are summarized in Appendix B. These include design approaches including TherMMS, SMARTS, FACTS and development efforts including

11 HexPak, SMARTBus, and ITEMS. All of these concepts attempt to meet the needs through modularization and standardization all while accepting risk.

Figure 3.2: Robust Thermal Control Subsystem Design Procedure. A robust RS TCS approach is a drastic departure from traditional point design approaches. Young (2008) evaluated how best to accomplish this. His analysis revealed that an isothermal bus architecture with thermal balance modulation on the heat rejection side will enable full modularity. This work is a significant step forward in developing a robust RS TCS but stops short of defining performance requirements and the resulting design envelope. Standardized requirements are needed to fill this void.

12 There are no officially designated thermal requirements for an RS thermal control system and very little thermal work had been done on the topic (Bugby, Zimbeck, and Kroliczek, 2008) prior to this thesis work. The ISET has initiated a standardization effort for RS but few thermal control standards have been developed. Those that exist include launch and testing requirements, spacecraft control by turning heaters on/off, and delivery of a geometric and thermal math model of the spacecraft bus (ORSBS-002, 2007). From the literature, it is apparent that developing standard RS TCS requirements is an area that needs significant development. For example, hot- and cold-case design orbits are selected based on experience and intuition leading to vastly different design values and therefore thermal environments between development programs. Consequently, there is a need to develop a uniform set of design requirements for RS TCS including well-defined hot- and cold-case design orbits. Within the robust thermal control subsystem design procedure (Figure 3.2), mission objectives/concepts dictate a required set of electronic components that must be placed on the satellite. Traditionally, components are placed throughout a satellite without concern for thermal implications. Any thermal problems that result are dealt with far into the design process and can be addressed through rearrangement of components and/or modification of the TCS. Due to the shortened timelines, rearrangement and modification will not be allowed for RS. Consequently, RS TCS designs must be robust enough to handle the wide range of component placements that are expected. As an alternative, optimization algorithms could be developed to thermally improve component placement. These tools currently do not exist. Consequently, there is a need to develop computationally inexpensive optimization tools that would reduce robust RS TCS requirements and/or provide additional margin to existing designs. In addition, defining the requirements for attaining isothermal bus architectures with thermal balance modulation on the heat rejection side is needed. An isothermal bus architecture is not realistic but it is practical to consider a design approaching that performance. A quasi-isothermal bus architecture could still provide an RS TCS but requirements and standardization must be developed. It is not clear what should characterize a quasi-isothermal bus and what these implications have on the performance

13 and design envelope of the satellite. For example, is a 10 K temperature difference across the satellite good enough or would a more or less strict standard provide ‘good enough’ results. Also, thermal balance modulation on the heat rejection side is necessary for the RS TCS. Again, the definition of a standard control authority along with the resulting design envelope needs to be addressed.

CHAPTER 4 - MOTIVATION, OBJECTIVES, AND APPROACH

Chapters 1 through 3 highlight the overall objectives of RS (Responsive Space) and the challenge of developing a robust TCS (thermal control subsystems). The following describes the current efforts undertaken to further this endeavor. 4.1 Motivation A robust RS TCS approach is a drastic departure from traditional point design approaches. Young (2008) evaluated how best to accomplish this. His analysis revealed that an isothermal bus architecture with thermal balance modulation on the heat rejection side will enable full modularity. This work is a significant step forward in developing a robust RS TCS but stops short of defining performance requirements and the resulting design envelope. There are no officially designated thermal requirements for an RS thermal control system and very little thermal work had been done on the topic (Bugby, Zimbeck, and Kroliczek, 2008). Consequently, there is a need for a uniform set of design requirements for RS TCS including well-defined hot- and cold-case design parameters. In addition, defining the requirements for attaining an isothermal bus architecture with thermal balance modulation on the heat rejection side is needed. Also, thermal balance modulation on the heat rejection side is necessary for the RS TCS. Again, the definition of a standard control authority along with the resulting design envelope needs to be addressed. Finally, RS TCS designs must be robust enough to handle the wide range of component placements that are expected. As an alternative, component locations could be thermally optimized. These optimization tools currently do not exist. Consequently, there is a need to develop computationally inexpensive optimization tools that would reduce robust RS TCS requirements and/or provide additional margin to existing designs.

15 4.2 Objective The objective of the current work was to establish standards, design requirements, and design tools for the design and development of robust thermal control subsystems (TCS) for Responsive Space (RS). The following section describes the approach to accomplish this objective. 4.3 Approach To achieve the objective of the current work, the following tasks were completed. TASK 1: LITERATURE REVIEW - A thorough literature review was done to investigate the current state of RS, RS thermal control subsystem work, and thermal control subsystem technologies among others. The results of this work are summarized in this document and provided the framework for all ensuing analyses. TASK 2: HOT- AND COLD-CASE DESIGN ORBIT DETERMINATION - Orbit definition plays a significant role since thermal boundary conditions are established from spacecraft attitude and orientation and provide the bounding hot and cold cases (McMordie, 2003; Karam, 1998). Of these, bounding orbit definitions provide an immediate challenge, due to the large number of potential orbit definitions. Previous works have utilized design orbit cases for evaluating RS TCS, but these were based on experience and intuition not analysis. As a result, resulting design values have been significantly different between programs. Therefore, single hot and cold case design orbits should be identified that work well in the design of TCS for RS missions over a wide range of satellite surface properties and expected operating orbits. Hot- and cold-case design orbits will ensure that the most extreme thermal environments expected to be encountered will be applied to potential RS TCS. In addition, these will provide a standard set of circumstances with which all other work can be designed. An approach using both statistical and historical data was used

16 to select hot and cold case design orbits appropriate for RS. The results of this work are summarized in CHAPTER 5. TASK 3: OPTIMAL DISTRIBUTION OF ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS TO BALANCE ENVIRONMENTAL FLUXES - The isothermal bus concept could be approached by simply optimizing electronic component placement. The RS effort provides an ideal proving ground to attempt this given the Plug-and-play (PnP) and therefore, flexible nature of component placement. To achieve this, an algorithm is required to optimally distribute components among several distinct satellite panels. Each panel is characterized not only by its shape, but also by environmental fluxes incident upon it. The algorithm should be robust enough to handle any number and power distribution of components, most satellite geometries, and any possible orbit. Genetic algorithms in conjunction with bin-packing method approaches were used as the backbone for this effort. The results of this work are summarized in CHAPTER 6. TASK 4: OPTIMAL PLACEMENT OF ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS TO MINIMIZE HEAT FLUX NON-UNIFORMITIES - After initial component distribution, the isothermal bus concept is further approached by simply optimizing component placement in order to evenly ‘spreadout’ fluxes. To achieve this, an optimization algorithm is required to optimally place components over a given panel in order to minimize heat flux non-uniformities. The algorithm should be robust enough to handle any number and power distribution of components along with most panel geometries. Genetic algorithms in conjunction with packing methods were used. The results of this work are summarized in CHAPTER 7. TASK 5: DEVELOPMENT OF REDUCED ORDER MODELS - The literature has shown that an isothermal bus (i.e. zero temperature gradients across the

17 TCS bus) coupled with thermal balance modulation on the heat rejection side can facilitate a robust RS TCS. However, true isothermal conditions are not realistic; only quasi-isothermal conditions can be achieved. Consequently, it is important to determine quasi-isothermal requirements that allow for successful TCS design without being too strict and forcing unreasonable TCS designs. In addition, thermal balance modulation requirements are directly related to TCS design. For example, the range of longwave emissivities required to ensure that a given satellite will meet thermal requirements is directly tied to a given surface solar absorptivity. Therefore, determination of the specific or range of thermal design variables (e.g. effective conductivity, surface optical properties, and optimized placement) necessary in achieving varying levels of quasiisothermal conditions and required control authority is necessary. Reduced order models were developed and tested for to accomplish this task. These models can be utilized as a primary investigation tool and allow for a wide-range of searches and analyses. 4.4 Unique Results of the Work The results of the work presented here yielded the following unique features: RESULT 1:

A standard definition of hot- and cold-case design orbits is not available for RS. To the author’s knowledge, no efforts of this type have ever been undertaken. Single hot- and cold-case design orbits that work well in the design of robust thermal control subsystems over a wide range of satellite surface properties and likely operating environments were determined. The hot- and cold-case design orbits have many potential applications. First, they provide consistent design criteria for the development and comparison of robust thermal control subsystem approaches. In the absence of clearly defined mission criteria, these design orbits also provide a reasonable surrogate. Finally, they are useful for the design of robust spacecraft over a wide

18 range of both satellite surface properties and low Earth orbit operating environments. RESULT 2:

A computational tool was developed which improves satellite thermal performance through intelligent component placement. Based on orbital-averaged electronic component power and environmental heat fluxes, the tool provides the optimal satellite face and location within that face for all components such that thermal gradients across the satellite are minimized. Results are determined using a two-step process. As a first step, a global distribution optimization strategy was developed to determine component-face pairs for multi-sided satellites that achieve a more balanced distribution of heat flux. This depends upon panel orientation and the external thermal environmental fluxes placed upon them. Computational requirements are minimal and optimized results provide a significant improvement over even distribution of power.

RESULT 3:

A local placement algorithm was developed to determine specific component locations within each face for all optimized componentface pairs (RESULT 2). This computational tool provides rapidly optimized component placements approaching a uniform heat flux distribution. Optimized results are obtained with minimal computational expense. Advantages of this method include no need for thermophysical properties and boundary conditions; optimized results are obtained using only component averaged power and domain size. Consequently, this approach is ideally suited to situations where limited information is readily available. In addition, limiting the required inputs provides for relatively fast solutions. This robust and fast approach can be utilized in a variety of applications including

19 microelectronics and satellite development and is especially suited to those demanding low computational expense. RESULT 4:

Reduced-order models to predict satellite temperature responses were developed. These surrogate models were shown to provide acceptable results over more computationally expensive computer simulations. These models are ideally suited for rapid evaluation of a broad-range of satellite thermal control subsystem design approaches. Further, these models do not require users to have an extensive background in thermal modeling and/or access to expensive thermal simulation software.

CHAPTER 5 - DETERMINATION OF HOT- AND COLD-CASE DESIGN ORBITS FOR ROBUST THERMAL CONTROL SUBSYSTEM DESIGN

Environmental heating plays a significant role in the design and development of spacecraft Thermal Control Subsystems (TCS). Consequently, orbital parameters - which influence direct solar, albedo, and Earth-emitted heat fluxes - must be carefully evaluated over their expected range. Traditionally, extreme heating environments are identified for a particular mission and hot- and cold-case design orbits are established. However, despite consistent data, there is not a commonly accepted methodology in design orbit development (Karam, 1998). Approaches include those where TCS design influences mission concepts (Diaz-Aguado et al., 2006) and others where a given mission dictates specific hot- and cold-case design orbits (Megahed and El-Dib, 2007). Recently, robust spacecraft have gained much attention. Although this approach has significant advantages, it also presents new challenges. While, hot- and cold-case design orbits for traditional missions are established from a well-defined spacecraft attitude and orientation, robust TCS bounding orbit conditions must be based on a broad range of potential orbit definitions. Consequently, determining limiting hot and cold cases in a manner appropriate for robust missions is problematic. Further, the range of methodologies and resulting design orbits that have been used is noteworthy. For example, in optimizing the Brazilian Multimission Platform, TCS hot- and cold- case design orbits were established for each of several mission classes (e.g. equatorial and sun-synchronous) (Muraoka et al., 2006). Several other robust TCS efforts include thermal management for modular satellites (TherMMS) by Young (2008); forced air convection thermal switches (FACTS) by Williams (2005); and satellite modular and reconfigurable thermal system (SMARTS) by Bugby, Zimbeck, and Kroliczek (2008). Although these approaches are intended for the same broad range of missions, they are based on significantly different hot- and cold-case design orbits (Table 5.1). Not only

21 does this lead to potentially inconsistent development efforts but without careful analysis, can result in over- or under-designed systems. Therefore, establishment of a uniform set of hot- and cold-case design orbits utilizing a consistent methodology is necessary in the development of robust TCS.

NA: This information was not available in the cited work. The primary goal of the study presented in this chapter was to identify single hotand cold-case design orbits that work well in the design of TCS over a wide range of satellite surface properties and expected operating environments. To achieve this objective, a general approach was developed to identify worst case orbits employing a combination of statistical and historical data such that orbits with little potential of being utilized for robust missions are disregarded (Figure 5.1).

22

Figure 5.1: Overview of Analysis Methodology. First, temporal beta angle ( β ) relationships were developed based on traditional methods. From this, β versus inclination angle ( i ) relationships were developed which provided a statistical distribution. These results were combined with historical launch information to generate statistical and subsequently viable weighting matrices. The viable weighting matrices were applied to orbital-averaged thermal environmental models to eliminate statistically insignificant orbits. Using this approach, hot- and cold-case design orbits were found at distinct β and i combinations. For more detailed discussion of applicable variables, refer to Appendix C. 5.1 Development of Weighting Matrices Weighting matrices were developed based on statistical β development and historical i information. These were subsequently applied to orbital-averaged thermal environmental models to eliminate statistically insignificant orbits. This analysis started with a development of the temporal variation of β . 5.1.1 Temporal Variation of β

β is the minimum angle between the solar vector and the orbit plane and can vary from -90° to 90° where the sign describes the direction of orbit as viewed from the Sun.

23 Satellites with positive β appear to be going counterclockwise while negative β indicate a clockwise direction. β is a function of both Sun coordinates and orbital elements as follows (Gilmore, 2002)

β = sin −1 ( cos (δ ) ⋅ sin ( i ) ⋅ sin ( Ω − Ω sun ) + sin (δ ) ⋅ cos ( i ) ) .

(5.1)

Several of the parameters that are used to calculate β change with time. To better understand β , its temporal variation was investigated (Figure 5.2). The analysis begins by providing a method of describing time in orbit from which Sun coordinates and orbital elements are determined.

Figure 5.2: Illustration of β Relationship Over One Year for a Circular Orbit at an i of 0° and a Right Ascension of the Ascending Node of 0°. 5.1.1.1 Julian Day, JD Calendar time is not convenient for computations, especially over long time intervals. The universally adopted time measure for astronomical problems is the JD which is a continuous count of the number of days since Greenwich noon on January 1, 4713 BC (Wertz and Larson, 2005). The following algorithm yields an integer value of JD at noon universal time (UT) given a certain Y , M , and D (Wertz and Larson, 2005; Vallado, 2007)

24 JD = D − 32,075 + 1461 ⋅ (Y + 4800 + ( M − 14) / 12) / 4 +367 ⋅ ( M − 2 − ( M − 14) / 12 ⋅ 12) / 12 −3 ⋅ ((Y + 4900 + ( M − 14) / 12) / 100) / 4

.

(5.2)

The current epoch, or standard moment in time upon which orbital elements are referenced, is J2000.0 that is defined as January 1, 2000. Given the current JD , d was found as follows (Wertz and Larson, 2005) d = JD − 2451545.0 .

(5.3)

This value was used to directly determine the β for any given JD . 5.1.1.2 Sun Coordinates Unless otherwise noted, Sun coordinates were based on a low-precision method which provides the equation of time to a precision of 0m.1 between 1950 and 2050 due to expansion truncation and coordinates of the Sun to 0.01° (Vallado, 2007; Astronomical Almanac, 2007). The coordinate system, mean equinox of date (MOD), is based on the intersection of the ecliptic and equatorial planes (i.e. γ direction) on a given date (Vallado, 2007). The MOD reference frame accounts for motion of the coordinate system as a result of gravitational forces (Astronomical Almanac, 2007). All pertinent Sun coordinate variables are illustrated in Figure 5.3.

Figure 5.3: Illustration of Sun Coordinate Variables.

25 Ω sun is the angular distance measured eastward along Earth’s equator from the equinox to a plane perpendicular to the Earth’s equator and passing through the Sun (i.e. hour circle) (Vallado, 2007; Astronomical Almanac, 2007; Wiesel, 1997) as shown here

Ω sun = λ − (

ε 180 ε ) ⋅ tan 2 ( ) ⋅ sin(2 ⋅ λ ) + ( ) ⋅ (tan 2 ( )) 2 ⋅ sin(4 ⋅ λ ) . π 2 2 ⋅π 2

180

(5.4)

The δ is the angular distance north or south of Earth’s equator measured along the hour circle (Astronomical Almanac, 2007)

δ = sin −1 (sin(ε ) ⋅ sin(λ )) .

(5.5)

The λ is defined as the angular distance measured eastward along the ecliptic (i.e. the mean plane of the Earth’s orbit around the Sun) from the equinox to a plane passing through the poles of the ecliptic and the celestial object

λ = L + 1.915° ⋅ sin( g ) + 0.020° ⋅ sin(2 ⋅ g ) .

(5.6)

The ε is the angle between the planes of the equator and the ecliptic and varies with

JD due to gravitational perturbations (Astronomical Almanac, 2007)

ε = 23°.439 − 0°.0000004 ⋅ d .

(5.7)

Mean motion is a measure of the average angular velocity of an object. Therefore, L , approximates the ecliptic longitude. The g describes the angle from the perihelion

(i.e. the point where Earth is closet to the Sun) of an Earth moving with constant angular speed equal to the mean motion. This approximates the ν . These values were determined from the following and subsequently truncated to put them in the range of 0° to 360° (Astronomical Almanac, 2007) as shown here L = 280.461° + 0.9856474° ⋅ d

(5.8)

g = 357.529° + 0.9856003° ⋅ d .

(5.9)

5.1.1.3 Orbital Elements Orbital i and RAAN are two of the six classical orbital elements which describe an orbit about Earth. The i is the angle between the orbital and equatorial planes shown in

26 Figure 5.4. It can also be thought of as the angle between the angular momentum vector of the orbit and the vector parallel to the Earth’s spin axis. The i will remain constant unless subjected to an external force. These include man-made plane changes and naturally occurring luni-solar forces. Man-made plane changes were not included in this analysis and natural changes have been found to be very small (~1/100° per year) such that the i was assumed constant (Gopinath et al., 2004).

Figure 5.4: Illustration of the Six Classical Orbital Elements. The right ascension of the ascending node (RAAN) is the angle from the vernal equinox to the ascending node (Figure 5.4). The ascending node specifies the point at which the orbit crosses the equatorial plane traveling from south to north. For select i (e.g. 0°), the RAAN can be assumed constant (Figure 5.2). For all other i , changes in RAAN due to orbital perturbations are not negligible and must be included. The equations for Sun coordinates presented in the previous section were developed under the following assumptions: 1) gravity is the only force, 2) a spherically symmetric Earth, 3) the Earth’s mass is much greater than the satellite’s, and 4) the Earth and the satellite are the only two bodies in the system. Gravity is not the only force acting upon a satellite. Additional perturbing forces are present: solar radiation pressure, atmospheric drag, gravitational forces of the Sun and Moon, and forces as a result of a non-spherical Earth. Of these, perturbations due to a non-spherical Earth dominate the other sources; therefore, they were the only type of perturbations used in this study (Wertz and Larson, 2005).

27 The Earth has a bulge at the equator (oblateness) of approximately 22 km as a result of its rotation (Sellers, 2005). Because of this, periodic variations in the orbital elements are present that are dominated by variations in the RAAN and the argument of perigee. Precession due to Earth’s oblateness for circular orbits was approximated by Equation (5.10) and is a function a and i (Wertz and Larson, 2005) as follows:

Ω J 2 ≅ −2.06474 × 1014 ⋅ a



7 2

⋅ cos ( i ) .

(5.10)

Utilizing the orbit precession and given a RAAN at the beginning of the simulation, a corresponding RAAN at any subsequent time was calculated as follows: Ω = Ωo + Ω J 2 ⋅ t .

(5.11)

Figure 5.5 through Figure 5.7 illustrate select β variations over a period of one year for inclinations of 0°, 30°, 60°, 90° and 110° at an initial time of March 21, 2007. Figure 5.5 shows results for an altitude of 1000 km and RAAN of 0°.

Figure 5.5: β versus Time for Select Inclinations at an Altitude of 1000 km (Beginning on March 21st 2007 and RAAN = 0°). Figure 5.6 illustrates the effect of altitude on β history by simulating the results at the

28 lower end of altitudes (i.e. 350 km). Figure 5.7 illustrates the effect of RAAN on β history by applying a similar simulation at a RAAN of 90°.

Figure 5.6: β versus Time for Select Inclinations at an Altitude of 350 km (Beginning on March 21st 2007 and RAAN = 0°).

Figure 5.7: β versus Time for Select Inclinations at an Altitude of 350 km (Beginning on March 21st 2007 and RAAN = 90°).

29 As shown in Figure 5.5, the β varies continuously throughout the year because of orbital perturbations. For example, at an orbital inclination of 0° or 90°, perturbations caused by Earth’s oblateness are inconsequential and therefore, the resulting variation of

β follows the declination of the Sun over a year. At other inclinations, orbital perturbations play an important part in the resulting change of β versus time. At an altitude of 350 km (Figure 5.6), the effect of Earth’s oblateness becomes more pronounced and as a result, β changes more rapidly with respect to time. As before, orbital inclinations of 0° or 90° show no effect of perturbations. Figure 5.7 illustrates that a shift in initial RAAN causes a shift of the resulting β history for some inclinations. For other inclinations, such as 90°, a significant departure from previous results is shown. 5.1.2 Statistical Beta Angle versus Inclination Distribution For a given inclination, there is a unique probability distribution for the β . Some β may have zero probability at specific inclinations (e.g. inclination of 0° and β of 90°). For each integer inclination angle shown in Figure 5.5 through Figure 5.7, temporal β data was recorded every 0.001 days over one year (i.e. 365,000 data points). Each β was rounded to the nearest integer and placed within one-degree bins. The resulting frequency of occurrence values were normalized by the peak value (Figure 5.8 through Figure 5.10). For a given inclination, a maximum value is apparent for a particular β . For example, Figure 5.10 shows at an inclination of 60°, a maximum occurs at a β of approximately 36°. For this particular inclination, this is the β that occurred most often at an altitude of 350 km and a RAAN of 90°. In addition, the normalized frequency of occurrence becomes zero for combinations of β and inclination that are not possible. These results were expanded to include all inclinations from 0 to 110°. Figure 5.11 through Figure 5.13 provide contour plots of these results.

Figure 5.13: Contour Plot of Normalized Frequency of Occurrence for β for Range of i at an Altitude of 350 km (Beginning on March 21st 2007 and RAAN = 90°). Figure 5.11 through Figure 5.13 indicate a relationship between β and inclination (i.e. distinctive linear red areas). This was further refined by applying the same

33 methodology to a wider range of RAAN and altitude values. In effect, this ‘smoothed’ the resulting distribution. Figure 5.14 provides similar results to those of Figure 5.8 through Figure 5.10 but expands the analysis space to include summed results for integer β from 0 to 90°, select inclinations from 0 to 110°, integer RAAN from 0 to 360° and altitudes from 350 to 1000 km at a step size of 50 km. Figure 5.15 shows the same information but as a contour plot for all inclinations from 0 to 110°. Figure 5.14 and Figure 5.15 indicate that for a given inclination, there is a well defined peak in the normalized frequency of occurrence. Furthermore, there is a range of

β where the frequency of occurrence goes to zero. These figures clearly indicate a relationship of maximum normalized frequency versus β and inclination that follows ≈ ± ( i + 23.4 ) .

Figure 5.14: Normalized Frequency of Occurrence for β for Select i at Altitudes of 350 to 1000 km (Beginning on March 21st 2007 and RAAN of 0° to 360°). The expected distribution of β as a function of inclination presented in Figure 5.15 can be used to statistically predict the potential of encountering a specific β for a given inclination. For example, from Figure 5.15 at an inclination of 90°, the β most often

34 encountered is approximately 67°. It must be noted that this is based on a ‘blended’ distribution with information obtained from a range of altitudes (350 km to 1000 km) and a range of RAANs (0 to 360°) over a period of one year. In addition to capturing information over a broad range of orbital variables, this approach also had a tendency to smooth the resulting distribution. This can readily be verified by examining Figure 5.8 through Figure 5.10 versus Figure 5.14 for select i .

Figure 5.15: Contour Plot of Normalized Frequency of Occurrence for β for i at Altitudes of 350 to 1000 km (Beginning on March 21st 2007 and RAAN of 0° to 360°). A β at a given inclination can be disregarded if the continuous time spent at that combination is significantly less than typical LEO orbital periods of approximately 90 minutes. This would potentially occur for inclinations with relatively high perturbation frequencies (i.e. the number of oscillations over the course of one year). Investigation showed that these worst-case scenarios still yielded times on the order of hours and therefore all feasible combinations of β and inclination must be included in the analysis and cannot be disregarded. For example, at an i = 30° from Figure 5.5, which displays relatively high perturbation frequencies, continuous time spent at a given β of no less than approximately seven hours.

35 5.1.3 Historical Inclination Distribution Historically, satellites in LEO have been launched into a finite number of inclination regions. For example, inclinations around 63.4° will follow a Molniya orbit (Wertz and Larson, 2005) while those between 96.8° and 99.5° are sun-synchronous. Communication satellites such as the 66 Iridium satellites utilize near polar 86.4° inclinations and the 48 Globalstar satellites use 52° inclination orbits. Conversely, some inclinations are seldom, if ever, utilized. To account for variations in application, a probability distribution of inclinations was sought based on historical launch information. Data from 1957 to 2006 (Satcat.txt, 2007) was obtained for 29,493 unclassified orbiting objects (i.e. satellites, debris, and rocket fairings). To eliminate debris and rocket fairing information, this data set was cross-referenced with satellite launch information (Launchlog.txt, 2007). The resulting data set included 949 satellites launched into LEO with perigee greater than 350 km and apogee less than 1000 km. This included circular and elliptic orbits with maximum eccentricity of 0.03. For each object, specific orbital inclination information was obtained and the frequency of occurrence was tabulated and normalized for integer values of inclination from 0 to 110°. The results are shown in Figure 5.16.

Figure 5.16: Historical Inclination Distribution based on Unclassified LEO Satellite Launches from 1957 to 2006.

36 This figure provides an expected distribution of i based on a historical perspective that can be used to statistically predict the potential of encountering a specific i . This historical i and the previous statistical β versus i distributions were combined into weighting matrices that were subsequently used in the search for hot- and cold-case design orbits. 5.1.4 Weighting Matrices Weighting matrices helped focus the search by eliminating statistically insignificant orbits. A statistical weighting matrix was developed first and was found to eliminate much of the available search space. As a result, this approach was modified to include all viable combinations of β and i at a given threshold level. The result was the development of viable weighting matrices. 5.1.4.1 Statistical Weighting Matrices The probability that a particular combination of β and i angle will occur can be estimated from the product of the frequency that the β can occur at that particular i angle (Figure 5.15) and the probability of occurrence of the i angle based on historical data (Figure 5.16). With this in mind, a discrete statistical weighting matrix was developed using data from Figure 5.15 and Figure 5.16 with one-degree bin sizes for β and i angle. For β from 0 to 90° and i from 0 to 110°, this resulted in the Hadamard product (term by term) of a 91 x 111 matrix and a 1 x 111 matrix. The resulting 91 x 111 matrix was normalized and plotted as a contour plot as shown in Figure 5.17. As shown in Figure 5.17, the majority of β and i combinations were at or near zero. Consequently, resulting design orbits were found to be limited to those β and i combinations with values close to or at 1.0 from Figure 5.17 (e.g. β = 50°, i = 74°). In effect, utilizing the statistical weighting matrix eliminated most of the possible design orbit candidates. As a result, a modified approach was taken in order to increase the search space without losing the valuable information residing in the statistical weighting matrix. The result was the development of viable weighting matrices.

To ensure that all possible combinations of β and i were given consideration, a viable weighting matrix was generated. This weighting matrix was created by converting all statistical weighting matrix values greater than a given threshold to one. In effect, the viable weighting matrix maximizes the search space at a given threshold. In addition, increasing threshold values reduce the size of the search space. Figure 5.18 and Figure 5.19 show viable weighting matrices for thresholds of 0.00 and 0.03; areas in yellow indicate the search space at the given threshold value. Viable weighting matrices at thresholds of 0.01, 0.02, 0.04, 0.05, 0.10, 0.20, 0.25, 0.26, 0.30, and 0.50 were also generated for use in developing hot- and cold-case design orbits and are included in Appendix D.

