    This paper investigated the effect of filling pressure on the operating characteristics of a gravity-assisted cryogenic loop heat pipe(CLHP) for use in gravity environments such as terrestrial and lunar environments. The CLHP wick is made of sintered stainless-steel fibers with a pore radius of 1.56 μm and designed with a heat transport distance of 2.05 m. The experiments were conducted under gravity-assisted conditions (the condenser was placed 0.1 m higher than the evaporator). Notably, the filling pressure originated from the assumed vapor-liquid distribution in the CLHP under steady-state conditions. The filling pressure was varied from 2.9 MPa to 3.4 MPa in 0.1 MPa increments for six different conditions. Specifically, (1) 2.9 MPa and (2) 3.0 MPa are conditions where the heat leakage due to the vapor phase in the evaporator core is large, while (3) 3.1 MPa and (4) 3.2 MPa are conditions where there is no vapor phase in the evaporator core and the surplus vapor phase escapes to the CC. In general, this condition is considered to be the optimum amount of working fluid for room-temperature LHPs when designing. (5) 3.3 MPa and (6) 3.4 MPa are overfilling conditions that cause the CC to be filled with liquid. The results revealed that the higher the filling pressure, the more obvious the variation in operating temperature caused by the transition of drive modes. The maximum heat transfer capability reached 25 W in cases (1)-(4). In cases (5) and (6), the heat transfer capabilities increased to 30 W, although the operating temperature was higher. Furthermore, the hysteresis effect under different filling pressure conditions was newly confirmed. The power cycling experiments demonstrated that hysteresis in the operating temperature occurred at high heat loads and showed a similar trend to the room-temperature LHP.

    A capillary pumped loop (CPL) is a capillary force-driven heat transport device that uses the phase change of a working fluid. A CPL has excellent properties in terms of heat transport capability, heat transport distance, and flexibility in heat transport path arrangement. However, its startup reliability is low, and its startup characteristics have yet to be determined. This study aims to investigate the startup characteristics of a CPL and improve its startup reliability. The startup procedures are newly proposed and experimentally verified in this paper. In the proposed method, the evaporator was preheated in addition to the reservoir preheating before startup. Verification was done by switching the order of the reservoir preheating and evaporator preheating. The experimental results showed that the proposed methods enable the CPL to start up even in conditions where the CPL was unable to start up by a conventional method (reservoir temperatures ranging from 40 °C to 80 °C). It was also confirmed that the order of the evaporator preheating and reservoir preheating affects the degree of overshoot of the evaporator temperature. The maximum temperature of the evaporator at the startup was reduced by up to 91.5 °C in case the evaporator was preheated before the reservoir preheating.

    Typically, spacecraft development is costly and time-consuming because of the many iterations usually needed to reach optimal design solutions. This paper presents an innovative approach that eliminates the need to iterate the thermal design process using a network of variable conductance oscillating heat pipes (VC-OHPs) on every structural panel. The temperatures of the panels where components are mounted would thus be maintained at constant levels by VC-OHPs, even if the instruments' locations or heat dissipation changes. A structural thermal model was built to verify the proposed thermal and structural design in a simulated deep space environment and in a launch environment. It consisted of two VC-OHPs and six aluminum honeycomb panels. A thermal vacuum test was conducted to demonstrate the temperature control by the VC-OHPs. The test results showed that temperature control by VC-OHPs could maintain the panels operating as evaporators at stable temperatures and follow the reservoir temperature. A vibration test was conducted under the launch environment of a Japanese H2A rocket. The results confirmed that the structural thermal model met requirements for resistance to mechanical launch environment. The VC-OHPs functioned after the vibration test. The structural thermal model showed that the proposed thermal control architecture is feasible in an actual spacecraft in terms of thermal and structure design.

    LiteBIRD is a future satellite mission designed to observe the polarization of the cosmic microwave background radiation in order to probe the inflationary universe. LiteBIRD is set to observe the sky using three telescopes with transition-edge sensor bolometers. In this work we estimated the LiteBIRD instrumental sensitivity using its current design. We estimated the detector noise due to the optical loadings using physical optics and ray-tracing simulations. The noise terms associated with thermal carrier and readout noise were modeled in the detector noise calculation. We calculated the observational sensitivities over fifteen bands designed for the LiteBIRD telescopes using assumed observation time efficiency.

