Features: This book comprehensively explains the basic principles, design, analysis, experimental methods, and engineering applications of spacecraft thermal control technology, and also covers related issues of thermal control for manned spacecraft. The book is divided into 10 chapters. Chapter 1 is an introduction, briefly outlining the types of spacecraft, thermal control requirements, and mission objectives. Chapters 2 and 3 focus on the fundamental knowledge of heat transfer and the space environment related to spacecraft thermal control technology. Chapters 4 to 6 provide a detailed explanation of spacecraft thermal control technology, including passive and active thermal control as well as typical thermal control hardware products. Chapter 7 primarily deals with the calculation of spacecraft external thermal flux, thermal mathematical models, and their correction methods. Chapter 8 covers thermal control system design methods and typical design cases. Chapter 9 is dedicated to the ground thermal simulation test technology for spacecraft. Chapter 10 introduces new technologies and development directions in spacecraft thermal control.