39 5.2 Satellite Orbital Averaged Environmental Heat Loads The next step in determining the design hot- and cold-case orbital parameters was to quantify orbital averaged maximum hot and minimum cold case external environmental heat loads. Four distinct satellite surface types were considered that cover the range of expected solar absorptivity and longwave emissivity properties as summarized in Table 5.2.

These surface types were applied to a spherical satellite model in circular orbit. The metrics for hot- and cold-case heat loads were orbital-averaged external environment heat flux values consisting of three primary components: direct solar, albedo, and outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) flux (i.e. Earth emitted radiation). The characteristic temperature of space is 3 K and as a result, deep space radiation can be neglected as a radiation source (e.g. assumed to be at 0 K) with negligible error (Justus et al., 2001). In addition, collisions with atmospheric gasses can provide an additional heating source (Gilmore, 2002). This free molecular heating occurs only at exceptionally low orbit altitudes (below 180 km) and during fairing separation. Consequently, this heating source was disregarded for the analysis. Finally, charged particle heating is the result of near-Earth trapped charged particles in the Van Allen belts. This weak source of heating is typically disregarded for typical thermal analyses (Gilmore, 2002). ′′ 5.2.1 Orbital Averaged Direct Solar Flux, qsol Direct solar flux is a product of irradiation emanating from the Sun that arrives uninterrupted on a satellite, S ′′ , and surface solar absorptivity, α . Accounting for a

40 shape factor of ¼ (i.e. π ⋅ r 2 / 4 ⋅ π ⋅ r 2 ) and eclipse fraction, f , the orbital averaged direct solar flux, per unit surface area, can be calculated as follows: 1 ′′ = α ⋅ S ′′ ⋅ ⋅ (1 − f ) . qsol 4

(5.12)

Eclipse occurs for only certain orbits. For example, an orbit with a β of 0° will have an eclipse, while the orbit with a β of 90° will not. The fraction of time a circular orbit is in eclipse (i.e. eclipse fraction) was calculated using (Gilmore, 2002) 1 ⎡ 2 ⎤ 2 + ⋅ ⋅ h 2 R h ( ) 1 E ⎥ −1 ⎢ f = ⋅ cos ⋅ ⎢ 180 ( R + h ) ⋅ cos ( β ) ⎥⎥ ⎢⎣ E ⎦ f =0

The spectral shape of solar irradiation, S ′′ , is approximated by a blackbody at 5777 K and as a result is primarily shortwave radiation. For an Earth orbiting spacecraft, the magnitude of this value is not constant. First, the Sun emitted energy varies with an 11year solar cycle although this effect is only a fraction of a percent (Anderson, Justus, and Batts, 2001). This phenomenon follows the mean sunspot number shown in Figure 5.20.

Figure 5.20: Solar Cycle as Represented by Yearly Mean Sunspot Number (1900 - 2000) (Anderson and Smith, 1994).

41 Second, since the Earth’s orbit is elliptical, the mean distance between the Earth and Sun varies approximately ±1.7 percent throughout the year. As a result, direct solar flux varies ±3.4 percent (Anderson, Justus, and Batts, 2001). The solar constant, So′′ , is defined as the radiation that falls on a unit area of surface normal to the line from the Sun, per unit time, and outside of the atmosphere at one astronomical unit (1 AU) (Anderson, Justus, and Batts, 2001). Based upon recommendations of the World Radiation Center, this has a value of 1367 W/m2 (Anderson, Justus, and Batts, 2001). Values at other locations and times are determined by the following: S ′′ =

So′′ . 2 R⊕−

(5.15)

The Earth/Sun distance, R⊕− , is measured in AU. Accounting for an additional ±5 W/m2 due to variations in the solar cycle, solar irradiation values range from ′′ ) up to 1419 W/m2 ( Shot ′′ ) depending upon the Earth’s position relative 1317 W/m2 ( Scold

to the Sun. ′′ 5.2.2 Orbital Averaged Albedo Flux, qalb

Albedo flux is defined as the amount of direct solar flux upon a planet that has been reflected back into space and lands upon a satellite’s surface in combination with surface optical properties. Since albedo flux emanates from solar irradiance, its spectral shape is similar to the Sun’s spectrum and therefore, is primarily composed of shortwave radiation. As a result, surface solar absorptivity becomes important. Assuming Earth is a diffusely reflecting sphere, incident albedo flux depends on a satellite’s view of Earth (i.e. sunlit and shaded portions). In addition, an altitude correction must be included due to view factor effects. Albedo flux is also dependent upon the solar zenith angle, θ , which is the angle between the solar vector and the Earth-satellite vector. On an orbitalaveraged basis, this becomes a function of β . The orbital averaged albedo flux takes the form ′′ = α ⋅ S ′′ ⋅ Fs − E ⋅ ρ alb ⋅ K . qalb

(5.16)

42 Assuming the satellite is much smaller than Earth, the view factor from a spherical satellite to a spherical Earth is given by

Fs − E

1 2 ⎡ 2⎤ 1 ⎢ ( h + 2 ⋅ h ⋅ RE ) ⎥ . = ⋅ 1− ⎥ RE + h 2 ⎢ ⎣ ⎦

(5.17)

Albedo, ρ alb , is defined as the fraction of incident solar energy reflected or scattered by a planet back into space and as a result, its value ranges from zero to one (Anderson, Justus, and Batts, 2001). A value of zero indicates a planet surface that is highly absorptive to shortwave radiation while a value of one indicates a planet surface that is highly reflective. Albedo values vary significantly depending upon the composition and properties of the planet and atmospheric surfaces. In general, continental areas have higher albedo values than those of oceanic regions while snow and ice covered continental regions have higher albedo than those without. In the atmosphere, dense cloud cover provides for higher albedo values. As a result, albedo increases towards the poles (i.e. increasing latitude) due to accumulation of snow and ice along with additional cloud cover associated with weather activity (NASA SP-8067, 1971). The strong relationship to Earth’s surface and atmosphere properties yields an expected seasonal variation of albedo values (NASA SP-8067, 1971). Diurnal variations in albedo are insignificant (Justus et al., 2001). In addition, albedo varies proportionally with solar zenith angle. This is caused, in part, by the optical characteristics of the Earth/atmosphere system. Small solar zenith angles result in relatively low optical thicknesses of the atmosphere and therefore, scattering effects are less and the solar irradiance is more easily transmitted to the Earth’s surface. At high solar zenith angles, the optical thickness increases and thus, scattering effects significantly increase, which increases albedo. Further, in a partly cloudy environment at low solar zenith angles, direct solar flux is more readily transmitted to the darker more absorbing Earth surface, which reduces albedo. At high solar zenith angles, this transmittance is decreased and reflectance, or albedo, from the cloud tops is increased.

43 Experimental data have shown that the β has limited effect on localized albedo (Justus et al., 2001). The β does, however, have an effect on orbital averaged albedo. At large β , a satellite spends a majority of the orbit at a large zenith angle, which increases albedo. Although albedo increases with increasing solar zenith angle, the opposite is true for albedo flux since this is a function of incident radiation on the Earth. Incident radiation decreases with the cosine of the angle from the subsolar point and approaches zero at the terminator (Gilmore, 2002). Albedo varies at different locations on Earth and as a result is a function of several variables, including local Earth and atmospheric conditions (which are correlated to latitude) and solar zenith angle. These values were found based upon the Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE) and are summarized in several sources (Karam, 1998; Justus et al., 2001). Average albedo, ρ alb , is obtained by averaging the solar zenith angle dependent albedo, ρ alb (θ ) , over non-eclipse portions of orbital period, P . When in eclipse, the value of ρ alb (θ ) becomes zero. Accounting for the effects of solar zenith angle (Justus et al., 2001), P

which can be rewritten as,

ρ alb = ρ alb ( 0° ) + c .

(5.19)

Albedo data at a solar zenith angle of 0°, ρ alb ( 0° ) , were found from the ERBE, which includes data as a function of three distinct i bands (i.e. 0-30°, 30-60°, and 60110°) for several averaging periods (i.e. 16 seconds, 128 seconds, 896 seconds, 30 minutes, 90 minutes, 6 hours, and 24 hours). The 16 second time averaging data provides the most extreme values. For the analysis, 90 minute time averaged values were chosen, which were the closest to the period of low Earth orbit (LEO) orbits. A sample of

44 the data obtained for medium i orbits at 128 second data averaging is shown in Figure 5.21.

Figure 5.21: Albedo versus OLR for Medium Inclination Orbits (30 to 60°) using 128 second Data Averaging (Anderson and Smith, 1994). To reduce the size and corresponding complexity of available data, three extreme combinations were identified: albedo, combined, and OLR (Anderson and Smith, 1994). Albedo extreme values (ALB) consist of a pair of albedo and OLR values for which 0.04% of the values exceed the given albedo value. Combined extreme values (CMB) occur when 0.04% of the values are both above and to the right of the value for the hotcase extreme and 0.04% of the values are both below and to the left of the value for the cold-case extreme. OLR extreme values occur when 0.04% of the values exceed the given OLR value. These three are illustrated in Figure 5.21. For each of these extremes, mission critical values based on 3.3σ values in which the values are exceeded 0.04% of the time were utilized (Table 5.3). The average correction term, c , was determined by P

Equation (5.20) is simplified by relating the values of θ , β , and ϕ (which defines the angular position around the orbit measured at zero at the most-nearly sub-solar point) using (Justus et al., 2001). cos(θ ) = cos( β ) ⋅ cos(ϕ ) .

(5.21)

For a circular orbit, ϕ varies linearly with time and thus, integration was made with respect to angular position. Noting that the value of c (θ ) becomes invalid in eclipse and substituting Equation (5.21) into Equation (5.20) yields:

Assuming Earth is a diffusely reflecting sphere, incident albedo flux depends on a satellite’s view of Earth (sunlit versus shaded portions) in addition to solar zenith angle,

θ . For a more rigorous discussion, refer to Cunningham (1961). On an orbital averaged basis, these compounding effects were approximated as a function of β . A correction factor was developed using Monte-Carlo ray tracing software by solving Equation (5.16) for K over a range of β (0 to 90°) and altitudes (350 to 1000 km) for unit absorptivity, direct solar flux, and orbital-averaged albedo. The results are plotted in Figure 5.22.

(5.23)

with a coefficient of determination, R2, of 99.8%. As shown, this model fits the data well with modest variance at large β . Due to its dependence on θ , orbital averaged albedo flux diminishes as β increases; therefore, these deviations will not significantly impact overall environmental fluxes. ′′ 5.2.3 Orbital Averaged Outgoing Longwave Radiation (OLR) Flux, qOLR Earth maintains an average effective temperature of -18°C and as a result, constantly emits longwave (i.e. infrared) radiation (Gilmore, 2002). In addition, the atmosphere is emitting radiation and absorbing Earth emitted energy. Because of this, the spectral distribution of Earth’s emitted radiation is relatively complex. However, it is accepted practice to model this source as a graybody spectrum according to a temperature range of 250 to 300K yielding wavelengths longer than 3 μm (Anderson, Justus, and Batts, 2001; Justus et al., 2001). As a result, the orbital averaged OLR flux is a result of diffuse irradiation emanating from Earth, E ′′ , that arrives on a satellite in combination with surface longwave emissivity, ε shown in the following:

48 ′′ = ε ⋅ Fs − E ⋅ E ′′ . qOLR

(5.24)

Although OLR flux is less than direct solar flux, it poses a unique problem since the source temperatures are very close to that of the spacecraft. As a result, it cannot be easily reflected away by selecting surface materials with appropriate optical properties since these same types of surfaces would not allow emittance of spacecraft heat. Although not as severe as albedo flux, OLR flux does vary over the globe and is primarily influenced by cloud cover and the Earth’s surface temperature (Anderson, Justus, and Batts, 2001). As expected the highest values of E ′′ occur in tropical and desert regions and decrease with latitude. Increasing cloud cover decreases E ′′ since cloud tops are typically cold and clouds impedes Earth emitted radiation (Anderson, Justus, and Batts, 2001). E ′′ decreases with increasing latitude but does not vary significantly with β (Justus et al., 2001). A decrease in E ′′ near the equator is attributed to increased cloud cover. As with albedo, E ′′ , was determined from the ERBE. The orbital averaged heat flux model for both the hot and cold cases is a combination of the three sources, ′′ = qsol ′′ ,hot + qalb ′′ ,hot + qOLR ′′ ,hot qhot

(5.25)

′′ = qsol ′′ ,cold + qalb ′′ ,cold + qOLR ′′ ,cold . qcold

(5.26)

Substituting the three sources provides

1 ′′ = α ⋅ Shot ′′ ⋅ ⎛⎜ ⋅ (1 − f ) + Fs − E ⋅ ρ alb,hot ⋅ K ⎞⎟ + ε ⋅ Fs − E ⋅ Ehot ′′ qhot ⎝4 ⎠

(5.27)

1 ′′ = α ⋅ Scold ′′ ⋅ ⎛⎜ ⋅ (1 − f ) + Fs − E ⋅ ρ alb,cold ⋅ K ⎞⎟ + ε ⋅ Fs − E ⋅ Ecold ′′ qcold ⎝4 ⎠

(5.28)

for the hot and cold cases, respectively (Justus et al., 2001). As these equations illustrate, the orbital averaged hot- and cold-case extreme external environmental heat loads are a function of altitude, β , i , ρ alb ( 0° ) , E ′′ , and surface properties ( α and ε ). Hot- and cold-case heat fluxes were identified for each surface type and combination of β and i by exhaustively searching over all other

49 applicable variables and finding the extreme (both maximum and minimum) values of Equation (5.27) and (5.28). Results from this analysis are shown in Figure 5.23 through Figure 5.30 for the four surface types.

Figure 5.30: Cold Case Orbital Averaged Extreme Heat Flux (W/m2) versus β and i (Solar Reflector). Hot-case orbital averaged extreme heat flux increases with increasing β until a local maximum is reached and then decreases. This is a direct result of orbital eclipse fractions. As the β increases, eclipse fractions decrease, which increases the orbital averaged direct solar and albedo fluxes. A maximum heat flux is reached at the point where eclipse

53 fractions reach zero. As the β continues to increase, the orbital average cosine solar zenith angle, cos (θ ) , approaches zero and therefore, albedo fluxes diminish. Because of the nature of albedo and OLR values that came out of the ERBE study, three distinct bands of values appear in the hot-case orbital averaged extreme heat flux figures. For a given β , the heat flux generally decreases with increasing i . This is the result of eclipse fractions that cause albedo fluxes to be seen over a portion of an orbit while OLR fluxes are seen over an entire orbit. As a result, OLR fluxes typically dominate albedo fluxes in the orbital averaged model. For large β and thus, small eclipse fractions, this trend is still prevalent since the orbit is near the terminator where albedo fluxes drop off due to the cos(θ ) factor. Cold-case orbital averaged extreme heat flux figures show similar trends to that of the hot case results. The only difference is the relative magnitude of fluxes that were found. The orbital averaged hot- and cold-case extreme external environmental heat load results provide insight into design orbits although they do not take into account the probabilities of occurrence for different combinations of β and i . The next section addresses this issue. 5.3 Hot- and Cold-Case Design Orbits Developed for Robust Thermal Control Subsystems The viable weighting matrix was applied to the orbital averaged heat load results. The use of the viable weighting approach provides a method of examining a subset of hot- and cold-case heat flux information without altering their values. The statistical weighting approach tends to smooth the heat flux information. Critical hot- and cold-case orbital parameters were identified by first applying the viable weighting matrix at a 0.00 threshold to the orbital averaged heat flux models for each of the four surface types. In essence, this method stripped away values that were either not possible (e.g. combinations of β and i ) or not statistically significant (e.g. i that historically have not been utilized). The resulting hot- and cold-case results are shown in Table 5.5. Results for all other threshold values are included in Appendix E. For each hot- and cold-case critical orbit and surface type, a single β was found in combination with a set of i that gave the same orbital averaged heat flux. However, the

54 goal was to define a single pair of β and i for each surface type or possibly for all surface types. As a next step, the threshold was increased for each surface type and hotand cold-case designs until the set of i was narrowed to one value. Table 5.6 provides resulting critical hot- and cold-case orbits for each of the four surface categories. As a result of applying increasing threshold values, the set of i have been reduced to one for the same critical hot- and cold-case heat fluxes from Table 5.5. As shown in Table 5.6, the threshold level needed was very low (0.03) in all cases except for the cold-case solar reflector. These results were verified within 3.2% of values obtained from Monte-Carlo ray tracing software. The results show that critical cold-case orbits occur at β of 0° in all cases. This is not surprising since the largest eclipse fractions occur here. Critical hot-case orbits occur at β of 72° since this is the angle at which eclipse fraction initially becomes zero at an altitude of 350 km.

The altitudes at which critical cold-case orbits were found show interesting characteristics. Intuitively, it is expected that critical cold-case orbits would occur at high altitudes (i.e. 1000 km). This occurs for the flat absorber and solar reflector cold cases since these have relatively high OLR fluxes, which occur irrespective of eclipse fraction. Thus, high altitudes produce lower fluxes due to view factor considerations. For the other two surface types (flat reflector and solar absorber), critical cold-case orbits occur at altitudes of 350 km. This result is caused by the fact that each of these surfaces is driven by albedo fluxes (i.e. absorptivity significantly greater than emissivity). As a result, critical cold-case environments occur when eclipse fractions are the greatest. This occurs at the lowest altitudes. In order to consider the possibility of defining hot- and cold-case orbiting parameters that work well for any surface type, the design orbit parameters determined for each surface type in Table 5.2 were applied to the remaining three surface types. For example, the design hot-case orbit for a flat absorber occurred at β = 72°, i = 52°, Earth IR and albedo value = 3, and an altitude of 350 km. At this combination of orbit parameters, the

56 design hot-case heat flux was determined to be 437.4 W/m2. These same orbit parameters were applied to the flat reflector, solar absorber, and solar reflector surface types. The resulting hot case heat fluxes were determined and compared to the design hot case heat fluxes. Results for the hot-case design orbits are shown in Table 5.7. The percent differences in heat fluxes are in comparison to design values for each surface type and set of orbiting parameters. Average percent differences across the surface types are also given for each unique set of orbit parameters.

As shown in Table 5.7, the average percent error in heat flux by using a single set of hot-case design orbit parameters ( β = 72°, i = 52°, Earth IR and Albedo Values = 3, Altitude = 350 km) is minimal (0.1%). In addition, this single hot-case design orbits provided orbital average heat fluxes within 0.5% of the values determined using design orbits specific to individual surface types. It appears that this combination of orbit parameters could be utilized as a single design point for all surface types including satellites having combined surface properties.

57 A similar analysis was completed for the cold-case design orbits. As shown in Table 5.8, the orbit parameters with the lowest average percent heat flux error corresponds to β = 0° and i = 28° with Earth IR and albedo value = 2 and an altitude of 1000 km. At this design point, the average percent error in heat flux by using a single set of cold-case design orbit parameters is -4.7%. Although still small, this value is notably influenced by the solar reflector results (i.e. percent difference of -9.0%). It could be argued that a separate design cold-case orbit ( β = 0°, i = 74°, Earth IR and Albedo Values = 3, Altitude = 1000 km) should be used for spacecraft with predominantly solar reflector surfaces. If this approach is used then a design cold-case orbit ( β = 0°, i = 28°, Earth IR and Albedo Values = 1, Altitude = 350 km) should be used for all other surface types with a maximum percent difference of -3.4%.

Further analysis indicated that hot- and cold-case design orbits also work well for intermediate surface types. An analysis was conducted for a surface with α = 0.50 and ε = 0.50. The resulting critical hot-case orbit was identical to the design point found

58 previously ( β = 72°, i = 52°, Earth IR and Albedo Values = 3, altitude = 350 km). The critical cold-case orbit was identical to the design point identified for all surface types ( β = 0°, i = 28°, Earth IR and albedo value = 2, altitude = 1000 km). 5.4 Conclusion Single hot- and cold-case design orbits that work well in the design of robust thermal control subsystems over a wide range of satellite surface properties and likely operating environments were determined. A general approach was developed which employed a combination of statistical and historical data such that statistically insignificant orbits were disregarded. From the analysis, a hot-case design orbit was found ( β = 72°, i = 52°, altitude = 350 km) which provided orbital averaged heat fluxes within 0.5% of the values determined using design orbits specific to individual surface types. A general cold-case design orbit was found ( β = 0°, i = 28°, altitude = 1000 km) which provided orbital averaged heat fluxes within 9.0% of the values determined using design orbits specific to individual surface types. If more accuracy is required, two cold-case design orbits were identified. For spacecraft with predominantly solar reflector surfaces, a coldcase design orbit ( β = 0°, i = 74°, altitude = 1000 km) provides minimum orbital averaged heat fluxes. For all other surface types, a cold-case design orbit was found ( β = 0°, i = 28°, altitude = 350 km) which provided orbital averaged heat fluxes within 3.4% of the values determined using design orbits specific to individual surface types. These results were based on a spherical satellite model and therefore, care should be taken when significant departures from this assumption are encountered. This includes both geometric and attitude deviations such as those for a Sun-pointing solar panel. In addition, the design orbits are intended for LEO missions with altitudes in the range of 350 to 1000 km. Consequently, their use for highly elliptic orbits and those with relatively large altitudes is not recommended. The hot- and cold-case design orbits have many potential applications. First, they provide consistent design criteria for the development and comparison of robust thermal control subsystem approaches. In the absence of clearly defined mission criteria, these design orbits also provide a reasonable surrogate. Finally, they are useful for the design

59 of robust spacecraft over a wide range of both satellite surface properties and low Earth orbit operating environments.

CHAPTER 6 - OPTIMAL DISTRIBUTION OF ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS TO BALANCE ENVIRONMENTAL FLUXES

Robust satellites are required to handle a wide variety of missions. As a result, the underlying thermal control subsystem (TCS) must be robust enough to maintain appropriate thermal requirements for satellite components under the most severe (hot and cold) environments. Investigation has revealed that this could best be accomplished with a TCS utilizing an isothermal bus with some level of thermal energy balance control (Young et al., 2008; Shannon III et al., 2008). The isothermal bus concept is an idea focused on approaching a single thermal node satellite representation. In effect, heat is shared efficiently between cold and hot components and as a result, gradients across the satellite are minimized thus reducing temporal variations in temperature. This concept could be achieved in numerous ways. These include embedded heat pipes, integrated pumped fluid loops and integrated high conductivity face sheets such as annealed pyrolytic graphite (APG). One method that has not received much attention is simply optimized component placement. As a first approach, electronic components can be optimally distributed amongst the various exterior spacecraft panels to achieve a more balanced distribution of heat flux. This depends upon panel orientation and the external thermal environmental fluxes placed upon them. Further, components can be optimally located on each panel to more evenly distribute applied fluxes. In combination, these two measures will help reduce requirements for more expensive isothermal bus solutions. Consequently, a computational tool was developed which improves satellite thermal performance through intelligent component placement. Based on orbital-averaged electronic component power and environmental heat fluxes, the tool provides the optimal satellite face and location within that face for all components such that thermal gradients across the satellite are minimized. Results are determined using a two-step process.

61 CHAPTER 6 presents a global distribution optimization strategy to determine the specific satellite face with which a component should be mated. After all component-face pairs are determined, CHAPTER 7 presents a local placement algorithm used to determine specific component locations within each face. Although developed in response to a RS need for isothermal conditions, these methods could also be applied to traditionally designed spacecraft potentially reducing TCS performance requirements. 6.1 Review of Satellite Layout Optimization Approaches Layout optimization is one of the key techniques for improving global performance of satellites (Sun and Teng, 2003). Component placement in satellites is an important design process at the conceptual design stage, since it influences a range of fundamental characteristics of a satellite, and design change in the latter detailed design stage is difficult (Izui et al., 2007). Optimal layout design of a satellite module is a 3-D packing problem with performance constraints and is known to be an NP-hard problem in terms of computational complexity. NP-hard problems cannot be solved in polynomial time and are intrinsically difficult (Jackson and Carpenter, 2004). Polynomial time occurs when the execution time of a computation, t (n ) , is no more than a polynomial function of the problem size, n , and a constant k such that

t (n ) ≤ O( n k ) .

(6.1)

Generally put, polynomial time algorithms are reasonable to compute. An NP-hard problem also has the property that an algorithm for solving it may be translated into one for solving any other problem of similar complexity with only polynomially more work. The NP-hard class includes some of the most difficult types of optimization problems that can be conceived, and problems in NP-hard are said to be presumably intractable. In several studies, the inertial performance of a cylindrical satellite module was optimized through placement of n components. Sun and Teng (2002) utilized a two-stage procedure for component placement; the first step was a genetic-algorithm based solution method for global placement while the second step used ant colony optimization methods to further refine placements. Huo and Teng (2009) analyzed the same problem utilizing a co-evolutionary method with heuristic rules. The layout design of a satellite module was

62 decomposed into three stages: the distribution of the objects among the subspaces, the detailed layout design within the subspaces, and the whole layout scheme design. Chen, Shi, and Teng (2008) examined the same cylindrical layout problem utilizing a differential evolution algorithm with Gaussian-mutation methods. Zeng, Shi, and Teng (2006) solved the same problem utilizing game optimization methods. Izui et al. (2007) formulated a bi-level optimization procedure for inertial optimization of satellites. A genetic algorithm was used in the first step to obtain approximate location of components with a second step using successive quadratic programming to determine detailed component positions. A nine-component problem was studied with the goal of optimizing inertial properties. Langer, Pühlhofer, and Baier (2004) utilized a multi-objective evolutionary algorithm using clustering techniques to divide the population in groups. For each group, a response surface is estimated based on the population at hand and gradient-based optimization is utilized on the response surface. Parallelization was used to improve computational expense. These methods were applied for optimal placement of over 50 components with respect to center of gravity, collision, and functional constraints. Other approaches focused on optimization of payload and sensor locations. Ferebee Jr. and Allen (1991) investigated payload placement in order to optimize inertial properties to reduce propellant budget for gravity gradient-induced momentum desaturations. Jackson and Carpenter (2004) examined the utility of implementing a sun sensor placement optimization tool using a hybrid genetic algorithm. This algorithm combines genetic algorithms with simulated annealing methods. The task of determining sun sensor placement on a spacecraft is generally performed manually, based on prior experience and similarity to previous designs. This type of manual process tends to be highly iterative, consumes valuable time and resources, and generally produces suboptimal results. Jackson and Carpenter (2004) explored the solution of the multi-objective optimization problem that includes as constraints minimizing the number of sun sensors, providing continuous 4π steradian coverage, providing multiple sensor field-of-view overlap everywhere, and minimizing sensor blockage. The sun sensor placement problem is a difficult combinatorial optimization problem that cannot be solved optimally in

63 polynomial time due to the vastness of the solution space. The sun sensor placement problem may be considered as a variant of the classical traveling salesman problem (TSP). In the classical TSP, a salesman must make a complete tour of n cities, visiting each city only once, in the most efficient manner possible (i.e., traveling the least Euclidean distance). No general method of solution is known, and the problem is classified as NP-hard. The literature has shown that layout optimization has been used often to improve satellite performance. However, these approaches have neglected thermal performance. Only Jackson and Norgard (2002) were found to include thermal effects. They utilized multi-disciplinary optimization (MDO) methods to optimize the placement of avionics boxes (satellite components). They considered minimization of interconnections between components and balancing mass between opposite panels. In addition, they considered thermal effects by keeping uniform thermal loading (orbital average power) on each satellite panel. This thermal optimization approach is ideally suited when external environmental heating fluxes are uniform (i.e. the same on each external panel). However, this is not realistic and a more robust approach including the effects of nonuniform external heating environments is needed. 6.2 Numerical Experiment Investigations To investigate the advantages of optimized component distribution, simple numerical experiments were conducted. The focus was to evaluate the merits of redistribution of component power between panels of a common satellite architecture. The remainder of this section details the numerical model used in these experiments, the orbital environmental conditions, experimental approach, and subsequent results. 6.2.1 Numerical Model Details A numerical model was developed consistent with current robust satellite architectures (Arritt et al., 2008). A 1.0 m x 1.0 m x 1.0 m six-sided frame-and-panel construction satellite was used with a honeycomb panel construction having 0.00127 m thick Al 6061-T6 facesheets and a 0.0254 m thick Al 5052 honeycomb material (Figure 6.1). Material properties were based on Gilmore (2002). A uniform heat-flux

64 source was placed on the interior of each panel that represents electrical components with uniform heat flux spreading. Heat generation of all internal components totaled 600 W and was conducted to the panel only (i.e. not coupled through radiation) with a contact conductance of 110 W/m2-K (Gilmore, 2002). Panel to panel conductance was 12 W/K to simulate panel-to-panel longerons and bolted joints (Bugby, Zimbeck, and Kroliczek, 2008). All heat generation was ultimately dissipated to a deep space environment (0 K) through radiation from the exterior of the panel surfaces. Exterior panel surfaces were modeled as a solar reflector ( α = 0.1 and ε = 0.8) for the hot- and cold-case orbits.