    We compared the thermal performance of two configuration types of Oscillating Heat Pipe (OHP) experimentally to investigate making heat transfer routing more adaptable. One type of OHP has the conventional configuration of closed-loop multiple-serpentine routing that uses U-shaped turns of 3.75 mm radius. The other type has the proposed circular ring configuration with a much larger radius of 1289 mm. Both types have the same pipe length so that the circular OHP can be considered an "unfolded" layout of the serpentine OHP. The circular OHP has alternating heated and cooled sections at locations corresponding to the sections of the serpentine model. Each type has ten sets of these sections with check valves; the OHPs were oriented horizontally. The working fluid was HFC-134a. Both types of samples functioned normally, and their thermal resistances were almost identical. Each OHP showed traveling pressure waves during operation, which indicated a phase difference at each measuring point. The experiment showed that OHPs, with check valves and alternating heated and cooled sections, can transfer heat without the need for a serpentine configuration and that heat transfer routing can be designed more adaptably.

    Achieving a high level of pointing accuracy in spacecraft requires that vibration and thermal distortions not be relayed to the structure. Therefore, a flexible thermal strap is essential to dissipate heat from heat-and-vibration-generating components, such as cryocoolers. This study developed a flexible and highly conductive thermal strap for space application with a micro-Oscillating Heat Pipes (OHP). So far, few studies have focused on the flexibility of a micro-OHP, particularly that of the tube type. This paper presents the results of testing strap's thermal performance and dynamic stiffness, which is a key parameter of flexibility but has been rarely evaluated for heat pipes, including OHP. To achieve the triaxial flexibility and resistance against space environment, the OHP consists of a 10-turn micro-OHP composed of metal tubes with an inner diameter of 0.4 mm or less. It is filled with HFC-134a as the working fluid. Ten electroformed check valves are mounted in the OHP. The liquid slug is induced to flow from the condenser to the evaporator, and the OHP operates stably even in a horizontal position. Thermal performance tests have shown the maximum thermal conductance of the strap to be 0.8 W/K and the heat transfer rate to be at least 7 W. The thermal vacuum test (TVT) showed that, below 20 ℃, the thermal conductance decreases with the condenser temperature and that the OHP does not operate below −15 °C. Dynamic stiffness tests were performed on the OHP to determine the dynamic stiffness in the two directions perpendicular to the flow (along the Y and Z axes). The stiffness parallel to the flow was obtained by a finite element methods analysis using a structural model of a bent OHP based on earlier test results. The dynamic stiffness is less than 0.2 N/mm in Y and Z axis, which is less than that of the graphite thermal strap used for space application. During and after the stiffness test, the OHP continued to operate stably without any change in the temperatures of the evaporator and condenser.

    Mercury has a unique and complex space environment with its weak global magnetic field, intense solar wind, tenuous exosphere, and magnetospheric plasma particles. This complex system makes Mercury an excellent science target to understand effects of the solar wind to planetary environments. In addition, investigating Mercury's dynamic magnetosphere also plays a key role to understand extreme exoplanetary environment and its habitability conditions against strong stellar winds. BepiColombo, a joint mission to Mercury by the European Space Agency and Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, will address remaining open questions using two spacecraft, Mio and the Mercury Planetary Orbiter. Mio is a spin-stabilized spacecraft designed to investigate Mercury's space environment, with a powerful suite of plasma instruments, a spectral imager for the exosphere, and a dust monitor. Because of strong constraints on operations during its orbiting phase around Mercury, sophisticated observation and downlink plans are required in order to maximize science outputs. This paper gives an overview of the Mio spacecraft and its mission, operations plan, and data handling and archiving.

