A practical launcher thermal analysis tool for three-axis stabilized GEO communication satellites

Increasing payload power over the years is essential. This creates more dissipation on the satellite. The size of the satellite increases with increased payload dissipation. Even though there are many launchers which are available on the market, selecting the launcher and choosing the right dimension of the satellite is important for preliminary design of the satellite. Therefore, A Practical Launcher Thermal Analysis Tool for 3-Axis Stabilized Spacecraft Type on the Geostationary Satellite was developed. The aim of this tool is to estimate satellite dimension with the launcher type according to given satellite payload dissipation based on 3-axis stabilized spacecraft type. In this tool, the satellite uses the north and south panel as radiative areas. The rest of the satellite is covered by the insulation. Solar array dimensions and antennas are also considered as main parameters. The Practical Launcher Thermal Analysis Tool for 3-Axis Stabilized Spacecraft Type on the Geostationary Satellite allows selection the optimum radiator sizing for satellite payload heat rejection. It calculates the dimension of the north and south panels of the satellite. The Practical Launcher Thermal Analysis Tool can be a useful tool for the early design stage of three-axis stabilized GEO communication satellites.