Figure 6.1: Illustration of Exterior and Interior of Six-sided Thermal Desktop® Satellite Model. The case study was simulated using Thermal Desktop® as a CAD based interface to the SINDA/FLUINT finite-difference thermal analyzer. Thermal Desktop® and SINDA/FLUINT are widely accepted tools for spacecraft thermal design. All computational analysis was done using a 2.5-gigahertz dual-core processor. A complete description of modeling parameters are included in Appendix F. In order to test the algorithms and evaluate results, a comprehensive set of characteristic component design cases (Case A, B, C, and D) were developed (Figure 6.2). These were developed and based on Williams’ (2005) low-capability (LCB) and high-capability bus (HCB) FACTS approach; a representative military satellite; and Young’s (2008) low-capability (LCB), medium-capability (MCB), and high-capability (HCB) TherMMS concept. Case A was based on the FACTS HCB. Case B is an

65 averaged model based on all six reference missions. Case C is based on the representative military satellite. Case D, a limiting case, is a uniform distribution such that all components will have equal power. For each design case, both component power and number of components were normalized. Normalization provided a way of comparing reference missions on an equal basis and shows a generalized shape or distribution of power versus component number. A curve fit was then applied to each normalized case. The resulting normalized distributions can be scaled in both the x- and y-axes to accommodate various total power and component combinations. These design cases were used as needed. Refer to Appendix G for a detailed explanation of their development.

Figure 6.2: Mathematical Models for Each of Four Design Cases (Refer to Appendix G for a detailed explanation of the design cases). 6.2.2 Orbital Environmental Loads To appropriately test component distributions, an appropriate environmental load is required. Both hot- and cold-case orbital environments were selected based on previous design hot- and cold-case orbits. The environmental parameters are detailed in Table 6.1. These parameters were set within Thermal Desktop® to determine the associated incident direct solar, albedo, and OLR fluxes. Using this model and values from Table 6.1, the incident environmental flux sources were determined for each surface over

66 one orbit. Appendix H Figure H.2 through Figure H.5 show hot- and cold-case results for total, direct solar, albedo, and OLR incident fluxes. Table 6.1: Hot and Cold Case Design Orbit Environmental Parameters. Hot-Case Orbit Cold-Case Orbit Beta Angle

These incident flux values were averaged over one orbit for each surface. The resulting orbital averaged values are shown in Table 6.2. These incident heat flux values were adjusted to account for panel surface properties. For example, a solar reflector surface ( α = 0.1 and ε = 0.8) yields results shown in Table 6.3.

Notably, these values are within 1.1% and 2.5% of the hot- and cold-case design fluxes, respectively (Table 5.7 and Table 5.8). 6.2.3 Hot- and Cold-Case Design Orbit Power Imbalance Case Studies To understand the importance of satellite power distribution, numerical experiments were conducted for a fixed total internal power generation and varying distributions between the six panels. The imbalance in power distribution was expressed relative to an even power distribution (i.e. 100 W per panel) and the impact of the imbalances on temperature differences across the panels was considered. Power was evenly distributed across each panel and the experiments were conducted for both the hot- and cold-case design orbits. Under the hot-case thermal environment with solar reflector external surfaces ( α = 0.1 and ε = 0.8), the +Z panel receives the greatest incident radiation (i.e. direct solar, albedo, and OLR) while the opposite panel (i.e. -Z) receives the least. Therefore, power was shifted between these two panels while the remaining panels each received 100 W. Power imbalance linearly ranged from -1.0 (i.e. 0 W on the –Z panel and 200 W on the +Z panel) up to +1.0 (i.e. 200 W on the –Z panel and 0 W on the +Z panel). Twenty-one imbalance cases were run between these two extremes. For each case, maximum and minimum subsystem temperature along with maximum temperature difference were

68 recorded (Figure 6.3). Temporal variations of temperature for imbalances of -1.0, 0.0, and +1.0 are shown in Figure 6.4 through Figure 6.6.

Under the cold-case thermal environment, the +Z panel receives the greatest incident radiation (i.e. direct solar, albedo, and OLR) while the opposite panel (i.e. -Z) receives the least. Power was shifted between these two panels while the remaining panels each

70 received 100 W. The imbalance of power linearly ranged from -1.0 (i.e. 0 W on the –Z panel and 200 W on the +Z panel) up to +1.0 (i.e. 200 W on the –Z panel and 0 W on the +Z panel). Twenty-one imbalance cases were run between these two extremes. For each case, maximum and minimum subsystem temperature along with maximum temperature difference were recorded (Figure 6.7). Temporal variations of temperature for imbalances of -1.0, 0.0, and +1.0 are shown in Figure 6.8 through Figure 6.10.

Figure 6.7: Maximum and Minimum Subsystem Temperature and Maximum Temperature Difference for Varying Levels of Power Imbalance (Cold-Case Orbit). Although this is a simple experiment trading power between only two of six panels, it does indicate the benefit of optimized component power distribution. Hot-case results showed the best performance (i.e. minimized maximum temperature difference) at an imbalance of +1.0. Consequently, redistribution of power between the –Z and +Z panels reduced temperature differences by 33.3 K, reduced maximum temperature by 13.9 K, and increased minimum temperature by 19.1 K. Cold-case results showed the best performance at an imbalance of 0.4. Compared to worst-case condition at an imbalance of -1.0, optimized component distribution reduced maximum temperature differences by 9.5 K, reduced maximum temperature by 4.5 K, and increased minimum temperature by 5.6 K.

Figure 6.10: Temporal Variation of Temperature for Six Subsystems at Imbalance of +1.0 for the Cold-Case Orbit. Operational requirements typically insist that components are maintained within a range of approximately 40 K (Wertz and Larson, 2005). Consequently, optimized results from this experiment provide reductions in maximum temperature differences of 83.3% and 23.8% of requirements for the hot- and cold-cases, respectively. Some specific components such as energy storage modules require even tighter control, therefore optimized power distribution would have an even greater impact in these cases. A practical alternative to optimized component distribution is an even distribution of power (i.e. 100 W per panel). This approach reduces maximum temperature differences by 25.1 K for the hot-case and 8.1 K for the cold-case experiment. Consequently, evenly distributed power results from this experiment provide reductions in temperature differences of 62.8% and 20.3% of requirements for the hot- and cold-cases, respectively. Thermal performance could also be remedied through properly tuning individual panel surface properties (i.e. reduce or increase environmental loads as needed), but there is a limit to its effectiveness. Surface emissivity can be increased to 1.0 before deployable radiators are required. Consequently, utilizing an optimization tool to appropriately distribute component power across a satellite is important.

Methodology for Distributing Power Among Satellite Panels Consider a satellite panel (i.e. face) i of area, Ai , that receives a uniformly-

′′ ,i , and dissipates energy to the distributed averaged heat load from the environment, qenv surroundings via longwave radiation (i.e. ε i ⋅ σ ⋅ Ti 4 ⋅ Ai ). A total of ni components are placed on each face each with orbital averaged power, Pi , j (1 ≤ j ≤ ni ). Therefore, each face has a total power generation from discrete component sources of

ni

∑P j =1

i, j

which is

assumed to be evenly distributed. The condition of uniform heat flux is addressed by the approach described in CHAPTER 7. Component heat gains occur on one side of the face while environmental heat loads and dissipation occur on the opposite side. Assuming negligible panel thickness, a surface energy balance yields, ni

∑P j =1

i, j

′′ ,i ⋅ Ai = ε i ⋅ σ ⋅ Ti 4 ⋅ Ai . + qenv

(6.2)

Now consider a structure consisting of f faces (1 ≤ i ≤ f ). The goal of the present work is to isothermalize this structure such that the temperature of each face is the same. Further, it is assumed that each face has the same optical properties; therefore, ni

∑P j =1

i, j

′′ ,i ⋅ Ai = ε ⋅ σ ⋅ T 4 ⋅ Ai . + qenv

(6.3)

At isothermal conditions, conductive and radiative coupling between faces can be ignored. Summing equation (6.3) for all faces yields f ⎛ ni ⎞ f ′′ ,i ⋅ Ai ) = ∑ ( ε ⋅ σ ⋅ T 4 ⋅ Ai ) . ⎜ ∑ Pi , j ⎟ + ∑ ( qenv ∑ i =1 ⎝ j =1 i =1 ⎠ i =1 f

Rearranging equation (6.4), provides ⎛ ni ⎞ f ′′ ,i ⋅ Ai ) P ⎜ ∑ i , j ⎟ + ∑ ( qenv ∑ i =1 ⎝ j =1 ⎠ i =1 = ε ⋅σ ⋅ T 4 . f ∑ Ai f

The right-hand-side of equation (6.7) is an average heat flux for the entire satellite considering total environmental and component heat loads for all faces. Setting the righthand-side equal to q′′gain , this equation is simplified and becomes ni

(6.8)

The left-hand-side of the same equation is the average heat flux for a given face. This balance is based on an assumption of isothermality; departure from this balance will generate temperature non-uniformities across the structure. Assuming environmental heat sources for any face and panel size are constant, all variables in equation (6.7) are fixed except for the distribution of components. f

The goal of the present work is optimizing the distribution of N = ∑ ni components i =1

over the f faces such that the heat flux resulting from environmental and component sources approaches the average flux value of the entire satellite. That is, we want to identify the distribution of components over the discrete panels such that, 2 ⎡ ⎛ ⎛ ni ⎞⎞ ⎤ f ⎢ ⎜ Pi , j ⎟⎟ ⎥ . min ⎢ ∑ ⎜ q′′gain − ⎜ ∑ = j 1 ⎜ ′′ ,i ⎟⎟ ⎟ ⎥ ⎜ A + qenv ⎢ i =1 ⎜ ⎟ ⎥ i ⎝ ⎠⎠ ⎦ ⎣ ⎝

(6.9)

75 This discrete problem quickly becomes unwieldy as the number of panels and components grow. The number of possible panel-component combinations is O( f N ) . For a six-sided satellite with 36 components, this becomes ~1.0E28 potential combinations. One class of methods that appears suitable for handling this problem is bin-packing methods. 6.4 Bin-Packing Problems Bin-packing problems involve placing objects of different values (e.g. volumes) into a finite number of bins. They are an extension of traditional packing problems that involve determining the optimal layout of a certain set of objects placed within a larger container (usually 2 or 3 dimensions). Traditionally, the goal of bin-packing is to place the objects in order to minimize the number of bins used. As with traditional packing, application of bin-packing is broad and diverse. It has been used in conjunction with genetic algorithms for optimal loading of multiple parts into the build cylinder of a rapid prototyping machine (Lewis et al., 2005). It has been used in operations research for line balancing (Falkenauer and Delchambre, 1992). Line balancing involves taking a given set of tasks of various lengths and constraints (i.e. some tasks require other tasks to be completed first) and determining how the tasks should be distributed over workstations (i.e. assembly line) so that cycle times are minimized. Another area where bin-packing is utilized is in production scheduling. Traditionally, these methods are used to optimize such tasks as storage of goods or allocation of products, but other approaches focus on the quality of a product. In one work, binpacking was utilized to allocate different part types in an ion plating batch process in order optimize the quality of coating (Chan et al., 2007). In general, these problems fall in the category of NP-hard (Békési, Galambos, and Kellerer, 2000). Due to the difficulty of solving packing problems, several solution methods exist. Many of these focus on one-dimensional bin-packing problems. The goal of the onedimensional bin-packing problem is to pack a given set of items with different sizes into a minimum number of equal-sized bins. Several methods have been developed to solve this type of problem including heuristic approaches.

76 Several heuristics exist which provide placement strategies that can provide satisfactory results. The main strategies include next-fit, first-fit, best-fit, and worst-fit strategies (Scholl, Klein, and Jürgens, 1997), which can be categorized by class or the order in which items are packed. On-line algorithms process information item by item. That is, the algorithms do not have any knowledge of the order in which the items will be processed. Conversely, off-line algorithms first build an order of the items before processing. Order can be simply non-increasing or non-decreasing order of value (i.e. weight or size) (Scholl, Klein, and Jürgens, 1997). In the next-fit strategy, the first item is packed into the first bin. Subsequent items are placed in this bin until the remaining capacity is insufficient for placing the next item. The next item is placed into the next bin and the process is repeated. The off-line and on-line next-fit algorithms have time complexities of O( n ) and O( n log n ) , respectively. The first-fit strategy places each subsequent item to a partially filled bin with the smallest index with sufficient capacity. If not available, it is placed into a new bin. The on-line and off-line first-fit heuristics can both take time O( n log n) . In the best-fit approach, each subsequent item is placed in the partially filled bin with the smallest sufficient residual capacity. When multiple bins have equal residual capacities, the item is placed in the bin with the smallest index. As with first-fit heuristics, the time complexity for the on-line and off-line best-fit versions is

O( n log n ) . The worst-fit algorithm is the opposite of the best-fit approach, where items are placed in the partially filled bin with the largest sufficient residual capacity. The time complexity of the worst-fit heuristics is the same as with best-fit methods. The minimum bin slack approach attempts to find a set of items, which can be placed into a bin most efficiently (Gupta and Ho, 1999). This has also been referred to as the subset sum heuristic (Caprara and Pferschy, 2004). Fleszar and Khalil (2002) developed several derivatives including a relaxed, perturbation, and sampling minimum bin slack method. Most published algorithms have computational requirements of O( n log n ) , but much work has been done to reduce these time complexities. These include a group fit heuristics approach (Johnson, 1974), on-line heuristics (Ramanan et al., 1989), and the H4

77 and H7 approaches of Martel (1985) and Békési, Galambos, and Kellerer (2000), respectively. Other alternative approaches include branch and bound procedures (Martello and Toth, 1990) and a hybrid procedure, consisting of several heuristics, reduction procedures, and branch and bound procedures (Scholl, Klein, and Jürgens, 1997). In addition, linear programming approaches have been utilized to solve cutting stock problems (Valério de Carvalho, 2002). Another approach is to utilize genetic algorithms in combination with heuristic approaches. Iima and Yakawa (2003) developed a genetic algorithm, which utilizes the first-fit and minimum bin slack method into crossover operations. Results showed that the accuracy of the methodology was better than the approaches developed by Fleszar and Khalil (2002) and Scholl et al. (1997). Other genetic algorithms developed for binpacking include those of Chan et al. (2007), Falkenauer and Delchambre (1992), and Lewis et al. (2005). Other approaches have been developed for packing problems with unequally-sized bins. The variable sized bin-packing problem is NP-hard and occurs when bins of different capacities are available for packing a set of items. Correia, Gouveia, and Saldanha-da-Gama (2008) provide a literature review of variable sized bin-packing problems. Although past work on this subject is relatively scarce, they found work which minimized the total capacity of the bins used (Friesen and Langston, 1986), greedy algorithm approaches (Kang and Park, 2003), branch and bound approaches (Monaci, 2002), and column generating techniques for both one-dimensional (Belov and Scheithauer, 2002; Alves and de Carvalho, 2007) and two-dimensional problems (Pisinger and Sigurd, 2005). The problem presented here is a variable sized bin-packing problem where bin size is proportional to face area (Figure 6.12) with two significant differences. First, ‘overflow’ (i.e. filling a bin past q′′gain ) is allowed. Thermal penalties are the same if a bin is over- or under-filled (i.e. too hot or too cold, respectively). Second, the resulting heat flux contribution of a component is dependent upon which bin it is placed. For example, an item placed on a larger face will yield a smaller heat flux than if it was placed on one that

78 was smaller. As a result, power for a given component is ‘poured’ into a given bin as shown in Figure 6.12.

Figure 6.11: Illustration of Bin-Packing Methodology for Optimized Component Distributions. The problem considered in this chapter involves determining the best approach to filling bins using a discrete number of components. The solution produces the order and location of components that are ‘poured’ into the bins. To solve this unique problem, a genetic algorithm approach with heuristics was developed. 6.5 Genetic Algorithm Genetic algorithms (GA) are often utilized as a tool for determining a global optimum solution. GAs are stochastic optimization methods inspired by natural evolution where individuals represent a feasible solution in the search space. GAs require three basic processes: encoding, fitness evaluation, and evolution. 6.5.1 Encoding Encoding is the process by which a particular potential solution is represented. In keeping with the vernacular of a genetic algorithm, a chromosome is utilized. For this particular problem, the chromosome (i.e. solution) represents the placement of all components. The chromosome for a particular solution with n components is portrayed in Figure 6.12.

Figure 6.12: Chromosome Representation.

79 The population of solutions for any generation, g , consists of popmax number of unique chromosomes. The goal is to determine which of these chromosomes provides the best solutions to the problem and how best to create new generations of solutions given an initial population. 6.5.2 Fitness Evaluation A fitness function assigns a figure of merit to each encoded solution (i.e. chromosome). For the problem at hand, the figure of merit is based on the distribution of components over the available faces. That is, a fitness function, fit , was created which calculates the sum-of-squares between the average heat flux resulting from the f environmental and N component heat sources over all satellite surfaces and the average flux on an individual face based on the orbital averaged environmental flux along with the components placed upon it. Thus, the fitness function becomes 2

⎛ ⎛ ni ⎞⎞ f Pi , j ⎜ ′′ ∑ ⎜ ⎟⎟ . fit = ∑ ⎜ qgain − j =1 ⎜ ′′ ,i ⎟⎟ ⎟ i =1 ⎜ ⎜ A + qenv ⎟ i ⎝ ⎠⎠ ⎝

(6.10)

Equation (6.10) shows that fitness is a function of the environmental heat sources on each panel along with panel dimensions and component powers. Studies were conducted to determine the relationship between fitness and thermal performance. At each of three discrete maximum component numbers ( N = 18,36,54 ), uniformly powered components (Case D) totaling 300 W were randomly distributed over the satellite previously described in the case study. For each unique distribution, fitness, maximum temperature difference between faces, and maximum/minimum face temperature were determined using the model for the hot-case orbit study. The results of these 120 tests are summarized in Figure 6.13 and Figure 6.14. These figures clearly show a proportional relationship between thermal performance and fitness values. For this particular example, the figures show that the proposed fitness value is a good measure of thermal performance in terms of uniform heat dissipation and achieving an isothermal structure.

Figure 6.14: Maximum and Minimum Temperature versus Fitness for Increasing Number of Components. 6.5.3 Evolution Evolution is a crucial component in which new generations of solutions are developed and influences the efficiency by which improved solutions are discovered. For a given generation, g , the number of potential solutions (i.e. chromosomes) is equal to

81 popmax . Using these solutions, various evolutionary techniques are used to populate the

next generation, g + 1 . Methods borrowed from biological and sociological concepts were implemented that include elitist strategies, reproduction, and mutation. In addition, best-fit and worst-fit techniques were used to improve the capability of finding optimum solutions. Figure 6.15 illustrates the process of creating a new generation from the previous one utilizing these five techniques. The following subsections describe these techniques in more detail.

Figure 6.15: Illustration of Evolution Techniques Used to Obtain a Fully Populated New Generation of Solutions. 6.5.3.1 Elitist Strategies Elitist strategies involve copying some of the best chromosomes from one generation to the next. They have an advantage over traditional reproductive genetic algorithms in that the best solution is guaranteed to be monotonically improving. For any given generation, the chromosomes are sorted from best to worst according to their normalized fitness function. Then, the top Pb percent of a population is selected and carried over to the next generation. 6.5.3.2 Reproduction The next Pr percent of any given generation are created utilizing reproduction techniques. Reproduction occurs when two parent chromosomes are selected and are utilized to create an offspring. The methods for parent selection vary considerably and

82 can include both random and non-random algorithms. A biased roulette wheel (i.e. proportional selection) approach similar to the methods of Leung, Chan, and Troutt (2003) is utilized in the present study. The goal of this method is to determine a relative fitness, fitrel ,s , for each chromosome (1 < s < popmax ) in a population as illustrated by fitrel ,s =

1 − fits popmax

∑ 1 − fit i =1

.

(6.11)

In this approach, normalized fitness for each chromosome in a population is determined. The chromosomes are then sorted from best (lowest) to worst (highest) normalized fitness. Each of the normalized fitness values are subtracted from one to ensure that lower (i.e. more optimized) values receive a higher weight. Each resulting value is divided by the sum of all values to obtain relative fitness. Then the interval [0,1] is partitioned into n subintervals each equal to the relative fitness of a chromosome. Thus, chromosomes with the best fitness (i.e. lowest value) maintain the largest subintervals while those with the worst fitness maintain relatively small subintervals. Upon completion of this step, two random numbers [0,1] are chosen (one for each parent). Chromosome selection is based on the subinterval a random number falls into. Thus, this method favors those chromosomes with higher fitness for parent selection. Once the parents are selected, a random integer [1, 2 ⋅ n ] is generated to select a splice point for each parent. Thus, all genes to the left of this point for the first parent and those to the right for the second parent are combined to create a child (Figure 6.16).

Figure 6.16: Illustration of Reproduction Methods.

83 As previously discussed, the creation of each child by this method is biased towards parents of better fitness. The remaining population of each new generation is obtained through mutation techniques. 6.5.3.3 Best- and Worst-Fit Placement Best- and worst-fit placement are heuristics used to place a given order of components into available bins (i.e. face). In this algorithm, Pbf and Pwf percent of the next generation are created using best-fit and worst-fit methods, respectively. For each, a queue consisting of a randomly generated order is used to determine the next component available for placement. Best-fit placement puts the component in the bin such that the resulting flux for that bin is closest to the average for the structure. Worst-fit placement puts a component in the bin such that the resulting flux for that bin is smallest. Best- and worst-fit heuristics are also utilized to generate four solutions to the initial population. These include ascending-order best- and worst-fit placement along with descending-order best- and worst-fit solutions. 6.5.3.4 Mutation Mutation is the process by which random alterations to genetic materials are allowed to pass onto future generations. This technique is critical in ensuring that the algorithm does not become stuck in local minima. If all chromosomes of a population are similar, reproduction and local-gradient search techniques will only provide similar solutions at each iteration. Mutation allows for drastic changes in chromosomes. In this algorithm, Pm percent of the next generation is created using mutations which are created by randomly generating new chromosomes. It should be noted that Pb + Pr + Pbf + Pwf + Pm = 1 . 6.6 Genetic Algorithm Tuning The ability of the genetic algorithm to find an optimal solution and the required computational effort both depend on parameters of the algorithm. As a first step in investigating algorithm performance, both stopping criteria and population size were examined.

84 6.6.1 Analysis of Convergence Criteria and Population Size The algorithm populates successive generations until convergence. The algorithm compares the best solution for a given generation to one obtained in the previous generation. If the difference is less than 10-4, a counter is incremented by one and a new generation is created. This tolerance is small enough to capture the redistribution of a component that is 0.01% of total component power over a 6 m2 satellite (e.g. the case study structure). If not, the counter is reset to zero. Convergence criteria are reached when a given best solution is not improved beyond the tolerance over end max generations. An experiment was conducted to determine the effect of end max on both resulting fitness values and the time required to achieve these values. The algorithm was tested at three unique component power distributions (Case A, Case C, and Case D) and 11 different values of end max (1, 10, 25, 50, 100, 250, 500, 1000, 2500, 5000, and 10000). In addition, population size, popmax , was chosen to be a linear function of the number of components, m ⋅ N . Values of m included 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9. At each combination of parameters, 10 runs were conducted which would provide insight into any variability between runs. Consequently, 1,650 different algorithm runs were completed. Fitness values and computational time were plotted versus end max as shown in Figure 6.17 through Figure 6.19 and versus the linear multiplier, m , in Figure 6.20 through Figure 6.22. As these figures show, increasing end max had little impact on fitness. Only for Case C-18 did it have any noticeable effect and even in this case the improvement was ~0.2%. Increasing m did not have any noticeable impact on fitness. However, increasing these parameters significantly increased required computational time. As a first approach, setting end max and m equal to 1 would seem appropriate. For the cases that were analyzed, this would provide optimal results except for Case C-18 with minimized computational time. However, this limits the optimization routine to a simple rule-based approach and the full capability of the algorithm is not utilized. Although this appears appropriate for the cases considered here, it might not be for cases not considered.

Figure 6.22: Fitness and Computational Time versus Population Multiplier for Component Distribution D with 18, 36, and 54 Total Components in the Hot-Case Design Orbit (Case D-18, Case D-36, Case D-54). Consequently, the results were analyzed with the aim of finding a combination of these parameters, which had a relatively low computational expense and still allowed the utilization of all capabilities of the algorithm. This was achieved by investigating the interaction between end max and m . For example, small end max combined with large m values could act similarly to a combination of large end max and small m . Case C-18 was

88 examined to determine the combination of parameters that most consistently found the lowest fitness values with minimum computational expense. Results showed that a combination of end max = 2500 and popmax = 1 provided good performance at reasonable computational expense. Over 10 runs, this combination consistently (10 of 10) found solutions better than the heuristic solutions. On average, computational expense was 1.9 seconds with maximum and minimum run times of 3.0 and 0.8 seconds, respectively. It should be noted that for the cases considered, a strictly rule-based approach provided reasonable results for the least computational expense. 6.6.2 Evolution Parameter Tuning A study was conducted to determine the effect of evolution parameters (i.e. Pb , Pr , Pbf , Pwf , Pm ) on performance and computation requirements. For Case C-18 at

300 W of total component power in the hot-case environment, each evolution parameter was varied while the remaining parameters were set equal to each other. At each combination of parameters, 10 runs were conducted which would provide insight into any variability between runs. At discrete values of the evolution parameters, the resulting converged fitness and computation time requirements were recorded and plotted versus one another (Figure 6.23 through Figure 6.27).

Figure 6.27: Normalized Fitness versus Computation Time for Increasing Values of Mutation Parameter. Pm The results provide little evidence that general rules of thumb can be established for evolution parameter values that provide the best results. It does appear that the highest values of the elitist, reproduction, and best-fit parameters do not lead to as good results as lower values. It also appears that an even distribution of these parameters (i.e. 0.2 each) provides reasonable fitness values with low computational time. It should be noted that fitness value differences are relatively small (~ 0.2%) and therefore, even appropriately

91 tuned parameters have little effect on solutions. Consequently, an even distribution of these parameters was deemed appropriate. 6.7 Algorithm Demonstration To demonstrate the tuned algorithm, the Case C distribution for 18, 36, and 54 components was applied to the previously described case study parameters in the hot-case thermal environment. Since the solution algorithm is stochastic in nature, the tuned algorithm was run 99 times in order to provide insight into any variability between runs. Results from the 99 runs are shown in Table 6.4. Computational requirements, on average, are expected to be approximately 12 seconds or less for up to 54 components using a 2.5 gigahertz dual-core computer. The maximum computational requirements are expected to be less than approximately 22 seconds for up to 54 components using the same machine. The thermal performance was also evaluated over the 99 runs. For the maximum, minimum, and median fitness results, the maximum temperature difference between components was evaluated utilizing Thermal Desktop® and summarized in Table 6.4. Thermal performance results varied less than 0.3 K between maximum, minimum, and median fitness values.

*Based on maximum, minimum, and median fitness numbers Optimized distributions were compared to even and worst-case distributions for the Case C component distribution for 18, 36, and 54 components in the hot-case environment for 600 W of total component power. An even distribution was generated by running the optimization algorithm assuming uniform environmental fluxes on all faces. A worst-case distribution was obtained by applying all component power to the +Z face.

92 The resulting thermal performance for these cases is also shown in Table 6.5. The optimized distribution provided a reduction in maximum temperature difference of 12.8 to 13.1 K over even and 84.3 to 84.9 K over worst-case component distributions. Note that due to slight variations in total power between cases, the worst-case distribution results are not constant.

94 case orbit were found for total power of 100 W up to 1200 W. The resulting maximum and minimum temperatures were generated utilizing Thermal Desktop® and shown in Figure 6.31. On average, optimized component distributions reduced maximum temperatures by 5.4 K over evenly distributed components. Maximum and minimum temperature reductions were 8.2 K (at 400 W) and 2.8 K (at 100 W), respectively. Optimizing component distribution increased minimum temperatures by 7.1 K, on average, over evenly distributed components. Maximum and minimum temperature increases were 9.3 K (at 400 W) and 5.7 K (at 1200 W), respectively.