    This paper presents an effect of reservoir location on heat transfer characteristics of a capillary pumped loop (CPL). The designed CPL has a cylindrical evaporator with a diameter of 12 mm and a length of 65 mm. A stainless steel porous medium that has a pore radius of 4.4 mu m is used as a wick. Heat transport length is designed as 1000 mm. The experiments were conducted with four types of reservoir location such as (1) Distance from the evaporator, L = 150 mm, (2) L = 250 mm, (3) L = 750 mm, (4) L = 1450 mm. As results, it was found that the CPL of case (1) showed high operating temperature and much smaller heat transfer capability such as 10 W. For cases of (2) - (4), the maximum heat transfer capability reached 140 - 160 W and showed the good controllability of the operating temperatures ranging from 60 to 100 degrees C. The reason for the low heat transfer performance of case (1) and the difference in operational characteristics are discussed. It was found that there is a design limitation of the reservoir location of CPLs. In addition, the operation of the CPL that reservoir was located much far from the evaporator was successfully demonstrated. (C) 2020 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

    This paper reports the design, fabrication, and testing of a reversible thermal panel breadboard model (RTP-BEM). RTP is a flexible, re-deployable radiator that autonomously controls the temperature of a heat source. It promotes heat dissipation by deploying the radiator surface when the heat source is at a high temperature. Conversely, in a cold case, heat dissipation is conserved by stowing the radiator surface. Herein, deployment/stowing and thermal vacuum tests were conducted herein to evaluate the validity of the design, and model correlations were conducted via thermal analysis. The RTP-BBM comprises high thermal conductivity graphite sheets as the flexible fin, and shape-memory alloys (SMA) as a temperature sensitive passive actuator. The deployment/stowing test was conducted in a thermal constant bath, confirming that the fin was deployed and stowed according to the SMA temperature. However, temperature hysteresis of up to + 60 degrees C was confirmed between heating and cooling cycles. In the thermal vacuum test, power step and power cycle tests were conducted. Results showed that the fin deployed and stowed according to the temperature of the onboard equipment while autonomously regulating the temperature. Additionally, the thermal analysis model correlated with the experimental results, showing good agreement within +/- 6 degrees C.

    LiteBIRD is a candidate satellite for a strategic large mission of JAXA. With its expected launch in the middle of the 2020s with a H3 rocket, LiteBIRD plans to map the polarization of the cosmic microwave background radiation over the full sky with unprecedented precision. The full success of LiteBIRD is to achieve δr< 0.001 , where δr is the total error on the tensor-to-scalar ratio r. The required angular coverage corresponds to 2 ≤ ℓ≤ 200 , where ℓ is the multipole moment. This allows us to test well-motivated cosmic inflation models. Full-sky surveys for 3 years at a Lagrangian point L2 will be carried out for 15 frequency bands between 34 and 448 GHz with two telescopes to achieve the total sensitivity of 2.5 μ K arcmin with a typical angular resolution of 0.5 ∘ at 150 GHz. Each telescope is equipped with a half-wave plate system for polarization signal modulation and a focal plane filled with polarization-sensitive TES bolometers. A cryogenic system provides a 100 mK base temperature for the focal planes and 2 K and 5 K stages for optical components.

    Inflation is the leading theory of the first instant of the universe. Inflation, which postulates that the universe underwent a period of rapid expansion an instant after its birth, provides convincing explanation for cosmological observations. Recent advancements in detector technology have opened opportunities to explore primordial gravitational waves generated by the inflation through “B-mode” (divergent-free) polarization pattern embedded in the cosmic microwave background anisotropies. If detected, these signals would provide strong evidence for inflation, point to the correct model for inflation, and open a window to physics at ultra-high energies. LiteBIRD is a satellite mission with a goal of detecting degree-and-larger-angular-scale B-mode polarization. LiteBIRD will observe at the second Lagrange point with a 400 mm diameter telescope and 2622 detectors. It will survey the entire sky with 15 frequency bands from 40 to 400 GHz to measure and subtract foregrounds. The US LiteBIRD team is proposing to deliver sub-Kelvin instruments that include detectors and readout electronics. A lenslet-coupled sinuous antenna array will cover low-frequency bands (40–235 GHz) with four frequency arrangements of trichroic pixels. An orthomode-transducer-coupled corrugated horn array will cover high-frequency bands (280–402 GHz) with three types of single frequency detectors. The detectors will be made with transition edge sensor (TES) bolometers cooled to a 100 milli-Kelvin base temperature by an adiabatic demagnetization refrigerator. The TES bolometers will be read out using digital frequency multiplexing with Superconducting QUantum Interference Device (SQUID) amplifiers. Up to 78 bolometers will be multiplexed with a single SQUID amplifier. We report on the sub-Kelvin instrument design and ongoing developments for the LiteBIRD mission.

