ATI's Spacecraft Thermal Control course
|
|
Summary:
This is a fast paced two-day course for system
engineers and managers with an interest in
improving their understanding of spacecraft
thermal design. All phases of thermal design
analysis are covered in enough depth to give a
deeper understanding of the design process and
of the materials used in thermal design. Program
managers and systems engineers will also
benefit from the bigger picture information and
tradeoff issues.
The goal is to have the student come away
from this course with an understanding of how
analysis, design, thermal devices, thermal
testing and the interactions of thermal design
with the overall system design fit into the overall
picture of satellite design. Case studies and
lessons learned illustrate the importance of
thermal design and the current state of the art.
Instructor:
Clarence Wingate has 30 years of experience in thermal design
analysis and test at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics
Laboratory where he was supervisor of the thermal design section in the
Space Department.. He also taught thermal control in the Hopkins
evening college and is author of the chapter on thermal design of the
award-winning text Fundamentals of Space Systems. A past member of
the AIAA Thermophysics TC and the Space Systems TC, he is now an
independent consultant.