The tool is based on a genetic algorithm utilizing a combination of elitist strategies, reproduction, best- and worst-fit heuristics, and mutation. A tuning study revealed appropriate convergence criteria, population size, and values for evolution parameters. Computational requirements are small; on average, approximately 12 seconds was required using a 2.5 gigahertz dual-core computer for 54 components over a six-sided structure. The maximum computational requirements are expected to be less than approximately 22 seconds for up to 54 components using the same machine. Optimized, even, and worst-case distributions for Case C-36 in the hot-case orbit were found for total power of 100 W up to 1200 W. On average, optimized component distributions reduced maximum temperatures by 5.4 K over evenly distributed components. Optimizing component distribution increased minimum temperatures by 7.1 K, on average, over evenly distributed components. Finally, optimized component distributions reduced maximum temperature differences by 12.6 K, on average, over

96 evenly distributed components. The largest and smallest maximum temperature difference reductions were 17.8 K (at 400 W) and 9.5 K (at 100 W), respectively.

CHAPTER 7 - OPTIMAL PLACEMENT OF ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS TO MINIMIZE HEAT FLUX NON-UNIFORMITIES

The methodology outlined in CHAPTER 6 was used to identify the specific satellite face that each component must be placed for optimized thermal performance. However, optimal locations within each face were not provided. The current chapter details a local placement algorithm used to determine specific component locations within each face. Although developed as an integral part of a satellite component placement optimization tool, this approach has other applications. Electronic devices have permeated almost every aspect of modern society. Examples are numerous and include those that are conspicuous (e.g. computers) to those that are not (e.g. satellites). Because of our ever-increasing dependence on the services they provide, we expect future electronic products to have improved reliability and increased performance. Developing reliable electronic components requires placing them within an acceptable thermal environment. This challenge is compounded by the fact that we require more capable and therefore more powerful devices in ever-decreasing package sizes. Consequently, both power and power density values have consistently increased; several studies have indicated that microprocessor power doubles approximately every three years (Mahajan et al., 2000; Mahajan et al., 2002; Krishnan et al., 2007; Moore, 2003) while satellite raw power doubles every five to six years (Hoeber and Kim, 2000). Realizing acceptable thermal conditions can be achieved through a combination of technology and design. For instance, Young et al. found that a robust satellite thermal control subsystem (TCS) could be achieved, in part, with an isothermal bus. The isothermal bus concept is a novel idea focused on approaching a single thermal node satellite representation. In effect, heat is shared efficiently between cold and hot components and as a result, gradients across the satellite are minimized, thus reducing temporal variations in temperature. This concept could be achieved in numerous ways

98 including embedded heat pipes, integrated pumped fluid loops, and integrated high conductivity face sheets such as annealed pyrolytic graphite (APG). One method that has not received much attention is simply optimized component placement; however, it has been studied for a wide-range of other applications. 7.1 Review of Component Placement Optimization Methods Quinn and Breuer (1979) provide one of the earliest attempts at optimized component placement for printed circuit boards (PCBs). In their study, they utilized a Hooke’s Law-like attractive and repulsive force between components. A solution routine was utilized to find component placement that approaches net zero forces on each component. These components are then expanded to fit a discrete set of component placement locations. Huang and Fu (2000) expanded the conventional force-directed placement technique by Quinn and Breuer and renamed it the thermal force-directed method. Net forces between chips are related to the magnitude of the chip’s power dissipation (i.e. larger power dissipation results in larger repulsive forces). Simultaneous linear equations are solved to determine equilibrium locations for thermal placement. The objective is to reduce heat density and evenly distribute power dissipation. They found their method produced better results than other methods including the quadrisection (QD) method of Lee and Chou (1996). Lee and Chou focused on tradeoffs between optimizing wireability and reliability. A hierarchical design was utilized. Components with higher heat dissipation rate were evenly distributed using a recursive quadrisection algorithm. This helped reduced maximum temperature and temperature variation on the substrate. A force-directed algorithm was then used to optimize wireability. Some studies have focused on discrete component locations. Although these optimization problems could be handled with combinatorial optimization methods, this becomes intractable (i.e. large computational effort) with increasing component numbers. Eliasi, Elperin, and Bar-Cohen (1990) utilized two stochastic heuristic optimization methods (simulated annealing and cluster optimization) in order to optimally place up to 100 components amongst a fixed number of discrete locations on a PCB. A few works have proposed using Genetic Algorithms (GAs). Jeevan et al. (2005) were the first to utilize GAs as an optimization tool for chip placement in multi-chip

99 modules (MCMs) and PCBs. They used a coarse finite element meshing scheme to calculate the temperature distribution on MCM and PCBs along with a GA to find the optimal position of power generating components/chips. Their discretized approach limited placement locations (non-continuous); but is based on physical properties (i.e. the GA fitness value is temperature). They found they were able to obtain better thermal distribution over QD approaches. In addition, their GA optimization runs required 2-4 minutes of CPU time (600MHz Pentium) to converge. Madadi and Balaji (2008) used GAs to find optimal placement of three discrete heat sources that could be placed continuously within a ventilated cavity and cooled by forced convection. The solution scheme utilized artificial neural networks using a Bayesian regularization algorithm to predict fitness while the GA was used to find optimal location. The capability of the GA was tested using a Rastrigin’s function. In a study by Suwa and Hadim (2007), component placement about a convectively cooled PCB is optimized simultaneously for thermal and electrical performance. Component junction temperatures are predicted using artificial neural networks (ANNs) combined with superposition methods. Two GAs are implemented in a cascade for efficient operation. The first is a coarse thermal optimization; the second is a fine thermal optimization. In this study, each component had a different size, thermal resistance, and amount of heat generation. In addition, the optimization scheme allowed for continuous placement across the domain. Queipo and Gil (2000) focused on optimal placement of conductively and convectively cooled electronic components subject to thermal (i.e. failure rate dictated by Arrhenius relation) and non-thermal (i.e. total wire length) optimization criteria. Temperatures and therefore failure rate was estimated using a nodal heat balance approach. Some approaches were based heavily on specific thermal conditions (i.e. temperature, thermophysical properties) and provide good results. Others take a relatively long time to generate results. The present approach provides a fast method for determining reasonable component placement that approaches a uniform distribution of heat flux without the use of thermophysical properties. This approach is especially useful in situations where limited or no thermophysical and environmental conditions are

100 readily available for the problem at hand and can be utilized in a variety of industries including microelectronics and satellite development. 7.2 Numerical Experiment Investigations To investigate the advantages of optimized component placement, simple numerical experiments were conducted. The focus was to evaluate the merits of rearrangement of components within a common satellite architecture panel. The remainder of this section details the numerical model used in these experiments, experimental approach, and subsequent results. 7.2.1 Numerical Model Details To investigate the advantages of optimized component placement, a case study was developed consistent with current robust satellite architectures (Arritt et al., 2008). A single 1.0 m x 1.0 m honeycomb panel was used with 0.00127 m thick Al 6061-T6 facesheets and a 0.0254 m thick Al 5052 honeycomb material. Material properties were based on Gilmore (2002). Multiple heat-generating components, each with a contact area of 10 cm x 10 cm, were attached to one side of the panel. Heat generation of all components totaled 100 W and was conducted to the panel only (i.e. not lost through radiation) with a contact conductance of 110 W/m2-K (Gilmore, 2002). All heat generation was ultimately dissipated to a deep space environment (0 K) through radiation from the bottom surface of the panel with an emissivity of 1.0. The case study was simulated using Thermal Desktop® as a CAD based interface to the SINDA/FLUINT finite-difference thermal analyzer. Thermal Desktop® and SINDA/FLUINT are widely accepted tools for spacecraft thermal design. All computational analysis was done using a 2.5 gigahertz dual-core processor. 7.2.2 Component Placement versus Thermal Conductivity To illustrate the advantages of optimized component placement, a simple parametric study was developed. Four evenly-powered components were symmetrically placed on a panel at varying offset values. Offset, defined as the distance each component symmetrically travels from the center, was increased from 0.00 m up to 0.40 m (Figure 7.1). For each placement, the thermal conductivity of the panel facesheets was

101 varied from 100 up to 10,000 W/m-K while keeping the remaining properties unchanged. Due to symmetry, all components maintained the same temperature, but the maximum component temperature varied because of different placements and panel thermal conductivities. The objective is then to minimize local hot spots (i.e. component temperatures) in order to approach isothermal conditions.

Figure 7.1: Illustration of Component Placement for Offset Values of a) 0.00 m; b) 0.10 m; c) 0.20 m; d) 0.30 m; and e) 0.40 m. Results of this parametric study show maximum component temperature at steady state for varying levels of offset and thermal conductivity (Figure 7.2). Figure 7.3 provides the same results over a smaller range of temperature and conductivity. These figures show that reduced maximum component temperatures can be achieved through improved component placement, increased thermal conductivities, or a combination of the two. The advantage of the approach presented here is the relatively low cost in implementation as opposed to other approaches that are technology based.

Methodology Consider a rectangular domain with dimensions w and h upon which n

components are placed. Each component has a distinct averaged power, Pj which is dissipated to the domain only (i.e. not radiated to the surroundings). Therefore, the average heat flux, q′′ , of all components over the domain is found from n

q′′ =

∑P j =1

j

w⋅h

.

(7.1)

In order for each component to achieve this average heat flux, it must evenly distribute heat over an area proportional to its power. This effective area, Aj , is calculated for each component by Aj =

Pj . q′′

(7.2)

The sum of these effective areas equals the area of the rectangular domain as described in the following:

103 n

Pj Pj ∑ j =1 = w⋅h . Aj = ∑ = ∑ q′′ j =1 j =1 q′′ n

n

(7.3)

The effective areas are assumed circular in shape since heat should be spread evenly in all directions. Therefore, this relationship is illustrated in Figure 7.4 for a threecomponent system.

Figure 7.4: Illustration of Relationship Between Rectangular Domain and Resulting Effective Circular Area. The effective radii of each effective area is found by

rj =

Aj

π

.

(7.4)

The goal of the present work is placing the effective areas (i.e. components) within the rectangular domain in a manner that evenly spreads heat flux. For an arbitrary placement within the domain, intersections result (i.e. overlapping green areas) between effective areas and between an effective area and the area outside of the domain (Figure 7.5).

Figure 7.5: Arrangement of Components with Circular Effective Areas in a Domain. An optimum arrangement would be one in which no intersection is encountered and therefore the average heat flux over the entire domain is uniform. Due to the circular

104 shape of the effective areas, this is not possible and thus the challenge becomes how to arrange these components such that the area of intersection is minimized. The inspiration for the solution to this problem was found in packing problems. 7.4 Packing Problems Packing problems involve determining the optimal layout of a certain set of objects placed within a larger container (usually 2 or 3 dimensions). The container and objects can take a variety of shapes including circles, squares, rectangles and other irregular shapes. The goal of these problems is typically to maximize packing efficiency (packing density). The application of packing problems is broad and diverse. In some industries (textile, glass, wood, paper, etc.), packing equal or unequal circles into a two dimension rectangular container without overlap is often encountered. The objective is to maximize material utilization (i.e. minimize scrap) and becomes an NP-complete problem (Huang et al., 2005). Other applications include: placing radio towers in a geographical region such that the coverage is maximal with minimal interference, determining the smallest box necessary to pack a given number of bottles and planting trees in a given region as to maximize foliage density but also allowing the trees to grow up to their maximum size (Szabó et al., 2007) In three dimensions, these types of problems have medical applications. Given a set of spheres and a three-dimension bounded region, fill the space with a minimal set of spheres and maximizing the occupied volume. This NP-hard problem coincides with the Gamma Knife treatment of tumor and vascular malformations within the head (Li and Ka-Lok, 2003). The literature shows several types of packing problems. One of the most prevalent is circle packing in either a circular or square domain. This NP-hard problem, typically involves situations upon which overlap is not allowed. Markót (2004) developed a new interval branch-and-bound algorithm that was used to solve the previously unsolved problem of packing 28 equal circles in a unit square without overlap. This was extended when Markót and Csendes (2005) utilized interval methods to determine the optimal packing of 28, 29, and 30 equal circles in a square

105 domain without overlap. Markót (2007) later completed the optimality proofs for these cases by determining all optimal solutions with mathematical rigor. For an exhaustive overview of circle in square packing without overlap, Szabó et al. (2007) provide an exhaustive overview. The placement of equal circles would result if all components had equal power values. More appropriate for the problem at hand (i.e. component placement) involves placing unequal circles in a domain. For unequal circle packing, several works are available. Wang et al. (2002) utilized an adaptive algorithm of the Tabu search for determining optimum packing of unequal circles in a larger containing circle without overlap. This method was improved by Huang and Chen (2006) by accelerating the search process. Addis, Locatelli, and Schoen (2008) approached this problem by mixing local and global optimization strategies with random search and local moves. Rule based methods are also prevalent. Huang et al. (2006) proposed two heuristics in order to solve the problem. In addition, Huang et al. (2005) proposed two greedy algorithms for solution of placing unequal circles in a rectangular container: a maximum-hole degree rule and self-look-ahead search strategy. One of the significant challenges of these types of problems is getting ‘trapped’ in local minima. Xu and Ren-Bin (2006) approached this problem by periodically reinitializing circle positions to avoid being trapped in these local minimums and utilized simulated annealing algorithms as an acceptance policy. Experimental results showed that their approach achieved good performance in terms of solution quality and computational time. Lü and Huang (2008) also used a simple heuristic (e.g. principle of maximum cave degree for corner-occupying actions) and coupled this to a Pruned– Enriched-Rosenbluth Method (PERM) algorithm. When looking ahead at all possible orders of packing the circles, PERM provides a strategy to prune the branches with low weights and enrich those with high weights. Other packing problems that have been investigated include: rectangles in a square (Caprara et al., 2006), irregular packing (Bennell and Dowsland, 1999 and 2001) spheres in a tetrahedron (Li and Ka-Lok, 2003) and bin-packing (Caprara, Lodi, and Monaci, 2005; Csirik et al., 2000).

106 Due to the difficulty of solving packing problems, several solution methods exist. One such method is interval analysis which is used extensively to solve the equal circle packing problem. Genetic algorithms have been utilized to determine the most efficient packing order for a set of unequal shapes. Combined with placement heuristics, such as ‘bottom left’ (BL), these approaches have attained good results. Hopper and Turton (1999) and Gonçalves (2007) used these methods for packing rectangular objects in a rectangular domain. Simulated annealing approaches also provide viable solution methodologies for these types of problems. Several works have combined the efforts of genetic algorithms with simulated annealing in order to prevent the premature convergence of the solution method. Leung, Chan and Troutt (2003) utilized these hybrid approaches for minimizing trim loss in cutting rectangular pieces from a rectangular domain. This approach was also taken by Soke and Bingul (2006) when they applied genetic algorithms, simulated annealing with an improved bottom left algorithm. A novel approach was developed by Mahanty et al. (2007). In this work they utilized both a genetic algorithm and a hybrid approach using a genetic algorithm and a local optimization algorithm based on a Coulomb potential model. The hybrid approach was found to give better results although computationally more expensive. 7.5 Genetic Algorithm As previously discussed, packing problems similar to the type encountered here are often difficult to solve due to the presence of local minima. As a result, genetic algorithms (GA) are often utilized as a tool for determining a global optimum solution. GAs are stochastic optimization methods inspired by natural evolution where individuals represent a feasible solution in the search space. GAs require three basic processes: encoding, fitness evaluation, and evolution. 7.5.1 Encoding Encoding is the process by which a particular potential solution is represented. In keeping with the vernacular of a genetic algorithm, a chromosome is utilized. For this particular problem any chromosome (i.e. solution) is a representation of the x j and y j

107 coordinates of each component. Since there are a total of n components, the chromosome for a particular solution is portrayed by the following:

Figure 7.6: Chromosome Representation. For the evaluations presented in this thesis, components were allowed to freely move to more optimized locations. However, in some instances some of the components will have fixed positions. This scenario is achievable using the algorithm presented here by simply fixing the x and y location for that particular component and optimizing the remaining components. The population of solutions for any generation, g , consists of

popmax number of unique chromosomes. The goal is to determine which of these chromosomes provides the best solutions to the problem and how best to create new generations of solutions given the initial population. 7.5.2 Fitness Evaluation A fitness function assigns a figure of merit to each encoded solution (i.e. chromosome). For the problem at hand, the figure of merit is directly related to the intersections amongst the effective areas of the components. That is, a fitness function,

fit , was created which calculates the intersection of the effective areas between all components. For two arbitrary effective circular areas, the fitness function is notated by the following:

fit[ Ai , Aj ] = Ai ∩ Aj .

(7.5)

Three distinct cases are isolated with this fitness function: 1) no intersection, 2) full intersection and 3) partial intersection. As expected, Case 1 occurs when two effective areas do not intersect. In this case the fitness function between these two components would be zero. Case 2 occurs when the smaller effective area lies fully inside the larger. In this case the fitness function would be equal to the smaller effective area. The first two cases were easily handled, but Case 3 provides some difficulty. Here, the two effective

108 areas have partial intersection. The intersection area was derived based on geometric principles. The resulting figure of merit, fit[ Ai , Aj ] , is shown as follows: 2 2 2 ⎛ d 2 + ri 2 − rj2 ⎞ 2 ⎛ ⎞ −1 d i − j − ri + rj cos Ai ∩ Aj = ri 2 ⋅ cos −1 ⎜ i − j r + ⋅ ⎟ ⎜ j ⎜ 2⋅d ⋅r ⎟ ⎜ 2 ⋅ d ⋅ r ⎟⎟ i− j i i− j j ⎝ ⎠ ⎝ ⎠. 1 ( − d i − j + ri + rj )( d i − j + ri − rj )(d i − j − ri + rj )(d i − j + ri + rj ) − 2

(7.6)

Extending this to n components required sweeping through and summing the fitness function for all possible pairs of effective areas. Therefore, the total fitness is found by cycling through all combinations of components; therefore, 2

1

fit[ A1 ,..., An ] = ∑ ∑ [ Ai ∩ Aj ] .

(7.7)

i = n j =i −1

The maximum fitness will occur when all effective circles lie coincident with one another in the domain corner. This is the limiting worst case and the intersection is given by n 3 n fitmax = ∑ (i − 1) ⋅ Ai + ⋅ ∑ Ai . 4 i =1 i =2

(7.8)

The fitness is then normalized by dividing by the maximum value

fitnorm =

fit[ A1 ,..., An ] . fitmax

(7.9)

After normalization, the maximum fitness becomes 1.0 while the minimum is a nonzero (due to the circular effective area assumption) number. Studies were conducted to determine the relationship between normalized fitness and thermal performance. At each of six discrete maximum component numbers ( n = 3,6,9,12,15,18 ), components were randomly placed over the honeycomb panel of the case study previously described. For each unique placement, normalized fitness, maximum temperature difference between components, and maximum component temperature were recorded. The results of these 240 tests are summarized in Figure 7.7 and Figure 7.8.

109

Figure 7.7: Maximum Temperature Difference versus Normalized Fitness for Increasing Number of Components.

Figure 7.8: Maximum Temperature versus Normalized Fitness for Increasing Number of Components. These figures clearly show a linear relationship between thermal performance and fitness values. This is especially apparent for larger numbers of components (i.e., larger values of n ). For this particular example, the figures show that the proposed normalized

110 fitness value is a good measure of thermal performance in terms of uniform heat dissipation and achieving an isothermal panel. 7.5.3 Evolution Evolution is a crucial component in which new generations of solutions are developed and influences the efficiency by which improved solutions are discovered. For a given generation, g , the number of potential solutions (i.e. chromosomes) is equal to

popmax . Using these solutions, various evolutionary techniques were implemented to populate the next generation, g + 1 . Methods borrowed from biological and sociological concepts include elitist strategies, reproduction, and mutation. In addition, steepestdescent gradient search techniques were used to improve the capability of finding optimum solutions. Figure 7.9 illustrates the process of creating a new generation from the previous one utilizing these four techniques. The following describes these techniques in more detail.

Figure 7.9: Illustration of Evolution Techniques Used to Obtain a Fully Populated New Generation of Solutions. 7.5.3.1 Elitist Strategies Elitist strategies involve copying some of the best chromosomes from one generation to the next. They have an advantage over traditional reproductive genetic algorithms in that the best solution is guaranteed to be monotonically improving. For any given generation, the chromosomes are sorted from best to worst according to their normalized

111 fitness function. Then, the top Pb percent of a population is selected and carried over to the next generation. 7.5.3.2 Reproduction The next Pr percent of any given generation are created utilizing reproduction techniques. Reproduction occurs when two parent chromosomes are selected and are utilized to create an offspring. The methods for parent selection vary considerably and can include both random and non-random algorithms. A biased roulette wheel (i.e. proportional selection) approach similar to the methods of Leung, Chan and Troutt (2003) is utilized. The goal of this method is to determine a relative fitness, fitrel ,s , for each chromosome (1 < s < popmax ) in a population as illustrated by

fitrel ,s =

1 − fitnorm ,s popmax

∑ 1 − fit i =1

.

(7.10)

norm ,i

In this approach, normalized fitness for each chromosome in a population is determined. The chromosomes are then sorted according to this value from best (lowest) to worst (highest). Each of the normalized fitness values are subtracted from one to ensure that lower (i.e. more optimized) values receive a higher weight. Each resulting value is divided by the sum of all values to obtain relative fitness. Then the interval [0,1] is partitioned into n subintervals each equal to the relative fitness of a chromosome. Thus, chromosomes with the best fitness (i.e. lowest value) will maintain the largest subintervals while those with the worst fitness will maintain relatively small subintervals. Upon completion of this step, two random numbers [0,1] are chosen (one for each parent). Chromosome selection is based on the subinterval a random number falls into. Thus, this method favors those chromosomes with higher fitness for parent selection. Once the parents are selected, a random integer [1, 2 ⋅ n ] is generated to select a splice point for each parent. Thus, all genes to the left of this point for the first parent and those to the right for the second parent are combined to create a child (Figure 7.10).

112

Figure 7.10: Illustration of Reproduction Methods. As previously discussed, the creation of each child by this method is biased towards parents of better fitness. The remaining population of each new generation is obtained through mutation techniques. 7.5.3.3 Local Gradient Searches It was found that improved solutions can be achieved using local search techniques. A specified percent of solutions for any given generation, Pg , were determined based on a gradient based local search routine. Recalling the definition of the problem, we have n components placed in a rectangular domain with dimensions w by h . Each component

is characterized by several variables including effective radii, rj . The placement of each component is defined by two-dimensional coordinates ( x j , y j ), such that the optimization problem is 2 ⋅ n dimensional. The free variables were defined as

x = x1 ,..., xn {x j : 0 ≤ x j ≤ w, j = 1, n}

(7.11)

y = y1 ,..., yn { y j : 0 ≤ y j ≤ h, j = 1, n} .

(7.12)

A fitness function assigns a figure of merit to each encoded solution (i.e. chromosome). For the problem at hand, the figure of merit was directly related to the intersections amongst the effective areas of the components. That is, a fitness function, fit , was created which calculated the intersection of the effective areas of all components by

113 2

1

fit[ A1 ,..., A n ] = ∑ ∑ [ Ai ∩ Aj ] .

(7.13)

i = n j =i −1

Therefore, the objective function for the local search routine is the fitness function that is a function of the x j , y j locations of the components. For notation simplicity, the objective or fitness function will be referred to as f ( x, y ) . Therefore, the gradient of

f ( x, y ) is a 2 ⋅ n dimensional vector ⎛ ∂f ⎞ ⎜ ∂x ( x, y ) ⎟ ⎜ 1 ⎟ ⎜ ∂f ⎟ ⎜ ∂y ( x, y ) ⎟ ⎜ 1 ⎟ ∇f = ⎜ ⎟. ⎜ ∂f ⎟ ⎜ ( x, y ) ⎟ ⎜ ∂xn ⎟ ⎜ ⎟ ⎜ ∂f ( x, y ) ⎟ ⎜ ∂y ⎟ ⎝ n ⎠

(7.14)

An arbitrary solution (i.e. chromosome) consists of the x j , y j locations for all components. For a given generation, g , this vector was denoted by s g . Peng, Thompson, and Li (2002) proposed a formulation of the steepest-descent method defined by

s g +1 = s g − η ⋅ c ⋅ ∇f (s g ) .

(7.15)

In this formulation,η , is a damping factor which is chosen depending on the objective function. For this problem, η was set to 1 although other values could be used to potentially improve performance. The variable c is a step size chosen to minimize the norm of the corresponding local gradient (i.e. method of steepest-descent). In traditional approaches to this algorithm, iterations are utilized to ‘walk’ towards to local minima. If c is sufficiently small, convergence can be guaranteed.

In the current method, a single step approach is utilized to improve algorithm performance. This is accomplished by finding the value of c which minimizes the norm

114 of the local gradient. Utilizing the previous notation, x 0j , y 0j defines the locations of the components at point 0. Expanding the Taylor Series about this point yields f ( x, y ) = f 0 ( x, y ) +

∂f ∂f ( x, y )( x1 − x10 ) + ... + ( x, y )( yn − yn0 ) ∂x1 0 ∂yn 0

.

(7.16)

As proposed by Peng and Thompson (2002), this expression was simplified by

∂2 f neglecting the ‘mixed’ second order partial derivative terms, , {i ≠ j} , ∂xi ∂x j ∂2 f ∂2 f , {i ≠ j} and ,{i ≠ j} . The resulting expression is given as ∂xi ∂y j ∂yi ∂y j n ⎡ ⎤ ∂f ∂f f ( x, y ) ≈ f 0 ( x, y ) + ∑ ⎢ (x, y )( xi − xi0 ) + ( x, y )( y j − y 0j ) ⎥ ∂y j j =1 ⎢ ∂x j ⎥⎦ 0 0 ⎣

According to Peng and Thompson (2002), the local minimum of a smoothly continuous function is characterized by zero first-order derivatives or a zero norm gradient. A step size, c , should be chosen such that the local gradient is minimized for each move. Each move can be rewritten as r = −cb such that

where T = ⎡ bT − c ( Mb ) ⎤ = bT − cbT MT . ⎣ ⎦

Substituting, this becomes

[ b − Mcb]T [b − Mcb] = ⎡⎣bT − cbT MT ⎤⎦ [b − Mcb] .

(7.33)

[ b − Mcb]T [ b − Mcb] = bT b − 2cbT Mb + c 2bT M 2b .

(7.34)

= b T b − b T M c b − c b T M T b + c b T M T Mcb

Therefore,

Taking the first derivative with respect to c and setting this equal to zero yields ∂ ( bT b − 2cbT Mb + c 2bT M 2b ) ∂c

= −2bT Mb + 2cbT M 2b = 0 .

Therefore, each solution can be improved utilizing this approach by determining the step size, c , and updating component locations utilizing Equation (7.15). This subroutine was tested by placing five uniform components within a domain and developing improved solutions using only the local gradient search method. The results of component placement - indicated by the circles - both in a corner and center of a domain are shown in Figure 7.11.

Figure 7.11: Illustration of Local Gradient Searches for Five Components Initially in a Corner and in the Center. This figure shows the outline of the effective areas of each component for incremental generations. The local gradient search subroutine appears to spread the heat flux over a domain and thus work towards optimal solutions. To illustrate the impact of local gradient searches on the path to solution, the placement of 18 uniformly powered components were optimized over a square domain and the resulting minimum normalized fitness value was tracked over 10,000 generations.

118 This was done for Pg of 0.0, 0.01, and 0.10 with the remaining evolution parameters set equal to one another. The results are plotted in Figure 7.12. This plot readily shows the impact of local gradient searches. For even a modest introduction of this approach (i.e. Pg = 0.01), the path to solution is greatly improved.

Figure 7.12: Illustration of Normalized Fitness versus Generation Number for Three Levels of Pg (0.0, 0.01, and 0.10). 7.5.3.4 Mutation Mutation is the process by which random alterations to genetic materials are allowed to pass onto future generations. This technique is critical in ensuring that the algorithm does not become stuck in local minima. If all chromosomes of a population are similar, reproduction and local-gradient search techniques will only provide much of the same. Mutation allows for drastic changes in chromosomes. In this algorithm, Pm percent of the next generation is created using mutation which are simply created by randomly generating new chromosomes. 7.6

Genetic Algorithm Tuning The ability of the genetic algorithm to find an optimal solution and the required

computational effort both depend on parameters of the algorithm. As a first step in

119 investigating algorithm performance, both stopping criteria and population size were examined. Next, evolution parameters were investigated to determine their optimal proportion such that Pb + Pr + Pg + Pm = 1 . All tuning criteria were based on a Case D component distribution. 7.6.1 Convergence Criteria The algorithm populates successive generations until convergence. The algorithm compares the best solution for a given generation to one obtained in the previous generation. If the difference is less than 10-4, a counter is incremented by one and a new generation is created. If not, the counter is reset to zero. Convergence criteria are reached when a given best solution is repeated for end max generations in succession. An experiment was conducted to determine the effect of end max on both resulting normalized fitness values and the time required to achieve these values (Figure 7.13 and Figure 7.14)

Figure 7.13: Normalized Fitness versus Number of Repeating Solutions Before Convergence for Increasing Number of Components.

