Cubesat design optimization: a detailed thermal model coupled with system power budget analysis (Maya HTT)
This session will explore a complete and efficient workflow for cubesat design that reduces costs and schedules, shortens design times, and boosts your competitive edge.
Maya HTT will talk us through their process from end-to-end, including:
· Power system modeling
· Detailed thermal modeling
· Optimization and automation workflows
Taking a system-level approach to power system design allows us to couple the design with a detailed thermal model using the FMI standard. Additionally, they are able to import orbit and mission planning from GMAT. By optimizing the whole system using a multi-objective design study, they keep the focus on reducing mass while ensuring power generation, storage, and temperature control are maintained. As a final check, they use the results to assess thermo-elastic distortion using mapped temperatures.