    The high-frequency telescope for LiteBIRD is designed with refractive and reflective optics. In order to improve sensitivity, this paper suggests the new optical configurations of the HFT which have approximately 7 times larger focal planes than that of the original design. The sensitivities of both the designs are compared, and the requirement of anti-reflection (AR) coating on the lens for the refractive option is derived. We also present the simulation result of a sub-wavelength AR structure on both surfaces of silicon, which shows a band-averaged reflection of 1.1–3.2% at 101–448 GHz.

    © 2018, The Author(s). The exploration of energization and radiation in geospace (ERG) satellite, nicknamed “Arase,” is the second satellite in a series of small scientific satellites created by the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency. It was launched on December 20, 2016, by the Epsilon launch vehicle. The purpose of the ERG project is to investigate how high-energy (over MeV) electrons in the radiation belts surrounding Earth are generated and lost by monitoring the interactions between plasma waves and electrically charged particles. To measure these physical processes in situ, the ERG satellite traverses the heart of the radiation belts. The orbit of the ERG is highly elliptical and varies due to the perturbation force: the apogee altitude is approximately 32,200–32,300 km, and the perigee altitude is 340–440 km. In this study, we introduce the scientific background for this project and four major challenges that need to be addressed to effectively carry out this scientific mission with a small satellite: (1) dealing with harsh environmental conditions in orbit and electromagnetic compatibility issues, (2) spin attitude stabilization and avoiding excitation of the libration by flexible structures, (3) attaining an appropriate balance between the mission requirements and the limited resources of the small satellite, and (4) the adaptation and use of a flexible standardized bus. In this context, we describe the development process and the flight operations for the satellite, which is currently working as designed and obtaining excellent data in its mission.[Figure not available: see fulltext.]

    In this study, a newly proposed heat pipe system was investigated to transfer heat from a vertical heated plate to a vertical cooled plate arranged in parallel. The heat pipe system comprises 32 loops connected in series and a reservoir. Each square-shaped loop (with a side length of 2 m) comprises a capillary tube with an inner diameter of 1.0 mm without any internal wick. The system's overall thermal performance was investigated at room temperature using R410A as the working fluid. Temperatures, pressures, and reservoir weight were monitored, and thereby confirming that the system transfers heat up to several hundred watts by a passive two-phase flow. Numerical simulations with a simple model were consistent with the data and verified that the saturated pressure of the system is controlled by the reservoir temperature independent of the amount of heat load.

    The Hitomi (ASTRO-H) mission is the sixth Japanese x-ray astronomy satellite developed by a large international collaboration, including Japan, USA, Canada, and Europe. The mission aimed to provide the highest energy resolution ever achieved at E > 2 keV, using a microcalorimeter instrument, and to cover a wide energy range spanning four decades in energy from soft x-rays to gamma rays. After a successful launch on February 17, 2016, the spacecraft lost its function on March 26, 2016, but the commissioning phase for about a month provided valuable information on the onboard instruments and the spacecraft system, including astrophysical results obtained from first light observations. The paper describes the Hitomi (ASTRO-H) mission, its capabilities, the initial operation, and the instruments/spacecraft performances confirmed during the commissioning operations for about a month.

    <title>Abstract</title>Measurements in the infrared wavelength domain allow direct assessment of the physical state and energy balance of cool matter in space, enabling the detailed study of the processes that govern the formation and evolution of stars and planetary systems in galaxies over cosmic time. Previous infrared missions revealed a great deal about the obscured Universe, but were hampered by limited sensitivity. SPICA takes the next step in infrared observational capability by combining a large 2.5-meter diameter telescope, cooled to below 8 K, with instruments employing ultra-sensitive detectors. A combination of passive cooling and mechanical coolers will be used to cool both the telescope and the instruments. With mechanical coolers the mission lifetime is not limited by the supply of cryogen. With the combination of low telescope background and instruments with state-of-the-art detectors SPICA provides a huge advance on the capabilities of previous missions. SPICA instruments offer spectral resolving power ranging from <italic>R</italic> ~50 through 11 000 in the 17–230 μm domain and <italic>R</italic> ~28.000 spectroscopy between 12 and 18 μm. SPICA will provide efficient 30–37 μm broad band mapping, and small field spectroscopic and polarimetric imaging at 100, 200 and 350 μm. SPICA will provide infrared spectroscopy with an unprecedented sensitivity of ~5 × 10−20 W m−2 (5σ/1 h)—over two orders of magnitude improvement over what earlier missions. This exceptional performance leap, will open entirely new domains in infrared astronomy; galaxy evolution and metal production over cosmic time, dust formation and evolution from very early epochs onwards, the formation history of planetary systems.