120

Figure 7.14: Time versus Number of Repeating Solutions Before Convergence for Increasing Number of Components. As these figures show, increasing end max improves the final solution but increases the time required to obtain it. Through inspection, an end max value of 500 was selected to minimize solution time without sacrificing accuracy. 7.6.2 Population Size Population size, popmax , for each generation was chosen to be a linear function of the number of components, m ⋅ n . The value of m was varied from 3 up to 9. It was found that increasing this parameter had little if any impact on results for large n but slightly increased the computation time required to obtain these results. For small n , increasing this parameter had the opposite effect; it improved results but had no noticeable effect on computation time. Therefore, a population size of 50 was utilized. This value was approximately the minimum population size that was considered for a large number of components (i.e. m ⋅ n = 3 ⋅ 18 ) and greater than the maximum population size considered for a small number of components (i.e. m ⋅ n = 9 ⋅ 3 ). 7.6.3 Evolution Parameter Tuning A study was conducted to determine the effect of evolution parameters (i.e. Pb , Pr , Pg , Pm ) on performance and computation requirements. For a uniform 18-

component problem (i.e. Case D), each parameter was varied from 0.01 up to 0.90 while

121 the remaining parameters were made equal to each other. At these discrete data points, the resulting normalized fitness and computation time requirements were recorded and plotted versus one another (Figure 7.15 through Figure 7.18).

Figure 7.17: Normalized Fitness versus Computation Time for Increasing Values of Local Gradient Parameter Pg .

Figure 7.18: Normalized Fitness versus Computation Time for Increasing Values of Mutation Parameter Pm . The results illustrate general ranges of each parameter that provide relatively low normalized fitness and time values. Specific parameter values were identified by preferentially selecting those that provide minimum normalized fitness. These occur at values of Pb = 0.475; Pr = 0.475; Pg = 0.250; and Pm = 0.100. Since the sum of these parameters must be equal to 1, these were normalized to values of Pb = 0.365; Pr = 0.365; Pg = 0.200; and Pm = 0.070. Evolution parameter tuning was completed on

123 an 18-component system. However, it is found that these tuned values provide satisfactory results for other component numbers. 7.7 Algorithm Demonstration Applying the tuned algorithm to the case study, 18 uniformly powered components were optimally placed. Total power was 100 W (i.e. each component is 5.5 W). Figure 7.19 shows the placement results from the algorithm after 18.5 s of computation time and Figure 7.20 gives two-dimensional temperature distributions utilizing Thermal Desktop®. Utilizing the optimized component placement, the resulting maximum and minimum temperatures were 212.4 K and 210.3 K, respectively. In addition, 11 non-uniformly powered components (i.e. 20.3, 17.3, 14.6, 12.2, 10.0, 8.1, 6.3, 4.7, 3.3, 2.1, and 1 W) were optimally placed. Figure 7.21 shows the placement results from the algorithm after 6.5 s of computation time and Figure 7.22 gives twodimensional temperature distributions utilizing Thermal Desktop®. Utilizing the optimized component placement, the resulting maximum and minimum temperatures were 231.8 K and 204.1 K, respectively.

The tool is based on a genetic algorithm utilizing a combination of elitist strategies, reproduction, local gradient searches, and mutation. A tuning study revealed appropriate convergence criteria, population size, and values for evolution parameters. Optimized results were obtained for 18 uniform and 11 non-uniform components within 20 s and 7 s, respectively, using a 2.5 gigahertz dual-core processor. Advantages of this method include no need for thermophysical properties and boundary conditions. Optimized results are obtained using only component averaged power and domain size. Consequently, this approach is ideally suited to situations where limited information is readily available. In addition, limiting the required inputs provides for relatively fast solutions. However, care should be taken to ensure that a uniform distribution of fluxes is required for optimized placement. Due to low computational expense and limited required information, it could be used to initialize optimization problems not requiring uniform flux distributions (e.g. edge cooled panels). Additionally, this approach does not consider shape and size of components. Therefore, deviations from symmetric shapes

126 (e.g. rectangular components with high aspect ratios) could be problematic not only in terms of the thermal solution but also interference issues. These challenges aside, this robust and fast approach can be utilized in a variety of applications including microelectronics and satellite development and is especially suited to those demanding low computational expense.

CHAPTER 8 - DEVELOPMENT AND EVALUATION OF REDUCED ORDER SATELLITE THERMAL MODELS

Evaluating satellite thermal control subsystem (TCS) performance can be done through physical and/or computer experiments. Although physical experiments provide empirical evidence, they can be expensive. Significant costs can be incurred during fabrication (i.e. time and money) and once built, results are limited by the time it takes to complete all experiments. Additionally, physical experiments are limited by the flexibility of a test setup; consequently, parametric studies can be challenging. Computer experiments are an attractive option to overcome the challenges of physical experiments. Constructed correctly, computer experiments can easily accommodate parametric studies and are only limited by processing power. They are especially useful during design stages, although they too have inherent costs. Development of a nominal satellite thermal model can take days to weeks to develop with run times on the order of hours. Comparing and evaluating multiple TCS approaches, especially important in early design stages, amplifies these timelines. Considering the myriad TCS design approaches available, computational expense can become unwieldy. For example, consider a TCS design with five design parameters of interest each evaluated at 10 levels. Evaluating each combination of parameters at all levels would require 1.0E5 simulations. At 30 minutes per simulation, this would take over 5 years of computational time. Consequently, there is a need for the development of reduced order satellite models that can capture the effect of a high-resolution computer experiments without incurring significant computational expense. Reduced order models can then be used to evaluate different TCS approaches and provides a relatively quick means of evaluating design trade-offs. This chapter investigates reduced-order modeling approaches for satellite TCS evaluation. Along the way, this work examines satellite thermal performance for a wide-

128 range of TCS approaches of particular interest to AFRL. Consequently, an evaluation of these different TCS approaches is provided. 8.1 Methodology A satellite TCS approach is a combination of thermal technologies, thermal design variables, and inherent bus characteristics. Each specific TCS approach bridges the gap between input conditions (e.g. environmental fluxes, component characteristics) and resulting thermal performance (Figure 8.1). Satellite thermal performance can include metrics such as maximum/minimum component temperatures and maximum temperature difference between components. The TCS dictates the allowable range of input conditions that will meet a given set of thermal performance requirements.

Figure 8.1: Illustration of Relationship between Input Conditions, TCS Approach, and Thermal Performance. A design of experiments (DOE) evaluation approach was initially utilized to capture these interactions. The approach began by analyzing a wide range of input conditions, thermal design variables, and thermal technologies. The relative importance will vary and therefore, factor screening was used to investigate these effects. Given the relatively large number of factors to investigate, a factorial design approach was chosen as an evaluation tool. Factor screening was conducted using a 2k full-factorial approach. Full-factorial results were also used to develop reduced order satellite thermal models. Full-factorial based reduced-order models are ideally suited for extreme design values; however, their performance is limited at interior design points. Consequently, an

129 additional approach, based on space-filling designs, was utilized to develop reducedorder models. The following sections provide an overview of these approaches. First, an overview of the numerical model is presented followed by a discussion of the full-factorial screening analysis. Finally, an evaluation of reduced-order models, based on space-filling designs is presented. 8.2 Numerical Model Details A numerical model was developed consistent with current robust satellite architectures (Arritt et al., 2008). A 1.0 m x 1.0 m x 1.0 m six-sided frame-and-panel construction satellite was used with a honeycomb panel construction having 0.00127 m thick Al 6061-T6 facesheets and a 0.0254 m thick Al 5052 honeycomb material (Figure 8.2).

Figure 8.2: Illustration of Exterior and Interior of Six-sided Thermal Desktop® Satellite Model Detailing Multiple Components on Each Face. Material properties were based on Gilmore (2002). The satellite is nadir facing and has 36 components with a Case C power distribution (Case C-36). As a result of realistic space limitations of individual panels, the number of components per face was limited to six. However, the power distribution and component layout on each face were determined using the optimization routines. Each component was modeled as a uniform heat flux source on the interior of each panel. All heat generation was ultimately dissipated to a

130 deep space environment (0 K) through radiation from the exterior of the panel surfaces. Table 8.1 summarizes these fixed modeling parameters. Table 8.1: Summary of Fixed Numerical Model Parameters. Factor

131 Computer experiments were run using Thermal Desktop® as a CAD based interface to the SINDA/FLUINT finite-difference thermal analyzer. Thermal Desktop® and SINDA/FLUINT are widely accepted tools for spacecraft thermal design. Before computer experiments were run to evaluate the 11 factors, a complete analysis of the modeling parameters was conducted to ensure that simulation noise was minimized. Modeling parameters included the number of orbital simulations, nodal resolution, Monte-Carlo rays per node, and number of orbital positions. The results of these analyses can be found in Appendix F. Numerical model results (response values) were based on second-orbit temperature versus time values obtained for each of the 36 components. Responses include: maximum temperature, minimum temperature, maximum temperature difference, maximum panel temperature difference, and isothermal maximum/minimum temperatures. Descriptions of each are provided here. •

MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE (Tmax): Maximum second-orbit temperature reached by any component.



MINIMUM TEMPERATURE (Tmin): Minimum second-orbit temperature reached by any component.



MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE DIFFERENCE (Tmaxd): Maximum temperature difference reached between any two components at any second-orbit time.



MAXIMUM PANEL TEMPERATURE DIFFERENCE (Tmaxd_p): Maximum temperature difference reached between any two components on the same panel at any second-orbit time.



ISOTHERMAL MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE (Tiso_max): Maximum secondorbit temperatures reach by an equivalent isothermal structure. The isothermal structure was modeled as a single-node satellite and thus simulates a satellite with infinite bus conductance.



ISOTHERMAL MINIMUM TEMPERATURE (Tiso_min): Minimum secondorbit temperatures reach by an equivalent isothermal structure. The isothermal structure was modeled as a single-node satellite and thus, simulates a satellite with infinite bus conductance.

132 According to Young (2008), a robust RS TCS can be developed, in part, through an isothermal bus architecture. Consequently, reducing Tmaxd through technology improvements is critical and therefore, was the focus of the analyses presented here. 8.2.1 Description of Factors The following sections describe each of these 11 factors. Additionally, a description of the low- and high-values is included. The range over which the variable factors were evaluated were based on typical expected technology ranges. 8.2.1.1 Orbit Hot- and cold-case orbit parameters were based on well-defined orbital parameters and include specific altitudes, β , and heating rate factors (Hengeveld et al, 2009). The details of this work can be found in CHAPTER 5. 8.2.1.2 Total Component Power Total component power was modeled at two levels. At the high level, the total component power is 600 W, which is of similar magnitude to RS mission performance requirements for LEO missions (470 W) (ORSBS-001, 2007). Heat generation of all internal components was conducted to the panel only (i.e. not coupled through radiation). Low-level power was modeled at 10% of maximum (60 W) which is used to model ‘survival power’ conditions. Williams (2005) used a value of 50 W in his work. 8.2.1.3 Component Dimension Component footprint was varied between two levels: 10 cm x 10 cm and 20 cm x 20 cm. These values provide a typical range of component footprint sizes. 8.2.1.4 Component Interface Heat Transfer Coefficient The interface heat transfer coefficient between components and panels was varied from 110 W/m2-K to 700 W/m2-K. The lower value approximates bare interface contact between components and panel (Gilmore, 2002). The high level, providing an approximately 7x increase, was a target value by Hafer et al. (2008).

133 8.2.1.5 Facesheet Material Transverse Thermal Conductivity Facesheet transverse thermal conductivity was varied from 170 W/m-K to 1,000 W/m-K. The low value is typical of Aluminum 6061-T6 facesheet while the upper value is similar to the transverse thermal conductivity of k-Core. 8.2.1.6 Heat Pipes Embedded heat pipes were modeled at two levels: 0 and 10 per panel. Traditional heat pipe construction was used. The staff at Advanced Cooling Technologies was consulted to determine typical heat pipe modeling parameters. Based on discussion, 10 0.9525 cm (0.375 in) heat pipes per panel each with a vapor core of 0.5080 cm (0.200 in) diameter were selected. The evaporator and condenser heat transfer coefficients were set at 11,356 W/m2-K and 5,678 W/m2-K, respectively. Conductance between heat pipes and panel construction was included by applying a heat transfer coefficient (HP_IC) of 20,000 W/m2-K (2 W/cm2-K). Values above the design value provide minimal improvement as described by Bugby et al. (2010). 8.2.1.7 Panel-to-Panel Conductivity The low value of panel-to-panel conductance was selected to be 12 W/K to simulate panel-to-panel longerons and bolted joints (Bugby, Zimbeck, and Kroliczek, 2008). A panel-to-panel conductivity of 36 W/K was selected and simulates improved panel-topanel thermal performance. 8.2.1.8 Surface Solar Absorptivity and Longwave Emissivity Satellite exterior conditions were varied based on solar absorptivity and longwave emissivity. These parameters were applied to all panels. Individual exterior panel modifications were not pursued due to computational expense. Optical property bounds used for developing a reduced order satellite model were evaluated. Emissivity bounds were based on current AFRL research efforts (i.e. 0.100 < ε < 0.900). Based on these emissivity values, absorptivity bounds were evaluated. As a first approach, a first-order approximation based on hot- and cold-case design orbits was completed. The raw environmental flux values for hot- and cold-case orbits are shown in Table 8.3.

Based on these orbital-averaged fluxes, both a hot-case and cold-case energy balance were created. The energy balance was based on a 1 m x 1 m cubic satellite (i.e. 6 m2 of dissipating area). However, the hot- and cold-cases include 600 W and 60 W, respectively, of internal energy dissipation to account for components. The resulting energy balance was completed for a range of absorptivities and emissivities. For each combination of optical properties, the resulting balance temperature was calculated and plotted in Figure 8.3 and Figure 8.4.

Figure 8.3: Cold-Case Orbit Energy Balance Results.

135

Figure 8.4: Hot-Case Energy Balance Results. These figures illustrate a range of absorptivity values (i.e. 0.123 < α < 0.561) that provide for an orbital-averaged balance temperature of 20°C over the range of emissivity values (i.e. 0.100 < ε < 0.900). However, these figures do not illustrate the range of temperatures that will occur over an orbit for these combinations of surface optical properties. For example, a combination of surface optical properties of α = 0.561 and ε = 0.900 yields an orbital-averaged balance temperature of approximately 20°C, but the temporal variations are still unknown. 8.2.1.9 Global Component Distribution and Local Component Placement Global and local component placement were modeled at two distinct levels. Consequently, four component placement cases arise. Figure 8.5 provides an illustration of these four cases for select surfaces in the cold-case orbit with surface properties of α = 0.123 and ε = 0.100. 1) Nominal Global Distribution / Nominal Local Placement – Globally, component power is evenly distributed between panels. Therefore, the same power is provided to each panel regardless of its interaction with space. Locally, components are symmetrically placed across each panel. For six components per panel, a 3x2 array of components were placed on each panel.

Locally, optimization routines were run to optimally place components on each panel. 3) Optimized Global Distribution / Nominal Local Placement – Globally, optimization routines were run to optimally distribute components among six panels. Locally, components were evenly spread across each panel. For six components per panel, a 3x2 array of components were placed on each panel. 4) Optimized Global Distribution / Optimized Local Placement – Globally, optimization routines were run to optimally distribute components among six

137 panels. Locally, optimization routines were run to optimally place components on each panel. Resulting global and local optimal distribution and placement values were subsequently updated as shown in Table I.1 through Table I.18 in the Appendices. These distributions and locations were based on hot- and cold-case environmental fluxes as shown in Table I.19 through Table I.22. 8.3 Full-Factorial Screening Analysis Full-factorial screening designs investigate all possible combinations of factor levels. The work presented here examined 11 factors. Consequently, 2,048 cases were simulated (211). The following provides a screening analysis based on the results of these simulations. As mentioned previously, of critical importance is minimizing maximum temperature differences across satellites (i.e. approaching an isothermal bus). Consequently, results and discussion are based on Tmaxd. 8.3.1 Main Effects versus Tmax Response Variable factors were first evaluated by examining the impact each factor has on response. Main effects, the difference between factor means at high and low levels, provide a typical means of evaluating the impact of a given factor (Lenth, 1989). The +

main effect of ORBIT is a function of its mean at the high level, ORBIT , and low level, −

ORBIT , is shown by +



ORBIT = ORBIT − ORBIT .

(8.1)

Results, shown in Table 8.4, were developed using the statistical packages Minitab 15 and JMP 8. Minitab 15 results, including effects and their absolute value, were used to develop all figures in this work. JMP 8 provided the pure statistical analysis and includes contrasts, Lenth statistic, and resulting p-values. Contrasts are merely half of the effect values and provide the framework for developing Lenth t-Ratios and resulting p-values. Computer experiments typically do not have any experimental error due to replication. Consequently, traditional statistical approaches are not well suited to evaluating results. Lenth’s method provides a formal approach for the analysis of

138 unreplicated factorials (e.g. deterministic computational experiments). It relies on simple formulas in determining standard error of contrast estimates (Lenth, 1989). Within this procedure, the m contrast values, c1 , c2 ,...cm , corresponding to the m = 2k − 1 factor effects are considered normally distributed random variables with potentially different means but equal variances. Lenth (1989) defined a pseudo-standard random error, PSE, as shown here: PSE = 1.5 × median c j

(8.2)

c j < 2.5× so

so = 1.5 × median c j .

(8.3)

The PSE is then used to generate a ‘t-like’ statistic which is commonly referred to as the Lenth statistic as shown in tLenth , j =

cj PSE

.

(8.4)

For the current data, a PSE of 0.07757 was found. Lenth suggested using a t-statistic with m/3 degrees of freedom as an approximate reference distribution to this statistic.

However, it was found that this does not work well (Ye and Hamada, 2000). Ye and Hamada (2000) proposed generating a set of m estimated contrasts from a normal distribution and calculating a Lenth statistic (i.e. Equation (8.4)) for each. This process is repeated n times (e.g. JMP 8 uses a Monte Carlo simulation with n = 10,000 runs), which provides an approximation of the Lenth distribution. P-values can then be obtained by comparing the Lenth statistics from the contrasts in question to this distribution. P-values can then be used as a guide in selecting important factors. Table 8.4 shows that these 11 main effects have small p-values based on Lenth’s method analysis. Consequently, each factor has a significant impact on Tmaxd. For example, improving facesheet conductivity from 170 W/m-K to 1,000 W/m-K will reduce Tmaxd, on average, by approximately 33 K for the cases considered here. However, it should be noted that although total power was found to have a significant pvalue, the overall impact is quite small (~0.33 K).

A pareto chart of these effects is shown in Figure 8.6 and illustrates the relative impact each factor has on satellite Tmaxd. Figure 8.6 shows that external absorptivity, facesheet transverse thermal conductivity, orbit, and global distribution of components have the most significant impact on Tmaxd based on overall averages of all simulations.

140 Factor effects for the first four factors are plotted in Figure 8.7. The figure indicates that these main effects are based on bulk averages of the complete set of computer simulations. All main effect plots are included in Appendix J. It is therefore important to investigate interaction effects to provide improved understanding of these factors.

141 8.3.2 Interaction Effects versus Tmaxd Response Although the main effects can be a good indicator of relative performance of factors, it is important to investigate their interaction. For example, the response of a given factor might be significantly impacted by the level of another factor. Consequently, the interaction effects were examined further. Interaction effects describe the average difference of a targeted factor at two levels of a secondary factor. For example, the interaction effect of TOT_PWR and ORBIT (i.e. ORBIT*TOT_PWR) is the difference between the main effect of ORBIT at the high level of TOT_PWR (i.e. TOT _ PWR + ) and low level of TOT_PWR (i.e. TOT _ PWR − ). This is shown in +

142 Similar to main effects results, this table includes interaction effect, absolute interaction effect, contrast, Lenth statistic, and resulting p-value. Table 8.5 shows that these interaction effects are also significant based on their small p-values. Consequently, each combination of these factors plays an important part in influencing Tmaxd. For example, moving from the cold-case to hot-case orbit has an effect of increasing Tmaxd by approximately 12 K over the range of external absorptivities (i.e. 0.123 to 0.561). Consequently, it was noted that external absorptivity was the most significant factor impacting Tmaxd; however, this impact is more significant for the hot-case orbit than the cold-case. A pareto chart of the first 15, in magnitude, interaction effects is shown in Figure 8.8 and illustrates the relative impact each factor has on satellite Tmaxd. Additionally, the first four interaction effects are plotted in Figure 8.9. All interaction effect plots are included in Appendix J.

144 •

ORBIT: Averaged over all simulations, changes in LEO orbital properties will produce a maximum increase of 22.6 K in Tmaxd. Improvements in facesheet thermal conductivity and decreasing external absorptivity can help reduce these values. Additionally, higher power satellites will be more orbit insensitive due to the fact that the ratio of heat loading from components to that of environmental sources becomes greater.



TOT_PWR: Total power, on average, has little effect on Tmaxd. On average, increasing total power from 60 W to 600 W has an effect of reducing Tmaxd by 0.33 K.



C_DIM: Increasing component dimensions from 0.1 x 0.1 m to 0.2 x 0.2 m decreases localized heat fluxes. Consequently, Tmaxd is reduced, on average, 7.7 K.



C_I_CND: Component interface conductance reduces Tmaxd, on average, by 7.7 K when increased from 110 to 700 W/m2-K. Its impact is more effective with increases in overall bus power but diminished by increased component dimensions.



F_T_CND: Facesheet transverse thermal conductivity has a significant impact on Tmaxd. Increasing from 170 to 1,000 W/m-K will reduce Tmaxd by 32.9 K averaged over all simulations. This impact is more apparent for the hot-case orbit and is improved with improvements in panel-to-panel conductivity.



HT_PIPE: The addition of heat pipes reduces Tmaxd by 8.5 K. As expected, its impact is reduced with improved facesheet conductivity.



P2P_CND: Panel-to-panel conductivity will reduce Tmaxd by 6.2 K. Interestingly, the impact is improved with improved facesheet conductivity.



EXT_ABS: External absorptivity has the most significant impact on Tmaxd. Increasing its value from 0.123 to 0.561 will increase Tmaxd by 54.6 K. These effects are more significant in the hot-case orbit and reduced for higher-power bus designs. The impact of external absorptivity can be significantly reduced by increasing facesheet conductivity and increasing surface emissivity.

145 •

EXT_EMS: Increasing external emissivity from 0.1 to 0.9 will reduce Tmaxd by 7.9 K, on average. These effects are more prevalent in the hot-case orbit and at higher external absorptivities, but are diminished with improvements in facesheet conductivity.



GLBL_DIS: Optimized global distribution will reduce Tmaxd, on average, by 15.6 K. This approach is more effective in the hot case orbit and higher power bus designs. However, the impact is diminished by improved bus designs (e.g. increased component dimensions (i.e. decreased flux), component interface conductance, and facesheet conductivity.



LCL_PLC: Local placement optimization routines will reduce Tmaxd, on average, by 4.6 K. This approach is significantly diminished at the high value of facesheet conductivity but works more effectively for higher power designs.

Overall, Tmaxd can be reduced by a combination of approaches. First, coupling with solar loading should be diminished. This is traditionally accomplished by insulating all surfaces and providing a deployable radiator. However, this approach adds extra mass, touch labor, and reliability issues as a result of deployment mechanisms. Future approaches relying on electrochromic surfaces would be attractive, given that these technologies can minimize the impact of solar loading (i.e. low absorptivity electrochromic surfaces). Improving panel transverse conductivity is another approach that can provide significant benefits. Although heat pipes provide significant improvements, they introduce mass penalties. In addition, simulations have shown that heat pipes are outperformed by introducing high transverse thermal conductivity facesheet materials. These materials are recommended for improved satellite thermal bus performance and are enhanced through the use of improved panel-to-panel conductivity. Finally, global and local placement optimization routines provide performance improvements at virtually no cost. 8.4 Reduced-Order Model Development Computer simulations have been targeted as a replacement to physical experiments for many applications because they are more time and cost efficient and can provide valuable insight early in the design stages (Jones and Johnson, 2009). However, computer

146 experiments are often complex and computationally expensive. When built to evaluate several variables, these costs can become unacceptable. Consequently, developing reduced-order models that capture the effects of more complicated computer simulations can have a significant benefit. Reduced-order models are based on computer simulations and therefore, should be designed to capture effects of the original model with the fewest number of runs. When properly developed, these surrogate models can predict responses at untested design points very quickly. Computer simulation experiments are uniquely different from their physical counterparts in that they typically have no results variability. Consequently, different approaches to experimentation are used. The following provides an overview of the development of reduced-order models using a Latin Hypercube spacefilling approach and Gaussian Process model fitting. 8.4.1 Reduced-Order Model Although full-factorial approaches examine all combinations of variables, they do so only at extreme values (i.e. design space boundaries). Consequently, interior points are overlooked and reduced-order models can often fail far from the boundaries. Therefore, space-filling designs were utilized to efficiently identify and evaluate interior points that would provide improvements in the reduced-order model. Space-filling designs attempt to efficiently evaluate a design space for a given number of computer simulations. Design approaches include: sphere packing, Latin Hypercube, uniform design, maximum entropy, and the Gaussian-Process IMSE designs (Jones and Johnson, 2009). However, Latin Hypercube approaches are the most commonly used for computer experiments (Jones and Johnson, 2009) and were used as the basis for the reduced-order models presented in the current work. A reduced-order model should accurately capture the effects of the 11 input factors on Tmaxd. However, 4 of the 11 factors are categorical (i.e. non-continuous factors) which include ORBIT, HT_PIPE, GLBL_DIS, and LCL_PLC. Reduced-order models should then be developed for all combinations of these factors (24 = 16). However, to minimize the number of reduced-order models, the optimization factors (i.e. GLBL_DIS and LCL_PLC) were changed concurrently. Consequently, eight reduced-order models (i.e. 23) were developed as illustrated in Table 8.6. For each categorical model, 128 (27)

147 sampling points were identified using Latin Hypercube approaches. A summary of Latin Hypercube sampling points for the remaining seven continuous variables is included in Appendix L. Table 8.6: Summary of Eight Reduced-Order Models versus Four Categorical Factors. Reduced-Order Model

Once the design points were determined using the Latin Hypercube approaches, the Gaussian-Process (GP) regression model was used to fit the data and provided the framework for a reduced-order model. GP regression models, widely-used in computer simulation research, is a model that has only as many parameters as variables plus one parameter for mean and one for variance (Jones and Johnson, 2009). Additionally, GP models exactly fit observed responses, which is especially useful for deterministic computer simulations. Consider an experiment with training data evaluated at n locations each defined by a k-dimensional vector (i.e. k input factors). For training data at the i-th location,

x i = ( xi1 ,..., xik ) , a given response is denoted by yi = y ( x i ) . Consequently, there is a n × k training data matrix, X . Outputs of these trials, Y = y ( X ) = ( y1 ,..., xn )′ , is an n-

dimensional vector. For a single trial, the output is modeled by y (x i ) = μ + z (x i )

i = 1,.., n .

(8.6)

The value μ is the overall mean and z ( x i ) is a Gaussian Process with E ( z (x i )) = 0 , Var ( z ( x i )) = σ z2 , and Cov ( z ( x i ), z ( x j )) = σ z2 Rij ( X, θ) (Ranjan, Haynes, and Karsten,

148 2010). Although several approaches can be utilized for the correlation structure, the approach used was that described by Jones and Johnson (2009) shown here k

Rij ( X, θ) = exp[ − ∑θ s ( xis − x js ) 2 ] .

(8.7)

s =1

As described by Jones and Johnson (2009), values of θ s ≥ 0 . When θ s = 0 , the correlation is 1.0 over the range of the kth factor and the corresponding fitted surface is flat in that direction. Conversely, large θ s indicate lower correlation in the kth factor and the fitted surface will be bumpy in that direction. The parameters, μ , σ , and θ are estimated using maximum likelihood methods (Jones and Johnson, 2009). Representing these values by μˆ , σˆ , and θˆ the prediction model at a non-sample point, x* = ( x1* ,..., xk* ) , becomes (Ranjan, Haynes, and Karsten, 2010) yˆ (x* ) = μˆ + r′( x* , x, θˆ )R −1 ( X, θˆ )( Y − 1n μˆ ) .

