Project Overview
Project Vision
The mission of the project is to design, analyze and test a scalable prototype of a thermal heater controller for the Space Systems Division of ITT. The controller will be present in future satellite-imaging systems.
Project Background
The system can be described as a group of distributed, autonomous thermal control units that share the same power input. The satellite thermal heater controller is a single master multiple slave system that can be arrayed in a distributed fashion with centralized control.
Project Objectives
The team in P09141 will engage in the mission of developing the Thermal Heater Controller for ITT. The product shall operate by encoding and decoding modulated signals through the power lines. The product shall allow for communication between the components in the system, thermally stabilize critical optical subsystems and be packaged to operate in a space environment.
The team will need to develop an enclosure for the slaves and representative thermal loads for testing the thermal performance. The team will need to demonstrate compliance to the vibration and thermal specifications.The slaves must be able to communicate through wiring to a master unit.