    <p>In the development of the recent scientific satellites, requirements of increases in size and improvements in shape accuracy of observation instruments have become more stringent. In order to satisfy those requirements, our research group has examined a pointing control mechanism utilizing artificial thermal expansion as a linear actuator. Our previous research indicated that the pointing control mechanism could satisfy a design requirement of the next generation scientific satellites under a certain orbital environment. It is desirable to conduct performance evaluation under various orbital environments to design a flight model. In order to do that, a detailed thermal mathematical model needs to be built. In this paper, estimated parameters in a thermal mathematical model were estimated by correlating numerical simulation with experiments obtained by thermal vacuum experiments. As a result, the temperature errors between the numerical simulation and the experiments were minimized when the thermal conductance of elastic hinges of the pointing control mechanism was lower than expected. This implies that the estimation of the thermal conductance of the elastic hinge needs to be carefully done.</p>

    This study presents the evaluation results of the thermal performance for Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency's X-ray astronomy satellite (Hitomi) ASTRO-H mission. Hitomi was successfully launched on 17 February 2016. The thermal design of the spacecraft and scientific instruments was challenging because the high-energy resolution and the sensitivity needed to achieve the desired scientific objectives required small thermal distortion and a strict temperature range, in spite of large heat dissipation. Hitomi housed four telescopes and six detectors. Each detector had its own radiator and heat pipes for heat dissipation. The most essential mission instrument, the soft X-ray spectrometer, had four loop heat pipes to transfer heat from two sets of compressors and the cold heads of two-stage Stirling coolers. Six fans were mounted close to six cryocoolers for ground cooling in the fairing until just before launch. The heat pipes were operated properly in orbit. Two loop heat pipes for the cryocooler compressors continued operating from the time of launch, thereby maintaining cryocooler temperatures within the allowable temperature range. Comparing the thermal analysis results and flight data, the difference between the predicted and measured temperatures was less than 4 degrees C for more than 95% of all measured temperatures. The thermal control system functioned properly in both launch operation and in orbit, and the thermal mathematical model simulated the actual thermal design of Hitomi.

    The oscillating heat pipe (OHP) is a novel heat-transfer technique used in thermal engineering. Although the OHP offers many technical advantages, it has not yet been actually used in the sky. Motivated by the need to develop a cooling system for use in the balloon-borne General Anti-Particle Spectrometer (GAPS) project, we are developing OHP technologies. To demonstrate the thermal performances of an OHP in real balloon flight conditions, a scaled-down OHP model was launched by a stratospheric balloon in Japan. In this study, we report the results of the flight demonstration.

    © 2016 by ASME. It is reported that the operating temperature of an oscillating heat pipe (OHP) at an operating limit is not dependent on the ambient temperature but that the maximum heat transfer is dependent on this. In this study, using different ambient temperature conditions, a 15-turn OHP filled with HFC-134a as a working fluid was operated until it dries out. The maximum heat transfer was found to vary with changes in the ambient temperature, but the operating temperature at an operating limit, which depends on the filling ratio (FR) of the working fluid, was found to be constant. At the operating limit, the operating temperature decreased with an increase in the FR when the ratio was greater than 50 wt.%. Visualization experiments and calculations were used to confirm that there is an increase in the liquid volume in the OHP in accordance with an increase in the heat input and that ultimately the OHP fills with the liquid, resulting in the failure of OHP operation. In contrast, at the operating limit, when the FR was less than 50%, the operating temperature increased in line with an increase in the FR. In this case, it is assumed that the volume of liquid slugs decreases as the heat input increases, thus causing the OHP to dry out. This theory is explained using α P-V diagram of the working fluid in the OHP. The OHP thermodynamic cycle reaches a saturated liquid or vapor line before it reaches a critical point if a specified volume is shifted from the specified volume at the critical point. The optimum FR for maximum heat transfer is therefore decided by the void ratio at the critical point of the working fluid.