(8.8)

The matrix, R ( X , θˆ ) , is an n x n correlation matrix between training data sites while the n-dimensional vector, r ( x* , x, θˆ ) , is given by k ⎡ ⎤ exp[ θ s ( x1s − x*s )2 ]⎥ − ∑ ⎢ s =1 ⎢ ⎥ * ˆ r ( x , x, θ) = ⎢ ⎥. ⎢ ⎥ k ⎢ exp[− ∑θ s ( xns − x * )2 ]⎥ s s =1 ⎣⎢ ⎦⎥

(8.9)

Consequently, the resulting prediction equation contains one model term for each design point in the original experiment (i.e. training data). Introduced for computer experiments by Sacks, Welch, Mitchell, and Wynn (1989), this approach is desirable in computer experiments since they provide an exact fit to the training data and require only k+1 parameters (i.e. μˆ and θˆk ). A full summary of model coefficients is included in

Appendix N.

149 8.4.2 Development of Test Cases Evaluation of reduced-order models was done using 100 test cases found in Appendix L. These test cases were generated using random functions for all categorical and continuous variables. 8.4.2.1 Results Reduced-order (RO) models based on latin-hypercube sampling with Gaussian Process regression fits were developed. These models were evaluated by comparing predicted Tmax, Tmin, and Tmaxd values versus computer simulation (CS) results from the 100 test-case values. The results of this comparison are illustrated in Figure 8.10 through Figure 8.12.

151 determined for each of 100 test cases. The residuals were then plotted versus computer simulated Tmax, Tmin, and Tmaxd results as shown in Figure 8.13 through Figure 8.15.

Figure 8.15: Computer Simulation (CS) minus Latin-Hypercube/Gaussian-Process Reduced-Order (RO) Model Tmaxd Results versus CS Tmaxd. As this figure shows, residual variance appears to increase slightly with increasing Tmin and Tmaxd values. Additionally, residuals appear to be centrally located near 0 K. This was confirmed by constructing a dotplot diagram of residuals to evaluate their distribution (Figure 8.16 through Figure 8.18).

Figure 8.18: Dotplot of Computer Simulation (CS) minus Latin-Hypercube / GaussianProcess Reduced-Order (RO) Model Tmaxd Results. The dotplot diagrams indicate that residual values are normally distributed around a mean of ~0 K. This assumption was tested by constructing normal probability plots as shown in Figure 8.19 through Figure 8.21.

155

Figure 8.21: Normal Probability Plot of Tmaxd Residual Results with 95% Confidence Intervals and Statistical Indices. These normal probability plots were used to evaluate the normality assumption and include 95% confidence intervals. The Anderson-Darling (AD) statistic was used to measure how well the data follow a particular distribution. The better the distribution fits the data, the smaller this statistic will be. The Anderson-Darling test evaluates the hypotheses shown here: H 0 : The data follow a specified distribution H 1 : The data do not follow a specified distribution

.

(8.10)

If the p-value for the Anderson-Darling test is greater than a typical significance level (usually 0.05 or 0.10), it can be concluded that the data is normally distributed with a given mean and standard deviation. Figure 8.19 through Figure 8.21 show that the Tmaxd residuals are normally distributed. The normality assumption is challenged for the Tmax and Tmin residuals as a result of residual values in the tails of the dotplot figures. Estimated means and standard deviations for all responses are shown in Table 8.7.

8.4.2.1.1 Factor Sweep Analysis The reduced-order modeling approach was further examined by evaluating how it performs over a range of two select factors. Computer-simulation and reduced-order model Tmax, Tmin, and Tmaxd results were plotted versus both external absorptivity (EXT_ABS) and facesheet transverse thermal conductivity (F_T_CND) design factors in both the hot- and cold-case orbits for both nominal and optimized global and local component placements. All other design factors, set to nominal levels, are summarized in Table 8.8. Table 8.8: Summary of Nominal Factors Levels.

Plots of these results are shown in Figure 8.22 through Figure 8.27. These figures illustrate that the reduced-order models provide an acceptable representation of computer-simulation results. These figures also indicate that computer simulation results

157 for the optimized cases are not smooth (e.g. Figure 8.23 Hot-Case Results). This noise is the results of the stochastic nature of the genetic-algorithm optimization algorithms.

160 8.4.2.1.2 Evaluation of Reduced-Order Model for Other Distributions The reduced-order models were based on 36 components with a Case C power distribution (i.e. Figure 6.2). Investigation was conducted to determine how well these models capture results for alternative distributions. The 100 test points used to initially evaluate the reduced-order models (i.e. Appendix L) were tested using 36 components with a Case B power distribution (i.e. Figure 6.2). The effectiveness of the reduced-order models at capturing the effects of alternative component distributions was done by comparing predicted (i.e. RO Model) Tmax, Tmin, and Tmaxd values versus computer simulation (CS) results from the 100 test-case values. The results of this comparison are illustrated in Figure 8.28 through Figure 8.30.

162 determined for each of 100 test cases. The residuals were then plotted versus computer simulated Tmax, Tmin, and Tmaxd results as shown in Figure 8.31 through Figure 8.33.

163

Figure 8.33: Computer Simulation (CS) minus Latin-Hypercube/Gaussian-Process Reduced-Order (RO) Model Tmaxd Case B-36 Results versus CS Tmaxd. These figures show that the developed reduced-order models tend to underpredict Tmax and Tmaxd results for the Case B distribution. This can be attributed to the shape of the Case B distribution (i.e. Figure 6.2). Most of the Case B component power is contained in a small set of components as compared to the Case C distribution. Consequently, the relative power difference, and consequently temperature difference, between any two components is greater for the Case B over the Case C distribution. Additionally, the results show that as overall thermal performance is improved (e.g. lower Tmaxd), the residuals become smaller (i.e. Figure 8.33). This can be attributed to the fact that improved thermal performance is, in part, due to optimized global and local component placement. These results show that the developed optimization routines are somewhat insensitive to component distributions and trend towards similar optimized results. 8.4.2.1.3 Example of Reduced-Order Model Use A simple example of the reduced-order models is provided here to illustrate their utility. A satellite design was explored with properties summarized in Table 8.9. Note that this satellite design has relatively low-capability technologies for most factors except facesheet transverse thermal conductivity (900 W/m-K) and optimized global/local

164 placement. Additionally, the external emissivity is assumed to be variable (e.g. electrochromic devices applied to the external satellite surfaces) while the external absorptivity is fixed at 0.3. The cold-case was based on a cold-case orbit and an assumed survival power of 60 W. The hot-case was based on a hot-case orbit and full power conditions (i.e. 600 W).

Temperature results for both the hot- and cold-cases was plotted versus external emissivity (EXT_EMS) as shown in Figure 8.34. Also shown on this figure are an assumed acceptable component temperature range of 0 to 40°C (i.e. 273 K to 313 K). The maximum temperature difference, Tmaxd, was found to be approximately 40 K for all values of EXT_EMS. This figure illustrates that the proposed design would provide acceptable temperature conditions over the range of assumed conditions (i.e. hot- and cold-case conditions). The proposed design is capable of providing these acceptable temperatures through emissivity variations. In the cold-case situation, an emissivity of 0.23 to 0.28 is required. In the hotcase situation, an emissivity of approximately 0.75 is necessary. This simple analysis illustrates that the proposed design would be an acceptable design strategy. However, it

165 should be mentioned that it is based on several assumptions including the given temperature margins (i.e. 0 to 40°C) and component distribution. In addition, the variability in the reduced-order model results is not shown. However, this variability was shown to be relatively small.

Figure 8.34: Tmax and Tmin Temperature Results versus external emissivity (EXT_EMS) for both Cold- and Hot-Case Conditions. 8.5 Conclusions Reduced-order models to predict satellite temperature responses for an 11-factor computer simulation model were developed. In total, eight reduced-order models were developed (one for each level of the categorical variables) based on Tmax, Tmin, and Tmaxd response data obtained from computer simulations run at evaluation points determined using Latin Hypercube sampling. A Gaussian Process regression model approach was used to fit the subsequent data. The eight reduced-order models were tested using 100 randomly generated test cases. The reduced-order model results were compared to computer simulation results by subtracting the two results at all test points. Residuals, found for Tmax, Tmin, and Tmaxd responses, had means of -0.1448 K, 0.06414 K, and 0.08643 K, respectively.

166 Additionally, the Tmax, Tmin, and Tmaxd responses had standard deviations of 1.547 K, 1.077 K, and 1.518 K, respectively. The approach outlined here illustrates the utility in developing reduced-order models. These surrogate models were shown to provide acceptable results over more computationally expensive computer simulations. Consequently, these models are ideally suited for rapid evaluation of a wide-range of satellite thermal control subsystem design approaches. Further, these models do not require users to have an extensive background in thermal modeling and/or access to expensive thermal simulation software. Consequently, the models developed here could be the beginning of a central database of reduced-order models accessible by the AFRL community. However, the limits of these models should be well understood. These models do not include all approaches that might be of interest to a user (e.g. traditional design approaches including external insulation and deployable radiators). Additionally, these models are not well suited as a replacement for thermal modeling reserved for specific satellite designs (e.g. TacSat-2 described in Appendix A).

CHAPTER 9 - CONCLUSIONS AND SUGGESTIONS FOR FUTURE WORK

Since 1957, satellites have provided tremendous opportunities; however, space presents extraordinary challenges. Consequently, satellites have become exceedingly complex and costly. Current satellites can take from 3 to 7 years to deploy and cost from millions to billions of dollars. To reduce development time and cost while maintaining the United States’ military space authority, a Responsive Space (RS) vision has been initiated to revolutionize the methods in which satellites are designed, developed, and put into use. The objective of RS is to quickly deliver low cost, short-term tactical capabilities to address unmet warfighter and intelligence needs. Development of a robust TCS able to meet the challenges of RS will prove to be one of the most significant obstacles. Although it can rely on relaxed design methodologies to align with the philosophy of RS, it must be robust enough to meet a considerably larger design space over traditional optimized systems. This research presents design and implementation tools supporting the development of Responsive Space thermal control subsystems. An extended literature review revealed topics requiring immediate attention and others providing promising contributions. Consequently, several diverse works were carried out and conclusions provided henceforth. 9.1 Determination of Hot- and Cold-Case Design Orbits for Robust Thermal Control Subsystem Design Single hot- and cold-case design orbits that work well in the design of robust thermal control subsystems over a wide range of satellite surface properties and likely operating environments were determined. A general approach was developed which employed a combination of statistical and historical data such that statistically insignificant orbits were disregarded. From the analysis, a hot-case design orbit was found ( β = 72°,

168 i = 52°, altitude = 350 km) which provided orbital averaged heat fluxes within 0.5% of

the values determined using design orbits specific to individual surface types. A general cold-case design orbit was found ( β = 0°, i = 28°, altitude = 1000 km) which provided orbital averaged heat fluxes within 9.0% of the values determined using design orbits specific to individual surface types. If more accuracy is required, two cold-case design orbits were identified. For spacecraft with predominantly solar reflector surfaces, a coldcase design orbit ( β = 0°, i = 74°, altitude = 1000 km) provides minimum orbital averaged heat fluxes. For all other surface types, a cold-case design orbit was found ( β = 0°, i = 28°, altitude = 350 km) which provided orbital averaged heat fluxes within 3.4% of the values determined using design orbits specific to individual surface types. These results were based on a spherical satellite model and therefore, care should be taken when significant departures from this assumption are encountered. This includes both geometric and attitude deviations such as those for a Sun-pointing solar panel. In addition, the design orbits are intended for LEO missions with altitudes in the range of 350 to 1000 km. Consequently, their use for highly elliptic orbits and those with relatively large altitudes is not recommended. The hot- and cold-case design orbits have many potential applications. First, they provide consistent design criteria for the development and comparison of robust thermal control subsystem approaches. In the absence of clearly defined mission criteria, these design orbits also provide a reasonable surrogate. Finally, they are useful for the design of robust spacecraft over a wide range of both satellite surface properties and low Earth orbit operating environments. 9.2 Optimal Distribution of Electronic Components to Balance Environmental Fluxes A computational tool was developed which provides rapidly optimized component distributions over multi-sided structures each with unique environmental loading. The tool is based on a genetic algorithm utilizing a combination of elitist strategies, reproduction, best- and worst-fit heuristics, and mutation. A tuning study revealed appropriate convergence criteria, population size, and values for evolution parameters. The results showed that a strictly rule-based approach would provide the least

169 computational expense and provide reasonable results for the cases considered here. However, this approach might not be suitable for cases not considered. Consequently, an approach that takes full advantage of the capabilities of the algorithm was used. Computational requirements, on average, are expected to be approximately 12 seconds or less for up to 54 components using a 2.5 gigahertz dual-core computer. The maximum computational requirements are expected to be less than approximately 22 seconds for up to 54 components using the same machine. Optimized, even, and worst-case distributions for Case C-36 in the hot-case orbit were found for total power of 100 W up to 1200 W. On average, optimized component distributions reduced maximum temperatures by 5.4 K over evenly distributed components. Optimizing component distribution increased minimum temperatures by 7.1 K, on average, over evenly distributed components. Finally, optimized component distributions reduced maximum temperature differences by 12.6 K, on average, over evenly distributed components. The largest and smallest maximum temperature difference reductions were 17.8 K (at 400 W) and 9.5 K (at 100 W), respectively. 9.3 Optimal Placement of Electronic Components to Minimize Heat Flux NonUniformities A computational tool was developed which provides rapidly optimized component placement within an individual panel to approach a uniform heat flux distribution. The tool is based on a genetic algorithm utilizing a combination of elitist strategies, reproduction, local gradient searches, and mutation. A tuning study revealed appropriate convergence criteria, population size and values for evolution parameters. Optimized results were obtained for 18 uniform and 11 non-uniform components within 20 s and 7 s, respectively, using a 2.5 gigahertz dual-core processor. Advantages of this method include no need for thermophysical properties and boundary conditions. Optimized results are obtained using only component averaged power and domain size. Consequently, this approach is ideally suited to situations where limited information is readily available. In addition, limiting the required inputs provides for relatively fast solutions. However, care should be taken to ensure that a uniform distribution of fluxes is required for optimized placement. This robust and fast approach

170 can be utilized in a variety of applications including microelectronics and satellite development and is especially suited to those demanding low computational expense. 9.4 Development and Evaluation of Reduced-Order Satellite Thermal Models Reduced-order models to predict maximum satellite temperature difference for an 11 factor computer simulation model was developed. In total, eight reduced-order models were developed (one for each level of the categorical variables) based on Tmaxd data obtained from computer simulations run at evaluation points determined using Latin Hypercube sampling. A Gaussian Process regression model approach was used to fit the subsequent data. The eight reduced-order models were tested using 100 randomly generated test cases. The reduced-order model results were compared to computer simulation results by subtracting the two results at all test points. Residuals, found for maximum temperature, minimum temperature, and maximum temperature difference over all components, had means of -0.1448 K, 0.06414 K, and 0.08643 K, respectively. Additionally, the maximum temperature, minimum temperature, and maximum temperature difference responses had standard deviations of 1.547 K, 1.077 K, and 1.518 K, respectively. The approach outlined here illustrates the utility in developing reduced-order models. These surrogate models were shown to provide acceptable results over more computationally expensive computer simulations. Consequently, these models are ideally suited for rapid evaluation of a wide-range of satellite thermal control subsystem design approaches. Further, these models do not require users to have an extensive background in thermal modeling and/or access to expensive thermal simulation software. Consequently, the models developed here could be the beginning of a central database of reduced-order models accessible by the AFRL community. However, the limits of these models should be well understood. These models do not include all approaches that might be of interest to a user (e.g. traditional design approaches including external insulation and deployable radiators). Additionally, these models are not well suited as a replacement for thermal modeling reserved for specific satellite designs.

171 9.5 Assumptions and Limitations of Work Results presented in this thesis were based on specific assumptions and approaches. Consequently, care should be taken to ensure that these results are applied in an appropriate manner. Although provided throughout this thesis, a concise summary of assumptions and limitations will be presented here for convenience. The following subsections, broken down by research effort, provide a summary of the underlying assumptions and resulting limitations of each work. 9.5.1 Determination of Hot- and Cold-Case Design Orbits for Robust Thermal Control Subsystem Design 9.5.1.1 Assumptions •

Sun coordinates for the determination of temporal beta angle predictions were based on a low-precision method which provides the equation of time to a precision of 0m.1 between 1950 and 2050 due to expansion truncation and coordinates of the Sun to 0.01° (Vallado, 2007; Astronomical Almanac, 2007). Additionally, Sun coordinates were developed under the following assumptions: 1) gravity is the only force, 2) a spherically symmetric Earth, 3) the Earth’s mass is much greater than the satellite’s, and 4) the Earth and the satellite are the only two bodies in the system.



Perturbing forces that can influence orbits include: solar radiation pressure, atmospheric drag, gravitational forces of the Sun and Moon, and forces as a result of a non-spherical Earth. Of these, perturbations due to a non-spherical Earth dominate the other sources; therefore, they were the only type of perturbations used in this study (Wertz and Larson, 2005).



Man-made plane changes and naturally occurring forces (e.g. luni-solar forces) were neglected. Natural occurring forces have been found to be very small (~1/100° per year) (Gopinath et al., 2004). Consequently, orbit inclination, i , was assumed constant.



Historical inclination information, used in the development of weighting matrices, was based on data from 1957 to 2006 (Satcat.txt, 2007) which includes 29,493

172 unclassified orbiting objects (i.e. satellites, debris, and rocket fairings). Classified information was not utilized. •

Orbital-averaged external environmental heat flux values were based on a spherical satellite model in circular orbits at altitudes from 350 to 1000 km. Hotand cold-case heat loads were based on three primary components: direct solar, albedo, and outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) flux (i.e. Earth emitted radiation). Albedo heat flux was based on the assumption of a diffusely reflecting spherical Earth. These results were verified within 3.2% of values obtained from MonteCarlo ray tracing software.



The characteristic temperature of space is 3 K and as a result, deep space radiation was neglected as a radiation source (e.g. assumed to be at 0 K) with negligible error (Justus et al., 2001). In addition, collisions with atmospheric gasses can provide an additional heating source (Gilmore, 2002). This free molecular heating occurs only at exceptionally low orbit altitudes (below 180 km) and during fairing separation. Consequently, this heating source was disregarded for the analysis. Finally, charged particle heating is the result of near-Earth trapped charged particles in the Van Allen belts. This weak source of heating is typically disregarded for typical thermal analyses (Gilmore, 2002).



The Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE) was the basis for albedo and Earth emitted radiation values. From this database of information, 90 minute time averaged values were chosen, which were the closest to the period of low Earth orbit (LEO) orbits.

9.5.1.2 Limitations •

The hot- and cold-case design orbits are intended for LEO missions with altitudes in the range of 350 to 1000 km. Consequently, their use for highly elliptic orbits and those with relatively large altitudes is not recommended.



Heat flux models used in the development of the design orbits were based on an orbital-averaged value. This was chosen due to the relatively large thermal capacitance of typical satellite architectures. Consequently, these design orbits are not suited for devices with low thermal capacitance (e.g. deployable solar panels).

173 For these devices, an instantaneous heat flux value would be a more suitable approach in determining design orbits. This was not part of the work presented here. •

Orbit-averaged heat flux results are based on a spherical satellite model and therefore, care should be taken when significant departures from this assumption are encountered. The hot- and cold-case design orbits are ideally suited for symmetric satellite shapes (e.g. six-sided architectures). These design orbits should not be applied to structures that significantly deviate from this symmetry (e.g. deployable solar panels).



Historical inclination information was based on unclassified data. Classified missions might produce a different distribution of inclinations and therefore would influence the resulting hot- and cold-case design orbits.

9.5.2 Optimal Distribution of Electronic Components to Balance Environmental Fluxes 9.5.2.1 Assumptions •

All satellite panels (i.e. face) are assumed to have the same optical properties and receive a uniformly-distributed orbital-averaged heat load from the environment. Additionally, each panel is assumed to dissipate energy to the surroundings via longwave radiation at the same temperature and emissivity.



It is assumed that component heat gains occur on one side of the face while environmental heat loads and dissipation occur on the opposite side.



Algorithm tuning was based on three unique component power distributions that bound the range of possible power distributions (Case A, Case C, and Case D).



Computational requirement results were based on the use of a 2.5 gigahertz dualcore computer.



Optimized, even, and worst-case distribution results for total power of 100 W up to 1200 W were based on a 1.0 m x 1.0 m x 1.0 m six-sided frame-and-panel satellite architecture in the hot-case orbit. Panels were constructed of 0.00127 m thick Al 6061-T6 facesheets and a 0.0254 m thick Al 5052 honeycomb material. Component power was based on a Case C-36 component distribution.

174 9.5.2.2 Limitations •

The global distribution optimization algorithm was developed to improve the thermal performance of satellites by approaching isothermal bus conditions. This is achieved by approaching the same net heat flux due to component and environmental sources on each face. Consequently, this approach is not suited to situations where isothermal conditions are not desired.

9.5.3 Optimal Placement of Electronic Components to Minimize Heat Flux NonUniformities 9.5.3.1 Assumptions •

Case studies were based on a single 1.0 m x 1.0 m honeycomb panel with 0.00127 m thick Al 6061-T6 facesheets and a 0.0254 m thick Al 5052 honeycomb material. Multiple heat-generating components, each with a contact area of 10 cm x 10 cm, were attached to one side of the panel. Heat generation of all components was conducted to the panel only (i.e. not lost through radiation) with a contact conductance of 110 W/m2-K. All heat generation was ultimately dissipated to a deep space environment (0 K) through radiation from the bottom surface of the panel with an emissivity of 1.0.



Algorithm tuning was based on the Case D power distribution for 3 to 18 components. The algorithm was demonstrated using 100 W of total component power in two distributions. The first used a Case D-18 distribution (i.e. 18 uniformly powered components) while the second used 11 non-uniformly powered components (i.e. 20.3, 17.3, 14.6, 12.2, 10.0, 8.1, 6.3, 4.7, 3.3, 2.1, and 1.0 W).



The local placement optimization algorithm was developed based on the assumption that component heat is spread evenly in all directions (i.e. radial heat spreading).



Computational requirement results were based on the use of a 2.5 gigahertz dualcore computer.

175 9.5.3.2 Limitations •

The approach is limited to situations where a uniform distribution of fluxes provides for optimized thermal performance.



The local placement optimization algorithm only considers thermal effects. Consequently, it does not consider the impact of component interference (i.e. fit issues).



The optimization approach is based on circular effective areas for each component. Consequently, deviations from symmetric shapes (e.g. rectangular components with high aspect ratios) could be problematic.

9.5.4 Development and Evaluation of Reduced-Order Satellite Thermal Models 9.5.4.1 Assumptions •

The reduced-order satellite thermal models were based on a 1.0 m x 1.0 m x 1.0 m six-sided frame-and-panel satellite architecture with honeycomb panel construction having 0.00127 m thick Al 6061-T6 facesheets and a 0.0254 m thick Al 5052 honeycomb material. The satellite is nadir facing and has 36 components with a Case C power distribution (Case C-36) with total power of up to 600 W. The number of components per panel was limited to six to provide a more realistic optimized result (i.e. each panel has limited space to place components). However, global and local optimization routines were applied to not only optimally distribute power throughout the 36 components but also local optimize the component placements on each panel.



Reduced-order models were based on specific factor ranges and should only be applied within these limits. Specific factor ranges are described in the limitations section to follow.

9.5.4.2 Limitations •

Evaluations using the reduced-order models are limited to the 11 factors summarized in Table 8.2.

176 •

Output of the reduced-order models are limited to maximum component temperature, minimum component temperature, and maximum temperature difference across all components.



The reduced-order models can be used between the following levels: o Total component power from 60 to 600 W o Component footprint from 10 cm x 10 cm to 20 cm x 20 cm o Component interface heat transfer coefficient from 110 W/m2-K to

700 W/m2-K o Facesheet transverse thermal conductivity from 170 W/m-K to

1,000 W/m-K o Embedded heat pipes at one of two levels: 0 and 10 per panel. A

traditional heat pipe construction was modeled with a diameter of 0.9525 cm (0.375 in) and a vapor core of 0.5080 cm (0.200 in) diameter. The evaporator and condenser heat transfer coefficients were set at 11,356 W/m2-K and 5,678 W/m2-K, respectively. o Panel-to-panel conductance from 12 W/K to 36 W/K o Satellite exterior emissivity from 0.100 to 0.900 o Satellite exterior absorptivity from 0.123 to 0.561



The reduced-order models were based on 36 components with a Case C power distribution. Use at other power distributions is not recommended.

9.6 Suggestions for Future Work The work summarized in this thesis provides a wide-range of tools necessary and valuable for robust TCS design. Although this work is broad in nature, there still exists opportunity for continuing research efforts in these areas. The following topics, broken down by subjects covered in this thesis, are suggested ideas and approaches for future research. 9.6.1 Research in Design Orbits for Robust Thermal Control Subsystem Design •

The orbit study summarized in this work focused on low-Earth orbits. However, robust and RS missions are not limited to LEO. Consequently, it is recommended

177 that a similar analysis be applied to other orbit types including highly-elliptical and geosynchronous orbits. For orbits other than circular, the analysis approach will need to be expanded to include the expected range of eccentricities and argument of perigee rotations. •

The orbit study was based on a symmetric satellite model (i.e. sphere). This approach is acceptable for many satellite designs such as the six-sided satellite model used throughout this thesis. However, some satellite or component architectures have a significantly different shape factor. Additionally, design orbits will be dependent on pointing. For example, solar panels deviate from the symmetric satellite model and are significantly impacted by pointing. Consequently, the design orbits developed here should be expanded to include a wide-range of shape factors and pointing conditions.

9.6.2 Component Placement Optimization Research •

Global optimization routines were developed to improve the thermal performance of satellites. This approach was based on orbital-averaged thermal environmental factors based on one design orbit (i.e. beta angle). However, due to beta angle drift, satellites will encounter a wide-range of beta angles over their life for a given inclination (refer to Figure 5.15) Values include minimum, maximum, and average beta angles. However, the global optimization routine is based on one specific orbital environment (i.e. beta angle). Therefore, for a given inclination, analysis should be conducted to determine the ideal beta angle that the global optimization algorithms should be applied. For example, if components were globally optimized for the maximum beta angle then how will the optimized power distribution perform under minimum beta angle conditions.



An optimization routine was developed to improve satellite thermal performance through intelligent placement of components. This approach was based on optimization over rectangular domains. However, satellite architectures sometimes consist of irregularly shaped faces (e.g. hexagons). Consequently, this optimization approach should be extended to include other satellite panel shapes.

178 •

Global component distribution and local component placement optimization routines were developed to be used in series (i.e. globally optimize distribution then locally optimize placement). Although this approach has been shown to provide significant thermal improvements at acceptable computational cost, it overlooks the interactions between panels. After local optimization of a panel, its rotation/orientation in relationship to surrounding panels is arbitrarily defined. It is anticipated that further improvements could be made by examining these interactions between panels.

9.6.3 Research in Reduced-Order Satellite Thermal Models •

Reduced-order models were developed to evaluate 11 factors over specific ranges. These models were shown to perform well; however, their use is limited to the specific factors and ranges. Consequently, additional computer experiments could be run to expand the number of factors and factor ranges that the reduced-order models could be used for.



Reduced-order models were shown to be a useful surrogate to more computationally-expensive computer simulations. However, this approach requires running a large set of computer simulations that can be costly depending on the number of factors of interest. Consequently, development of reduced-order models based on physical phenomenon (e.g. thermal spreading, Fourier’s Law, Stefan-Boltzmann Law) without the need to run large sets of computer simulations would be useful. This approach has the potential to be more robust than models based on computer experiments. However, this approach presents several challenges including non-linear boundary conditions and superposition of heat loads in a non-linear system.

APPENDICES

193 Appendix A – Review of Robust Satellite Architectures

Several satellite architectures have been developed to respond to the challenges of RS. The following summarizes some of those efforts. A.1 TacSat The ORS office is proceeding with a demonstration program consisting of a series of space flights used to illustrate some of the advancements in RS (Wegner et al., 2005). These TacSats will be used to test and verify the capability of potential RS technologies including: modularity, plug-and-play-components, low-cost capable payloads, low-cost responsive launch vehicles, semi-autonomous operations, responsive command/control, and data dissemination, innovative science and technology development, and acquisition processes (Wegner et al., 2005). Five TacSat satellites have been or are currently being developed. TacSat-1 was the initial demonstration effort led by the NRL (Figure A.1). The year long development cost approximately $23 million (U.S. GAO, 2008). This 108 kg satellite was designed for a circular 410 km 40° inclination orbit. Although scheduled for a 2004 launch, due to development delays the program was cancelled in 2007 in favor of TacSat-2. There has been renewed interest in this satellite and a launch in the future could be expected (Berger, 2007).

Figure A.1: TacSat-1 (Raymond et al., 2004).

194 TacSat-2 (Figure A.2) was an effort led by the AFRL taking 29 months to develop at a cost of $39 million (U.S. GAO, 2008). This 370 kg satellite was designed for an approximately 410 km circular 40° inclination orbit (Peck, 2006). It was launched in December 2006 on a Minotaur I.

Figure A.2: TacSat-2 (Peck, 2006). TacSat-3 is a $62.7 million effort led by the AFRL to develop the first implementation of bus standards (U.S. GAO, 2008 and Raymond et al., 2005). This 400 kg satellite was designed for an approximately 425 km circular orbit (TacSat-3 Fact Sheet, 2006). TacSat-3 is expected to launch in late 2008 on a Minotaur I. TacSat-4 is a NRL led endeavor estimated to cost $114 million (U.S. GAO, 2008). TacSat-4 will evaluate current and provide the next generation of bus standards (Raymond et al., 2005). It is expected to launch into a highly elliptical orbit for communications purposes in 2009 on a Minotaur IV (Doyne et al., 2006). TacSat-5 is a collaborative effort with the Army Space and Missile Defense Center, the Joint ORS Office, AFRL, and Space and Missile Systems Center (U.S. GAO, 2008). Currently, this satellite is in development. A.2 Plug-and-Play Sat (PnPSat) The AFRL conducted a Responsive Space Advanced Technology Study (RSATS), which determined that plug-and-play (PnP) technologies such as Universal Serial Bus (USB), SpaceWire, Firewire, and Ethernet could be utilized in spacecraft (Wegner and Kiziah, 2006). Ultimately, application of these technologies could provide some of the answers to RS questions. Consequently, a responsive satellite cell was developed with the

195 goal of demonstrating the real-time events from call-up of a new spacecraft to launch (Wegner and Kiziah, 2006). Efforts include the development of a first-generation PnP satellite bus. PnPSat is an approximately 51 x 51 x 61 cm modular frame and panel design (Figure A.3). Each of the six panels are a 6061-T6 aluminum isogrid structure (Fronterhouse, Lyke, and Achramowicz, 2007).

Figure A.3: Plug-and-Play Satellite General Schematic (Spaceworks, Inc., 2008). A.3 HexPak The HexPak satellite architecture, developed by Lockheed Martin, consists of stackable hexagonal bays with a large radius in comparison to its height. The hexagonal bays when stacked easily fit within the fairing of a launch vehicle. These bays are interconnected with hinges and latches and when unfolded provide a large planar structure (Figure A.4) (Hicks, Hashemi, and Capots, 2006). Each bay provides a separate module that allows for parallel AI&T.

Figure A.4: Illustration of HexPak Deployment (Hicks, Enoch and Capots, 2005). Although Lockheed Martin is developing independent PnP avionics for HexPak, they are expected to align with the SPA efforts of AFRL.

196 A.4 SMARTBus AeroAstro’s SMARTBus spacecraft architecture is an attempt to provide a modular, robust satellite design capable of responding to the unique challenges of RS. The SMARTBus concept relies on a modular bus design consisting of individual hexagonal structures stacked on top of one another (McDermott and Jordan, 2005). Individual modules perform specific spacecraft functions such as communication, attitude determination, power storage, and solar coupling. Modules utilize standard designs such that they can be produced ahead of time. When needed, modules performing the needed functions are pulled off the shelf, stacked, tested, and attached to a payload in a few hours.

Figure A.5: Illustration of SMARTBus Concept (McDermott and Jordan, 2005). Intrinsic to the success of this design is smart software architecture. As individual models are connected, they must be able to recognize each other similar to PnP devices currently available in COTS systems. Due to the unique requirements of satellite design, AeroAstro has improved upon PnP and implemented a plug-and-sense (PnS) system. In a traditional PnP system, equipment is able to identify itself and its capabilities on a common bus. All necessary information required to operate that equipment is contained within the equipment itself. In a PnS system, identification of the device’s physical characteristics is included such as mass, size, shape, center of gravity, moments of inertia, and position within the spacevehicle. These details are crucial in satellite design (McDermott and Jordan, 2005). Under the Small, Smart, Spacecraft for Observation and Utility Tasks (SCOUT) program funded by DARPA, AeroAstro has developed and fabricated a prototype of the PnS architecture.

197 The Flexible, Extensible Bus for Small Satellites (FEBSS) program sponsored by AFRL is developing three specific SMARTBus modules: a battery module, a communication module, and a fold-out solar array module (McDermott and Jordan, 2005). A.5 MightySat MightySat is a United States Air Force (USAF) small satellite program with objectives to transition advanced space technologies from the laboratory to the warfighter in a timely manner. MightySat II is a three-axis stabilized 123.7 kg satellite launched in July 2000 at a total cost of $36.4 millions (MightySat II DataSheet, 2005). Maximum battery power is 330 W with nominal levels closer to 100 W.

Figure A.6: Illustration of MightySat II.1 (MightySat II DataSheet, 2005). The Thermal Control Subsystem (TCS) utilizes the satellite’s structure as well as insulation and control. The composite structure of MightySat II distributes thermal loads through fibers within the material that are connected to radiator panels. Exposed surfaces are covered with 15-layer, gold-colored insulation blanketing. Component and payload ‘on-off’ management provides active thermal control (Freeman, Rudder, and Thomas, 2000). Integration and Testing (I&T) was accomplished on components and systems over 15 months during which 173 problems or failures were discovered and corrected. Testing

198 included vibration, separation and pyrotechnic shock, and thermal balance (Freeman, Rudder, and Thomas, 2000). A.6 CubeSat CubeSats were developed jointly by Stanford and California Polytechnic State University and currently consists of collaboration between 40 universities, high schools, and private firms. The objectives of this satellite architecture include: 1) providing a low cost way of learning how to build satellites, 2) providing a test-bed for new space devices and ideas, and 3) providing an architecture that responds to the goals of RS (Ince, 2005). The CubeSat is standardized satellite architecture in the shape of a cube with 10 cm sides and a maximum mass of 1 kg (CubeSat Design Specification, 2008). Because of standardization, they are cheaper and faster to develop than current one-of-a-kind technologies, but do not offer the same level of capabilities as traditional satellites (Ince, 2005). The development of a CubeSat is typically two years where the rapid development time is partly due to the availability of standardized CubeSat parts (e.g. solar panels, microprocessor boards, connectors, etc.). The fact that CubeSats are not as capable as traditional satellite designs along with the fact that they are relatively young (4 to 5 years) has isolated their use to an educational environment.

199 Appendix B – Review of Robust Thermal Control Subsystem (TCS) Approaches

The following is a summary of a review of RS TCS concepts that have been developed. Concepts include the Thermal Management for Modular Satellites, Satellite Modular and Reconfigurable Thermal System, Forced Air Convection Thermal Switch, HexPak, SMARTBus, and Integrated Thermal Energy Management System. B.1 Thermal Management for Modular Satellites (TherMMS) Young (2008) investigated enabling thermal control architectures for fully modular spacecraft necessary for RS (Figure B.1). These included thermal bus concepts from traditional up to modular isothermal approaches. Evaluation revealed that isothermal bus architectures provide the greatest modularity and thermal performance for a reasonable increase in complexity (Young, 2008).

Figure B.1: TherMMS TCS Candidate Solutions (Young, 2008).

200 The thermal control architectures were applied to each of three architectures: frame and panel, shelf and building block. Young (2008) revealed that in general, each of the spacecraft architectures behaved in a similar manner and the isothermal thermal bus architectures were shown to be flexible in the ability to adapt and scale to various spacecraft types (Young, 2008). In addition, varying the heat radiated to space significantly increased thermal performance and reduces or eliminates the need for survival heater power. The evaluation of the modularity and thermal performance showed that isothermal bus architecture with thermal balance modulation on the heat rejection side enables full modularity in the thermal control design (Young, 2008). The key characteristics that enabled this are the decoupling of the thermal control subsystem from the system and sufficient control authority, or dynamic range. B.2 Satellite Modular and Reconfigurable Thermal System (SMARTS) The SMARTS concept adheres to four design rules: 1) modest radiator oversizing, 2) maximum external insulation, 3) internal isothermalization and 4) radiator heat flow modulation (Bugby, Zimbeck, and Kroliczek, 2008). The SMARTS TCS is based on a frame and panel satellite architecture consisting of multiple Al-isogrid or Al-honeycomb panels bolted together along common edges. An embedded heat pipe is placed around the edges of each panel, while C-shaped heat pipes are distributed throughout the center (Figure B.2). The combination of these two heat pipes allows for heat spreading across each panel and attempts to approach isothermal conditions.

Figure B.2: SMARTS TCS Concept (Bugby, Zimbeck, and Kroliczek, 2008).

201 Several RS SMARTS TCS configurations were modeled in SINDA based on many of the modeling requirements of Williams (2005). The one-meter cube shaped model include several different panel constructions from Al isogrid and no heat pipes up to AlAPG isogrid with one circumferential and six spreader heat pipes. B.3 Forced Air Convection Thermal Switch (FACTS) This thermal design was based on a concept of a hermetically sealed enclosure allowing the use of convection heat transfer (Williams, 2005). During the hot case, convection was utilized to increase heat transfer of the system. The fan was switched off for cold case conditions thus heat transfer is solely through conduction throughout the satellite. It was shown a conductance ratio on the order of 69:1 was achievable resulting in a more robust TCS and a significant reduction in survival heater power (Williams, 2005). The advantage of this system is using a simple DC axial fan as a thermal switch and reduced clean room requirements due to the sealed enclosure (Williams and Palo, 2006b). Disadvantages include added mass and introduced vibrations due to the fan that could be problematic for the attitude control subsystem (Williams and Palo, 2006b). B.4 HexPak The HexPak satellite architecture provides a unique method of responding to the challenges of RS by introducing a deployable structure aimed at maximizing the available radiating area (Hicks, Hashemi and Capots, 2006). It consists of stackable hexagonal bays that when unfolded provide a thermally advantageous large radiating area (Hicks, Hashemi and Capots, 2006). In effect, it provides for a linear relationship between radiating area and mass (Hicks, Enoch and Capots, 2005). During the hot case, the temperature ranged from -12°C to 39°C and -38°C to 73°C with an applied uniform heat flux of 400 W/m2 to 800 W/m2, respectively (Hicks, Hashemi and Capots, 2006). These temperatures are out of the acceptable range and therefore additional strategies must be implemented. These include passive thermal spreading to neighboring bays and embedded heat pipes. An additional concept involves the use of thermal footprints adjacent to components. These radiative areas are sized such

202 that the maximum heat dissipation requirements of the components can be achieved (Hicks, Hashemi and Capots, 2006). During the orbit cold case, temperatures ranged from -126°C up to -14°C (Hicks, Hashemi and Capots, 2006). Since this is well out of the acceptable range, survival heaters must be installed. Variable conductance joints could also be utilized between the components and the structure to reduce the capacity of these heaters (Hicks, Hashemi and Capots, 2006). B.5 SMARTBus SMARTBus is a shelf architecture consisting of several stacked modules. Shelf designs appear to be more strongly influenced by electrical engineering concepts and usually have well-defined electrical and mechanical interfaces between shelves. The removal of heat and the fixed interface (particularly where the shelf stack can only grow in one dimension) seem to be the greatest drawback for this architecture (Young, 2008). Under the SCOUT program, modules were interconnected via an external ‘backbone’ providing a thermally conductive path between modules. This aids in isothermalizing the satellite both transferring excess heat from hot modules and allowing the outside surface to radiate excess heat (Rogers, Cameron, and Jordan, 2003). Under the FEBSS program, a thermal system was developed allowing a SMARTBus vehicle of any configuration to fly in any LEO orbit at any orientation thus eliminating custom thermal analysis and design unnecessary (McDermott and Jordan, 2005). This proprietary system allows each module to maintain its thermal balance without regard to those above or below it. B.6 Integrated Thermal Energy Management System (ITEMS) The Integrated Thermal Energy Management System (ITEMS) developed by JPL is an attempt to provide universal spacecraft thermal control enabling faster and cheaper design cycles (Birur and O’Donnell, 2001). Although developed for deep space exploration (e.g. planet, moon, comet, and sun exploration) and microsatellites (i.e. 0.5 m cube at 50 W), the overall development is consistent with those for RS TCS including heat load sharing, heat rejection modulation, and minimized survival heater power.

203 The ITEMS approach utilizes a cooling loop to thermally integrate all spacecraft subsystems in conjunction with thermal switches and valves (Figure B.3). The heat rejected from one subsystem is transferred to another subsystem where the heat is needed to maintain its minimum temperature. Any excess heat generated in the spacecraft above what is needed is rejected at a deployable radiator system that uses variable emittance devices on its surface. In addition, a phase change material is used for battery thermal control. This type of architecture provides the needed flexibility and accommodates lowcost overall design and implementation.

Figure B.3: ITEMS TCS Concept (Birur and O’Donnell, 2001).

204 Appendix C - Astrodynamics

Astrodynamics is the study of a satellite’s trajectory or orbit. Although a full understanding is not necessary for the scope of work, it is important to have a grasp of basic concepts. A discussion of equations of motion, sun coordinates, classical orbital elements, thermal orbital elements, perturbations, and orbit classifications is presented. C.1 Equations of Motion The motion of a satellite is largely defined by Kepler’s three laws. The first states that the orbit of each satellite is an ellipse with the Earth at one focus. The second reads that the line joining the satellite to the Earth sweeps out equal areas in equal times. One of the consequences of this is that a satellite is slowest at apogee (furthest point from Earth) and fastest at perigee (closet point to Earth). Finally, the third law states that the square of the period of a satellite is proportional to the cube of its mean distance from the Earth. Mathematically, Newton’s Law of Gravitation says that any two bodies attract each other with a force proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. In vector form this becomes: Fg =

−G ⋅ M ⊕ ⋅ m r − μ ⋅ m r ⋅ = ⋅ . r2 r r2 r

(C.1)

Fg is the force caused by gravity, G is the universal gravitational constant, M ⊕ and m

are the masses of Earth and satellite, respectively and r is the distance from the center of the Earth to the center of the satellite. Earth’s gravitational constant, μ , a product of G and M ⊕ , equals 398,600.5 km3/s2. Combining Equation (C.1) with Newton’s 2nd Law of Motion gives the equation of motion describing the position of a Earth orbiting satellite r + ( μ ⋅ r −3 ) ⋅ r = 0 .

(C.2)

This equation assumes gravity as the only force, a spherically symmetric Earth, the Earth’s mass much greater than the satellite’s and the Earth and the satellite are the only two bodies in the system. This expression provides a tool describing a satellite’s location.

205 Another tool useful in describing the motion of a satellite is specific mechanical energy, ε , or sum of the kinetic and potential energy per unit mass (Sellers, 2005)

ε=

V2 μ − . 2 r

(C.3)

Since this is a conservative term, the sum of potential and kinetic energy must always be constant and as a result, knowing one provides enough information to determine the other if specific mechanical energy is known. A further derivation simplification of this equation was determined as shown in (Sellers, 2005) V 2 μ −μ − = . ε= 2 r 2⋅a

(C.4)

Where, V , is the satellite speed and a is the semi-major axis. For a circular orbit, a is equal to the orbital radius, r , so that we can directly calculate the velocity of a satellite, Vcir (Wertz and Larson, 2005) by, 1

1

− ⎛ μ ⎞2 ⎛ R ⎞2 Vcir = ⎜ ⎟ ≅ 7.905366 ⋅ ⎜ E ⎟ ≅ 631.3481 ⋅ r 2 . ⎝r⎠ ⎝ r ⎠ 1

(C.5)

RE is the Earth’s radius (6378 km). Therefore, satellite velocity for a circular orbit is

dependent only upon orbital radius. Mean motion, n , or average angular velocity, of a satellite becomes the following 1

⎛ μ ⎞2 n=⎜ 3⎟ ⎝a ⎠

(C.6)

which is utilized to determine orbital perturbations (Wertz and Larson, 2005). C.2 Sun Coordinates The coordinate system, mean equinox of date (MOD), is based on the intersection of the ecliptic and equatorial planes (i.e. γ direction) on a given date (Vallado, 2007). The MOD reference frame accounts for motion of the coordinate system as a result of

206 gravitational forces (Astronomical Almanac, 2007). All pertinent Sun coordinate variables illustrated in the following figure are based on this reference.

Figure C.1: Illustration of Sun Coordinate Variables. The right ascension of the Sun, Ω sun , is the angular distance measured eastward along Earth’s equator from the equinox to a plane perpendicular to the Earth’s equator and passing through the Sun (i.e. hour circle) (Vallado, 2007; Astronomical Almanac, 2007; and Wiesel, 1997). The declination of the Sun, δ , is the angular distance north or south of Earth’s equator measured along the hour circle (Astronomical Almanac, 2007). Ecliptic longitude, λ , is defined as the angular distance measured eastward along the ecliptic (i.e. the mean plane of the Earth’s orbit around the Sun) from the equinox to a plane passing through the poles of the ecliptic and the celestial object. The obliquity of ecliptic, ε , is the angle between the planes of the equator and the ecliptic and varies with Julian Day due to gravitational perturbations (Astronomical Almanac, 2007). Mean motion is a measure of the average angular velocity of an object. Therefore, mean longitude of the Sun, L , approximates the ecliptic longitude. The mean anomaly, g , describes the angle from the perihelion (i.e. the point where Earth is closet to the Sun) of an Earth moving with constant angular speed equal to the mean motion. This approximates the true anomaly, ν .

207 C.3 Classical Orbital Elements Traditionally, the description of an orbit is described with five constants and one quantity that varies with time. Together these are referred to as the six classical orbital elements (Figure C.2).

Figure C.2: Diagram of Six Classical Orbital Elements. The first element is semi-major axis which describes the size of an orbit while the second, eccentricity describes the shape (Figure C.3). In combination, these two elements fully specify the orbit (i.e. size and shape) in a single plane.

Figure C.3: Semi-major Axis and Eccentricity Diagram. Once the shape and size of an orbit is determined, it can be placed in relation to Earth. For elliptical orbits, Earth is at one of the foci. Before describing the remaining

208 orbital elements, it is important to understand two planes: the ecliptic and equatorial planes. The ecliptic plane defines the plane about which the Earth remains throughout its orbit around the sun. The equatorial plane, as its name implies, defines the plane that passes through Earth’s equator. The previously defined orbit is now placed on the equatorial plane. Further, the Vernal Equinox, also known as the Ram direction, is put in place as shown in Figure C.4.

Figure C.4: Ecliptic and Equatorial Planes along with Vernal Equinox and Orbit Normals. The third classical orbital element, inclination, is the angle between the orbital and equatorial planes. Further, it is the angle between the angular momentum vector of the orbit and the vector parallel to the Earth’s spin axis and is shown in Figure C.5.

Figure C.5: Diagram of Orbital Inclination.

209 The fourth classical orbital element is the right ascension of the ascending node (RAAN). It is the angle from the vernal equinox to the ascending node. The ascending node specifies the point at which the orbit crosses the equatorial plane traveling from south to north. This is shown in Figure C.6.

Figure C.6: Diagram of the Right Ascension of the Ascending Node (RAAN). With these references defined, the fifth classical orbital element can be defined. The argument of perigee is the angle measured from the ascending node to perigee. Perigee is the point where a satellite is closest to Earth and is shown in Figure C.7.

Figure C.7: Diagram of Argument of Perigee. The sixth classical orbital element can be defined. True anomaly is the angle measured from the argument of perigee to the satellite and is shown in Figure C.8.

210

Figure C.8: Diagram of True Anomaly. Figure C.2 provides a summary of the six classical orbital elements. For equatorial ( i = 0° ) orbits, a single angle, Π the Longitude of Perigee replaces the right ascension of the ascending node and argument of perigee. It is defined as the algebraic sum of Ω and ω . For circular (i.e. e = 0 ) orbits a single angle, u the Argument of Latitude replaces the argument of perigee and true anomaly where u = ω + ν as shown in Figure C.9. If the orbit is circular and equatorial a single angle, , true longitude specifies the angle between the vernal equinox direction and the satellite position vector.

Figure C.9: Diagram of Orbital Elements for Circular Orbits.

211 C.4 Thermal Orbital Elements Although the classical orbital elements are useful to describe the motion of satellites in orbit, they are inefficient when dealing with the satellite thermal environment. Consequently, several additional parameters will be presented. Beta angle, β , is the minimum angle between the solar vector and the orbit plane and can vary from -90° to 90° where the sign describes the direction of orbit as viewed from the Sun. Satellites with positive β appear to be going counterclockwise while negative β indicate a clockwise direction. Figure C.10 and Figure C.11 illustrate orbits with β = 0°. In Figure C.10, the inclination is 113.4° while the RAAN could be either 0° or 180° (depending upon satellite direction). In Figure C.11 the inclination is 0°.

Figure C.10: Diagram of β = 0° and i = 113.4°.

Figure C.11: Diagram of β = 0° and i = 0°.

212 Figure C.12 illustrates an orbit with a β of 90°. In this particular orientation, the inclination is also 113.4° with a RAAN of 90° or 270°.

Figure C.12: Diagram of β = 90° and i = 113.4°. As the previous figures illustrate, a β of 0° ensures that a satellite in this orbit will find itself in eclipse. A β of 90° ensures that a satellite will not be in eclipse. Further complicating the thermal environment of a satellite are β changes over time. The simplest example occurs for a satellite in an equatorial orbit (Figure C.13). This figure shows that over one year, the β changes from 0° to an absolute value of 23.4° due to the tilt of the Earth.

Figure C.13: Illustration of β Relationship Over One Year for a Circular Orbit at an Inclination of 0° and a RAAN of 0°.

213 The maximum beta angle, β max , varies as the declination of the Sun changes throughout the year and therefore changes with inclination by ± ( i + 23.4 ) . The absolute value of the maximum β varies with inclination by 1

β max = 23.4 + ⋅ ⎡⎣180 − ( i + 23.4 ) − 90 − ( i − 23.4 ) − 90 ⎤⎦ 2

(C.7)

and is shown graphically in Figure C.14.

Figure C.14: Absolute Value of the Maximum β versus i (0 to 180°). This relationship sets the limiting values of β and inclination. Further analysis was necessary to understand their interaction at interior points. Specifically, the distribution of

β for an arbitrary inclination was considered. The solar zenith angle, θ , describes the angle between the solar vector and the Earth satellite vector. For an arbitrary satellite, the minimum θ is equal to the β such that

θ≥β .

(C.8)

This relationship implies that orbits with large β will only have relatively large solar zenith angles. This is an important fact when considering environmental heat loads. For

214 satellites, the θ varies quickly throughout the orbit and can reach extremes when the Sun is at zenith ( θ = 0° ) to the Sun at nadir ( θ = 180° ). When describing the thermal environment of a satellite, it is necessary to describe the Earth/Atmosphere environment. The top of atmosphere (TOA) is described as a sphere that is 30 km greater than the equatorial radius, such that, RTOA = 6378 + 30 = 6408 km. C.5 Perturbations Although, the two-body equation of motion is quite powerful it does make several simplifying assumptions including: gravity is the only force, a spherically symmetric Earth, the Earth’s mass much greater than the Satellite’s and the Earth and the satellite are the only two bodies in the system. In particular, gravity is not the only force acting upon a satellite. Therefore, additional perturbing forces are present resulting in time varying classical orbital elements. Perturbing forces include solar radiation pressure, atmospheric drag, third-body perturbations such as gravitational forces of the Sun and the Moon, and perturbations as a result of a non-spherical Earth. Of these, perturbations due to a non-spherical Earth dominate other sources (Wertz and Larson, 2005). Earth is not spherically symmetric. In fact, it has a bulge at the equator (oblateness) of approximately 22 km (Figure C.15) because of its rotation (Sellers, 2005).

Figure C.15: Earth’s Oblateness.

215 Because of this, periodic variations in the orbital elements are present which are dominated by variations in the RAAN and the argument of perigee. The variation in RAAN is described by the following in deg/day (Wertz and Larson, 2005): 2

−2 ⎛R ⎞ Ω J 2 = −1.5 ⋅ n ⋅ J 2 ⋅ ⎜ E ⎟ ⋅ cos ( i ) ⋅ (1 − e 2 ) ⎝ a ⎠ .

≅ −2.06474 × 1014 ⋅ a



7 2

⋅ cos ( i ) ⋅ (1 − e

(C.9)

)

2 −2

The factor, J 2 , is the geopotential coefficient that dominates variations in RAAN and argument of perigee. As Equation (C.9) illustrates, the variation in RAAN is greatest at low inclinations and altitudes and decreases to zero at an inclination of 90°. The variation in the argument of perigee is described by the following in deg/day (Wertz and Larson, 2005): 2

−2 ⎛R ⎞ ωJ 2 = 0.75 ⋅ n ⋅ J 2 ⋅ ⎜ E ⎟ ⋅ ( 4 − 5 ⋅ sin 2 ( i ) ) ⋅ (1 − e2 ) ⎝ a ⎠ .

≅ 1.03237 × 1014 ⋅ a



7 2

⋅ ( 4 − 5 ⋅ sin 2 ( i ) ) ⋅ (1 − e

(C.10)

)

2 −2

Equation (C.10) becomes zero at an inclination of 63.4° and 116.6°. C.6 Orbital Classifications Orbits can be categorized by their position relative to the radiation environment, more specifically the Van Allen belts. This environment undergoes a significant change at an altitude of approximately 1000 km (Wertz and Larson, 2005). Because of this, Low Earth Orbits (LEO) are those defined above an altitude with significant atmospheric drag and below the severe radiation environment. This occurs in the range of 200 to 1000 km. Medium Earth Orbits (MEO) must contend with the harsh radiation environment and therefore require additional protection. Geosynchronous Orbits (GEO) occur well above the Van Allen belts and are maintained at an altitude such that the corresponding orbit period is similar to Earth’s. Because of this, GEO maintain relatively stationary positions with respect to Earth. Geostationary orbits occur with inclinations of 0° and therefore have fixed positions over the equator. Other specialized orbits are often encountered.

216 At unique combinations of altitude and inclination, orbital perturbations due to Earth’s oblateness equal Earth’s natural rotational rate. This is achieved by matching the variations of the RAAN with Earth’s rotation rate which occurs when Ω J 2 ≅ 0.9856 deg/day (Wertz and Larson, 2005). Under these circumstances, β becomes relatively constant thus providing for a Sun synchronous orbit (Figure C.16).

Figure C.16: Sun Synchronous Orbit with β = 0°. A Sun synchronous orbit has an orbital plane that remains fixed with respect to the Sun; consequently, the corresponding solar zenith angle changes significantly. Figure C.17 illustrates a Sun synchronous orbit at an altitude of 650 km, RAAN of 0° and inclination of 98°. As shown, at an altitude of 650 km and inclination of 98°, the β history remains relatively constant. As a result, a satellite on this orbit would see the same relative angle with respect to the Sun. Molniya Orbits are those with a high eccentricity ( e ~ 0.75) with periods of approximately two revolutions per day and inclinations of 63.4° and possibly 116.6° (Wertz and Larson, 2005). As discussed previously, these inclinations result in a zero rate of change of the argument of perigee ( ωJ 2 ≅ 0 ). Perigee is placed in the Southern Hemisphere thus causing a satellite to remain in the northern hemisphere for approximately 11 hours per orbit.

217

Figure C.17: β versus Time for Select Inclinations at an Altitude of 650 km (Beginning on March 21st 2007 and RAAN = 0°). Several orbits have been identified with application to RS. These include highlyelliptical orbits (HEO) like the cobra and magic orbits, a medium Earth orbit (MEO) and circular orbits including the LEO Sun synchronous, LEO Fast Access, and LEO Repeat Coverage orbits. Key characteristics including typical inclinations, orbit sizes, mean response times and available times for these are shown in Table C.1. RS has identified that missions will be either LEO or HEO. LEO missions will range from equatorial to Sun synchronous orbits. In addition, altitude requirements were impacted by drag requirements. Drag at low altitudes must be overcome by propulsion lending to a minimum altitude of 350 km. To meet 25-year atmospheric drag re-entry requirements, a maximum altitude of 705 km is required (ORSBS-001, 2007). The reference HEO mission is a 63.4° inclination elliptical orbit (i.e. Magic) to allow for long dwell times necessary for communications missions.

228 Appendix F – Numerical Model Investigation

Creation of a satellite numerical model was necessary to illustrate other works including component placement optimization and thermal control approach comparisons. Building confidence in the accuracy of the numerical results can be accomplished with a thorough investigation of various numerical modeling parameters. These include number of orbital simulations, nodal resolution, Monte-Carlo Rays per Node, and number of orbital positions. Before these are investigated, an understanding of the software tool is developed. F.1 Description of Software Tool The numerical model was created using Thermal Desktop® as a CAD based interface to the SINDA/FLUINT equation solver. Thermal Desktop® and SINDA/FLUINT are widely accepted tools for spacecraft thermal design. All computational analysis was done using a 2.5 GHz dual-core processor. Originally released in 1996, Thermal Desktop® and its integrated modules, RadCAD and FloCAD allow users to quickly build, analyze, and post-process thermal models. RadCAD® is a module used to generate radiation exchange factors and orbital heating rates. It uses an oct-tree accelerated Monte-Carlo Ray-Tracing algorithm to compute radiation exchange and view factors. FloCAD® generates flow networks and calculates convective heat transfer factors. The output of Thermal Desktop®, RadCAD, and FloCAD is processed in order to create inputs for SINDA/FLUINT. Since its introduction in 1986 SINDA/FLUINT has become an industry standard thermal/fluid analyzer and is intended primarily for designing and analyzing thermal systems represented in electrical analog, lumped parameter form. Given properly prepared inputs, SINDA/FLUINT can solve both finite-difference and finite-element equations. Upon running an individual simulation, Thermal Desktop® will first calculate radiation conductors and heating rates. Nodes and conductors are then computed and output in a format useable for SINDA/FLUINT. A SINDA/FLUINT model is then built

229 and run. Two typical solution routines - a transient solver and a steady-state solution routine - were utilized for simulations. F.1.1 Transient Solver A generic transient solution routine (neglecting applied heat rates) seeks to solve Equation (F.1) where Tnew and Told are temperatures at the next and current times, respectively. The weighting factor, λ , determines what type of solution method is utilized (e.g. explicit or implicit) as shown here Tnew = Told + f (λ ⋅ Tnew ,(1 − λ ) ⋅ Told ) .

(F.1)

The subroutine TRANSIENT (a.k.a. FWDBCK) performs a transient thermal analysis by implicit forward-backward differencing (λ ≠ 0) . A heat balance equation is written about a diffusion node as a forward finite difference equation and a second as a backward finite difference equation. The resulting sum of these two equations is (Cullimore, Ring, and Johnson, 2008):

(

) . ⎤ ⋅ ( (T ) − (T ) ) ⎦⎥

N 4 4 2 ⋅ Ci ⋅ (Ti n +1 − Ti n ) = 2 ⋅ Q i + ∑ ⎡G ji ⋅ (T jn +1 − Ti n +1 ) + Gˆ ji ⋅ (T jn +1 ) − (Ti n +1 ) ⎤ ⎢ ⎦⎥ Δt j =1 ⎣ N

+ ∑ ⎡G ji ⋅ (T jn − Ti n ) + Gˆ ji ⎢ j =1 ⎣

where, Ci

= thermal capacitance of node i

Δt

= time step equal to t n +1 − t n

Ti n +1

= temperature of node i at t n +1

Ti n

= temperature of node i at t n

Qi

= source/sink for node i

T jn +1

= temperature of node j at t n +1

T jn

= temperature of node j at t n

G ji

= linear conductor attaching node j to node i

n 4 j

n 4

i

(F.2)

230 Gˆ ji

= radiation conductor attaching node j to node i

N

= number of nodes

This equation uses the average of the temperature derivatives at the current and next times to predict the overall temperature change (i.e. trapezoidal method). It is 2nd order accurate in time and 1st order in space. The set of equations are solved by iterative relaxation or simultaneous matrix methods until diffusion node temperatures change less than the control parameter DRLXCA and arithmetic nodes change less than the control parameter ARLXCA, and until energy imbalances are tolerable. F.1.2 Steady-State Solver The steady-state solution routine treats diffusion nodes like arithmetic (i.e. zero capacitance) nodes and seeks to find the root of Equation (F.3) where Q are the heating rates and T are node temperatures Q = f ( T) .

(F.3)

The steady-state solution algorithm STEADY (a.k.a. FASTIC) iteratively solves for the temperatures. For the k + 1 iteration, the energy balance on node i becomes (Cullimore, Ring, and Johnson, 2008):

(

i −1

) . ⎤ ) )⎦⎥

4 4 0 = Q i + ∑ ⎡G ji ⋅ (T jk +1 − Ti k +1 ) + Gˆ ji ⋅ ( T jk +1 ) − (Ti k +1 ) ⎤ ⎢ ⎦⎥ j =1 ⎣ N

(

4 + ∑ ⎡G ji ⋅ (T jk − Ti k +1 ) + Gˆ ji ⋅ (T jk ) − (Ti k +1 ⎢ j =i ⎣

4

where, T jk +1

= temperature of node j at iteration k + 1

Ti k +1

= temperature of node i at iteration k + 1

T jk

= temperature of node j at iteration k

The default solution routine for both steady-state and transient solutions is an algebraic multi-grid method in combination with a conjugate gradient method. This

(F.4)

231 AMG-CG method, referred to as MATMET=12 in Thermal Desktop®, improves speed and memory utilization especially for large problems and/or dense matrices (Cullimore, Ring, and Johnson, 2008). In this approach, all thermal submodels are combined into a single matrix and solved simultaneously. Internal iterations are utilized for solving and therefore, this approach is subject to speed/accuracy tradeoffs dictated by the AMGERR control constant with a default value of 1.0E-10. F.2 Description of Numerical Testing Model A model was developed consistent with current responsive satellite architectures (Arritt et al., 2008). A 1.0 m x 1.0 m x 1.0 m six-sided frame-and-panel construction satellite was used with a honeycomb panel construction having 0.00127 m thick Al 6061-T6 facesheets and a 0.0254 m thick Al 5052 honeycomb material. Material properties were based on Gilmore (2002). A uniform heat-flux source was centered on the interior of each panel to represent an electrical component. Each component was modeled as a square surface utilizing an arithmetic (i.e. zero capacitance) node. Component size varied for each analysis and is described later. Heat generation of these six internal components totaled 300 W and was conducted to the panel with a contact conductance of 110 W/m2-K (Gilmore, 2002). Panel to panel conductance was 12 W/K to simulate panelto-panel longerons and bolted joints (Bugby, Zimbeck, and Kroliczek, 2008). All heat generation was ultimately dissipated to a deep space environment (0 K) through radiation from the exterior of the panel surfaces. Exterior panel surfaces had a solar absorptivity of

α = 0.1 while surface infrared emissivity was ε = 0.8. F.3 Number of Orbital Simulations An investigation was carried out to understand the effect of orbit number on simulation accuracy. For each trial, a steady-state routine was completed first to initialize all node temperatures. Next, several transient orbital simulations were completed. Both hot- and cold-case orbits were simulated for three types of panel constructions described in the following table. These cover a broad range of panel thermal capacitance and conductivity.

239 From these figures, it appears that the 2nd orbit simulation provides quasi steady-state conditions. In addition, it appears that an orbit simulation exits where temporal temperature results do not change for any subsequent simulations. This true steady-state simulation condition was found for each case and subsystem. The 2nd orbit result were compared these steady-state results and the maximum percent difference (absolute value) was retrieved. The results are summarized in the following tables.

The –X subsystem placed on the high-capacitance panel construction yielded the largest maximum percent difference value of 0.153%. This value occurred during one time step and therefore, orbital averaged percent difference would be much smaller. This is a

240 substantial improvement over using 1st orbit results. Although not presented in tabular form, the largest maximum percent difference value for 1st orbit results was 1.5%. This occurred for the cold-case +X subsystem using nominal panel construction. Therefore, 2nd orbit simulation results provide a reasonable estimate of true steady-state orbit simulation conditions without excess computational expense. F.4 Nodal Resolution Analysis The transient solution routine is 1st order in space. Consequently, nodal resolution is significant and must be addressed. A study was done using the case study satellite structure parameters previously described with nominal panel construction (i.e. aluminum facesheets with honeycomb core). Several simulations were run over a wide-range of inplane nodal resolution values and subsystem sizes. Edge nodes were utilized for panel construction. Table F.5 summarizes simulation parameters that were utilized for this study. Note that many of these parameters were based on analysis discussed later.

F.5 Monte-Carlo Rays per Node Analysis RadCAD® uses a Monte-Carlo stochastic integration technique for computing radiation conductors ( Gˆ ji ) and heating rates. Rays are emitted from each node and traced

242 around the geometry simulating the effect of a bundle of photons. When a ray strikes another surface, energy is decremented from the ray and absorbed by the struck surface. The ray is then reflected or transmitted, according to surface optical properties. A Gˆ ji for a given node i and j is computed by keeping track of these ray firings and calculated as shown in Gˆ ij = ε ⋅ A ⋅ Bij

(F.5)

where ε and A are the surface emissivity and area, respectively. Bij is the fraction of energy that leaves node i and is absorbed by node j by all

possible reflection paths (i.e. direct and indirect). Hence, the sum of

∑B

ij

for any given

j

node i is equal to unity. For a single trial, Bij is calculated by shooting a single ray from node i and recording the fraction of energy absorbed at node j . This process is repeated N rays times and the average of these trials gives the final result. The error for a given Gˆ ji

is based on the variability in the sample of ray firings and estimated based on a confidence interval of 90% and shown in (Panczak et al., 2008) Errorij = 1.65 ⋅

1 − Bij N rays ⋅ Bij

⋅ 100 .

(F.6)

This equation illustrates that error associated with the Monte-Carlo Ray-Tracing process is inversely proportional to the square root of the number of rays shot. Therefore, to reduce the error by half, the number of rays fired need to be quadrupled. Additionally, error depends on Bij . A relatively large Bij implies a relatively higher number of emitted rays that were captured (for a given i and j ). This yields a lower sample variance and therefore error estimate. Hence, larger Bij have correspondingly lower associated errors for a given N rays . Rays shot from both nodes i and j , result in two estimates of the Gˆ ji between them. RadCAD takes this factor into account when combining Bij and B ji to compute the

243 final Gˆ ji for SINDA/FLUINT. The ray tallies are weighted by their areas and error estimates, and always produce a Gˆ ji with less error than either individual estimate. For example, if the areas and emissivities of the two nodes are the same, then Bij equals B ji and combining the ray tallies yields a result that has an error reduced by the square root of two. As this Equation (F.6) shows, N rays impacts simulation error for given values of Bij . Consequently, a study was conducted to address the impact of this issue. Panczak et al. (2008) recommend that a series of cases with an increasing number of rays be conducted to demonstrate accuracy. A study was conducted utilizing the case study previously described. Several simulation were run with increasing levels of N rays (i.e. 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000, 10000, 20000, 100000). For each, the maximum and minimum 2nd orbit temperatures were recorded along with the total computational time. The following table summarizes simulation parameters that were utilized for this study. Note that some of these parameters were based on analysis discussed later. Table F.6: Numerical Model Parameters for Monte-Carlo Rays per Node Analysis. Numerical

The results are shown in the following figure. These results show that increasing rays per node changes the results slightly, but significantly impacts the computational time required.

From these figures, it appears that the decreasing rays per node does not significantly affect maximum and minimum temperature results. It appears to slightly decrease maximum temperatures and increase minimum temperatures. In combination, these two trends imply a more pronounced effect on maximum subsystem temperature difference. Therefore, maximum temperature difference versus rays per node results were analyzed in more detail in the following tables. Table F.7: Rays per Node Analysis Hot-Case Summary.

These tables demonstrate that decreasing rays per node down to 3,000 has little impact on maximum temperature difference results. However, it has a significant impact on computational time. Consequently, 5,000 rays per node was selected to provide reasonable results without excess computational expense. Rays per node are used to determine internal and external Bij along with external heating rates. Analysis revealed that further reductions in computational time could be achieved by tuning individual rays per node values (i.e. internal Bij , external Bij , and external heating rates) without sacrificing results. Further analysis will be conducted if this is deemed necessary. F.6 Analysis of Number of Orbital Positions The orbital heating rates are output to SINDA/FLUINT in two forms: average and position dependant. When a steady-state solution is called in SINDA/FLUINT, the average heating rate (time-weighted average of all positions in the heating rate case) is used in the solution. When a transient solution is called, the position-dependent values are interpolated using a cyclical, linear interpolation based on the solution time (Cullimore, Ring, and Johnson, 2008). Computing orbital heating rates using the MonteCarlo Ray-Tracing method, rays are shot from the node to the source. If the ray is not absorbed by intervening surfaces, the ray is reversed, direct energy is deposited into the

246 node and the ray is reflected. The traversal of the ray for the reflected energy is the same as traversing the ray for Gˆ ji calculations. It seemed likely that the number of orbital positions would affect simulation results. Therefore, a study was conducted to determine the impact of number of orbital positions on resulting maximum subsystem temperature, minimum subsystem temperature, and maximum subsystem temperature difference. Table F.9 summarizes simulation parameters that were utilized for this study. The results are shown in Figure F.9. These results show that decreasing number of orbital positions changes the results slightly, but significantly impacts the computational time required. It should be noted that an additional two orbital positions are included for each analysis to account for shadow crossings. From this figure, it appears that the decreasing orbital positions does affect maximum and minimum temperature results along with maximum subsystem temperature difference. Maximum temperature difference versus orbital position results were analyzed in more detail in Table F.10 and Table F.11.

248 These tables demonstrate that decreasing rays per node down to 12 significantly reduces the required computational time with little effect on results (i.e. ~0.3% difference over 36 orbital positions). Consequently, 12 orbital positions were selected to provide reasonable results without excess computational expense.

249 Appendix G – Characteristic Component Design Cases

Testing component placement optimization algorithms, evaluating quasi-isothermal conditions, and investigating required control authority necessitates the development of a comprehensive set of characteristic component design cases consistent with RS missions. Each design case is characterized by a total orbital averaged power, Ptotal , distributed over N components. Allocation of power over the n components is defined by a set of

distribution curves consistent with typical power allocations found in the literature. These design cases along with design orbits will lead to a systematic method of evaluating future RS TCS design and development efforts. G.1 Reference Missions Reference missions based on the works of Williams’ (2005) low-capability (LCB) and high-capability bus (HCB) FACTS approach, a representative military satellite, and Young’s (2008) low-capability (LCB), medium-capability (MCB) and high-capability (HCB) TherMMS concept provided the basis for the development of the design cases. For each reference mission, components were organized by subsystem including Attitude Determination and Control (ADCS), Orbit Determination and Control (ODCS), Telemetry Tracking and Command (TTCS), Command and Data Handling (CDHS), and Electrical Power (EPS). Refer to G.3 for a detailed explanation of each of these. All components were included in the overall mass and power budget but those not meeting the requirements of reconfigurable placement were not included in the overall component count. This includes solar arrays and wiring harnesses to name a few. Further, Thermal Control (TCS) and Structure and Mechanisms (SMS) subsystems were included to appropriately define total mass and do not add to the component numbers. Table G.1 through Table G.6 shows subsystem components for each of six reference missions. Included in each table are number of components along with individual and total component mass and orbital averaged power.

256 A summary of reference missions (Table G.7) includes number of components, total bus mass, and total bus power. Total power attributed to reconfigurable components accounts for over 92% of total bus power for all of the cases. The difference in power can be attributed to devices which provide a heat source but will not be able to be repositioned (e.g. wiring). Future analyses were limited to reconfigurable components.

This information was plotted in Figure G.1.

Figure G.1: Component Power versus Component Number for Each Reference Mission. G.2 Design Case Distribution Development Each reference mission has a maximum component power, P1 (i.e. power of the first component after sorting), and maximum number of components, N . The component

Both normalized power and component number then ranged from 0 to 1. Normalization provided a way of comparing reference missions on an equal basis and shows a generalized shape or distribution of power versus component number (Figure G.2).

Figure G.2: Normalized Component Power versus Normalized Component Number for Each of Six Reference Missions. From this plot, four design cases were developed which capture a broad range of potential component distributions. Case A was based on the FACTS HCB. Case B is an averaged model based on all six reference missions. Case C is based on the representative military satellite. Finally, Case D is a uniform distribution such that all components will have equal power. The mathematical model used to curve fit each of these cases was based on Equation (G.3).

258 y = (1 − x ) ⋅ e s⋅ x

(G.3)

This model has an exponential base with an additional term which forces the curve to one for x equal to zero (first component) and zero for x of one (number of components plus one). This was consistent with the normalization process. A Mathcad routine was developed using the ‘genfit’ function that utilizes the Levenberg-Marquardt method for minimization to determine the exponential value s , which describes the shape of each curve fit (Table G.8). For each, the Pearson coefficient of correlation, ρ , was calculated to provide a measure of goodness of fit of each model. The model performed well when fitting through individual reference mission data (e.g. Case A). However, it did not perform as well for Case B due to inherent variability between reference missions.

259 The four design cases provide insight into the shape of component distribution but this information must be scaled for various total power and component numbers. A magnitude factor, m , was used to scale power and is defined as the fraction of total power, Ptotal , of the first (i.e. largest) component, P1 as shown here m=

P1 . Ptotal

(G.4)

Additionally, the actual component number, j (1 < j < N ) , was scaled as shown in x=

j −1 . N −1

(G.5)

Therefore, the power of the j th component, Pj , for each design case is based on the total power as shown in j −1 s⋅ j −1 N −1 )⋅e . Pj = m ⋅ Ptotal ⋅ (1 − N −1

(G.6)

Summing all individual powers gives total component power, Ptotal , illustrated by N

Ptotal = ∑ Pj = ∑ m ⋅Ptotal ⋅ (1 −

Therefore, values of m are a function of total component number and s values only as follows: m=

1 . j −1 s⋅ j −1 N −1 (1 − )⋅e ∑ N −1 j =1 N

(G.8)

Variation of m for various combinations of s and N are shown for the first three design cases (Table G.9). Case D is not based on these values. The N values provide a range consistent with RS spacecraft.

G.3 Subsystems G.3.1 Attitude Determination and Control Subsystem (ADCS) Critical to the success of a satellite’s mission is its proper orientation in orbit. Without it, payload components may not be adequately positioned to take full advantage of their capabilities. Specific to the mission is the level of accuracy required for orientation.

262 Responsible for these tasks is the attitude determination and control subsystem (ADCS). The ADCS is responsible for determining the current attitude of the satellite along with providing the controls and equipment necessary to make any changes. In essence, it measures and maintains a spacecraft’s position orientation about its center of mass (Wertz and Larson, 2005). Several methods of determining the current orientation of a satellite are available each providing different levels of capability. These include sun sensors, star sensors, horizon sensors, magnetometers, GPS receivers, and gyroscopes. Sun sensors are relatively accurate (< 0.01°) and reliable devices and as a result are utilized often (Wertz and Larson, 2005). They are basically light sensors that provide information regarding the location of the sun with respect to a fixed reference on the satellite. As expected, for certain orbits such as LEO, eclipse periods make these devices unusable at times. Alternatives include star sensors. As their name implies, star sensors operate by sensing star locations and either utilize these as reference points or compare them to a database of star patterns. As with sun sensors, star sensors are susceptible to interference by the Sun, Moon, and Earth and as a result are often utilized with other sensing technologies. The Earth provides another point of reference for attitude determination. Since it occupies a relatively large portion of viewable area especially for LEO, a more refined and specific point on Earth must be located. Horizon or Earth sensors locate the transition from deep space to that of Earth’s atmosphere. In some cases, Earth sensors detect a narrow band of radiation emitted by CO2 in the atmosphere (Sellers, 2005). Accuracies of these devices are typically between 0.1 and 0.25° (Wertz and Larson, 2005). Magnetometers measure the magnetic field caused by Earth and compare those readings to a known map thus providing attitude information. These devices are commonly used in conjunction with other sensor types to improve accuracy. Similar to their use for terrestrial applications, GPS receivers can be used to determine a spacecraft’s attitude. Two receivers are required to provide a differential signal upon which attitude can be determined. These devices offer low cost and weight although currently do not have the accuracy of other technologies. Gyroscopes provide the last method of attitude determination. They provide an inertial reference and measure any deviations from this. This information is provided at a relatively high rate but information

263 regarding an absolute position is not provided. Because of this, they are utilized in combination with other sensor types to fill in the gaps. Gyroscopes by themselves provide only one or two axes of information. An inertial reference unit (IRU) is a grouping of gyroscopes that provide three-axis information while inertial measurement units (IMU) provide the same information in addition to velocity sensing via accelerometers. Without any way to control a satellite, attitude determination would be useless. Several concepts are available to provide appropriate steering or control of the spacecraft. These include gravity gradient, spin control, and three-axis control. Gravity gradient control is a passive method that utilizes the natural gravity field of Earth. Since gravitational forces vary with the cube of the orbital radius, elongated spacecrafts or objects have different forces applied to different ends. Because of this, elongated spacecraft are naturally aligned. Spin controlled satellites are another passive control method in which a satellite is spun. Based on the conservation of momentum, the spin axis then remains relatively fixed in inertial space. Another advantage of this control method is that most components see an average thermal environment making thermal management more tractable. The final control method is three-axis that is also the most popular. As its name implies, control is maintained about each of three orthogonal axes. As a result, this method is the most accurate and stable but also the most complex. This control method is accomplished utilizing one of two methods. The first utilizes momentum bias while the second utilizes zero momentum. Momentum bias operates on the same principle as spin-stabilized satellites. That is, a momentum wheel is mounted and spun to provide stiffness to the satellite. This single wheel is typically mounted normal to the orbital plane. Zero momentum systems utilize three momentum wheels each aligned along an axis. In a normal state, these wheels are not spun, but in reaction to disturbances, they spin up to provide the necessary reaction to provide overall stability of the satellite. If enough disturbances are present, the wheels may become saturated. That is, they cannot be spun any faster. When this occurs, external torques must be applied to allow the momentum wheels to be slowed or desaturated. This is commonly accomplished utilizing magnetic torque rods. These devices are basically

264 coiled wires which when energized react to Earth’s natural magnetic field and thus provide the required external torques. An alternative to three axis momentum wheels are control moment gyros (CMG). They operate similarly to three-axis momentum wheels but they are mounted on gimbals giving them further flexibility to not only change spin rates but also momentum direction. They are high weight and cost devices but provide relatively fast maneuvering (Wertz and Larson, 2005). G.3.2 Orbit Determination and Control Subsystem (ODCS) As the ADCS provides information regarding the orientation of a spacecraft about its center of mass, the ODCS provides information regarding the position of the center of mass. In combination, the ADCS and ODCS provide information necessary to describe the position and orientation of a spacecraft. The traditional method to determine spacecraft orbit is through a ground tracking station. A disadvantage of this system is that several passes are required to provide accurate orbit determination (Wertz and Larson, 2005). A modern method of obtaining the same information is with the Tracking and Data Relay Satellite (TDRS). Two TDRS satellites are required to provide 85 to 100% of orbit determination for LEO. In addition, this approach is more accurate than most ground tracking systems (Wertz and Larson, 2005). G.3.3 Telemetry, Tracking, and Command Subsystem (TTCS) Without a way to communicate with a satellite, they would be virtually useless. The telemetry, tracking, and command subsystem (TTCS) provides a necessary connection between ground systems and a spacecraft. It provides spacecraft payload, health and status information to ground equipment and sends commands up to the spacecraft. These subsystem lock onto ground station signals, receive and process uplink signals, transmit subsystem data including health and status along with providing satellite position information. Considerations for any TTCS include access, frequency, and data characteristics (Wertz and Larson, 2005). Access describes the ability to provide a clear path to the spacecraft antenna and supply the required antenna gain. Frequency discusses the

265 internationally approved band utilized. Standard types include S-Band at 2 GHz, X-Band at 8 GHz and Ku-Band at 12 GHz. Data characteristics include bandwidth, error rates, and required RF power levels. The Space Ground Link Subsystem (SGLS) provides uplink and downlink on S-Band frequencies at 1.75 to 1.85 GHz and 2.20 to 2.30 GHz, respectively. The Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System (TDRSS) is a cross-link system providing uplink and downlink on S-Band, K-Band and Ku-Band frequencies. G.3.4 Command and Data Handling Subsystem (CDHS) The CDHS provides the capability necessary to receive, process, store, and distribute commands to and from other spacecraft subsystems. As such, it includes devices such as computer processors and hard drives. Typical activities of the CDHS include telemetry processing, time maintenance, and failure detection among others (Wertz and Larson, 2005). G.3.5 Electrical Power Subsystem (EPS) The EPS includes four general categories of equipment. These include power sources, energy storage, power distribution, power regulation, and control. Power sources include photovoltaic solar cells; static power sources that use heat sources for direct thermal to electric conversion; dynamic power sources that utilize Brayton, Stirling or Rankine cycles; and fuel cells (Wertz and Larson, 2005). Of these, photovoltaic solar cells are the most common for Earth orbiting spacecraft. Inner thermal performance includes such thermally sensitive devices as batteries, optic instrumentation, and individual payloads. The most sensitive of these are batteries that typically must be maintained in a range of -5°C to 15°C 200 W (Baturkin, 2005). G.3.6 Structure and Mechanisms Subsystem (SMS) The SMS includes all devices necessary to support and fasten all other subsystems. A variety of technologies is available including honeycomb panels and advanced composites among others.

266 G.3.7 Payload The payload includes the devices that all other subsystems are serving and are the reason for spacecraft. These devices are based heavily on satellite missions and design. G.3.8 Thermal Control Subsystem (TCS) The task of the TCS is to provide a comfortable environment for all spacecraft components. This requires that all components be maintained within required temperature limits. Operational temperature limits are those imposed when components are operating while survival temperature limits must be met at all times. Two types of thermal control are available. Passive thermal control utilizes technologies that do not require any external control. This includes items such as materials, coatings, and surface finishes. Active thermal control is more complex and includes devices that require an active external control. This includes such devices as heaters and two-phase systems.

267 Appendix H – Hot- and Cold-Case Temporal Flux Characteristics

The following provides a detailed account of the hot- and cold-case orbits. Figure H.1 shows orbital positions for both hot- and cold-case orbits. These images were generated using Thermal Desktop®.

a) Hot-Case Orbit b) Cold-Case Orbit Figure H.1: Hot- and Cold-Case Orbit Illustrations. The following figures show total, direct solar, albedo, and OLR incident fluxes for both design orbits. As shown from these figures, the most significant difference between these orbits is the absence of eclipse for the hot case resulting in overall higher averaged heat fluxes. In addition, the most significant incident flux source is due to direct solar.

313 Appendix N – Summary of Reduced-Order Model Coefficients

The following section provides the model form and coefficients necessary to replicate the reduced-order models developed and evaluated in CHAPTER 8. The form of the model (i.e. Equation (8.8) and (8.9)) was reduced to the following. 128

k

i =1

s =1

yˆ ( x* ) = μˆ + ∑ Ci ⋅ exp[ − ∑θ s ( xis − x *s ) 2 ]

(N.1)

The form of this model has one coefficient, Ci , for each training data point (i.e. Appendix L) and therefore 128 coefficients are necessary. The μˆ and θ s parameters were estimated using maximum likelihood methods as described in CHAPTER 8. Resulting coefficients (i.e. θ s , μˆ , and Ci ) for the eight categorical models (refer to Table 8.6) and three responses (i.e. Tmax, Tmin, and Tmaxd) are summarized in Table N.1 through Table N.24. As an example, the Tmax response for model LH000 was based on the training data of Appendix L and coefficients of Table N.1. The resulting Tmax reduced-order LH000 model is summarized as follows yˆ(x * ) = 706.618 + 6,557.818 ⋅ e −73,335.005 ⋅ e

[ − [6.123E-08⋅(514.961− x*s )2 +...+1.909E+00⋅(0.743− x*s )2 ]]

[ − [6.123E-08⋅(510.709 − x*s )2 +...+1.909E+00⋅(0.402 − x*s )2 ]]

+ ... +