    The main engine of the reusable sounding rocket has been developed at the Kakuda Space Center of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency. A total of 54 engine firing experiments were conducted between June2014 and February2015. Throughout these experiments, the advanced capabilities and functions of this engine, such as wide-range throttling, accurate controllability, and health monitoring, were proved to be feasible. This rocket was also required to be reusable for over 100 flights. To confirm the long-life durability of this engine for over 100 flights in a limited experiment period, sequential multiple-firing tests were planned and conducted. Numerical analysis to evaluate damage of the main chamber due to firings was also conducted. The results of the durability tests and numerical analysis showed reuse of this engine for over 100 flights to be feasible.

    This paper presents a study on the optimization of a lunar lander for surviving extremely cold lunar nights by using completely passive thermal control. The effects of parameters such as shape, thermal conductance, and effective emissivity on temperature swings of the lunar lander were numerically analyzed. On the basis of the results, some candidate models were formed and the temperature swings of each model were compared. Then, from the viewpoint of feasibility, a particular model was selected. The model was scaled and experimental comparisons were performed. These comparisons proved the efficiency of the proposed model, both numerically and experimentally. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.

    This study proposes a passively deployed radiator for use as a new thermal control device for small satellites. This radiator can control the amount of heat dissipation by varying its heat rejection area depending on the temperature. This radiator consists of a fin, a baseplate, and an actuator. First, thermal diffusivity, specific heat capacity, total hemispherical emissivity, and solar absorptance of graphite sheets, which are a part of this radiator fin, were measured. From these measurements, it was determined that the thermal conductivity of the graphite sheet varied from 950 to 1490 W/m K, the total hemispherical emissivity varied from 0.22 to 0.31, and the solar absorptance was 0.66. Second, the performance of the radiator was calculated via thermal analysis as a function of size and thickness, and a half-scaled test model of this radiator was designed. Third, the test model was fabricated and its thermal performance was tested under vacuum conditions. The testing showed that the thermal dissipation of this half-scaled radiator was 54 W at 60 degrees C, the fin efficiency difference between the deployed and stowed positions was 0.35, and the specific heat rejection was 188 W/kg.

    A Reusable Sounding Rocket (RSR) is being developed in JAXA and MHI to provide more frequent opportunities for atmospheric observations at lower cost and with short turnaround time. RSR will take off vertically, reach to the altitude higher than 100 km, and land vertically on the launch site. RSR adopts a clustered propulsion system which is composed of four LOX/LH2 engines for redundancy, and the reusability target is over 100 flights. Therefore, RSR requires the main engine to have very advanced features such as continuous throttling for vertical landing and health monitoring for abort operation. In order to show these advanced features are feasible, a technological demonstration engine with three electrically actuated valves was developed, and engine firing tests have been conducted in Kakuda Space Center of JAXA since June in 2014. First, the simple feed-forward control was used to control three valves, and its dynamic characteristics were obtained. Based on these results, two-degree-of-freedom control by combination of feed-forward and feed-back control was applied to the engine, and the engine showed the capability of robust continuous throttling between 109% and 21% with mixture ratio and turbine inlet temperature control. From engine operational trends, health monitoring system was also applied, and the rapid failure detection and abort operation was successfully achieved.

    This paper proposes a lunar long-duration method that uses a characteristic of a very low thermal conductivity of lunar regolith. The principle of this method is to put a heater in at the desired depth of the regolith and heat up the regolith layer during lunar daytime. Because of the very low thermal conductivity of regolith, stored heat in regolith propagates gradually and raises the surface temperature during the cold lunar night. By this method, a lunar lander will be kept warm passively during a cold lunar night. A temporospatially small-scale experimental apparatus that simulates the lunar surface environment was fabricated and the feasibility of a passive thermal control method with no electrical power during lunar nighttime was evaluated. The effectiveness of the proposed method was analytically evaluated by considering the relation between experimental result and actual lunar environment.

    SPACE TELESCOPES AND INSTRUMENTATION 2014: ULTRAVIOLET TO GAMMA RAY 9144 2014年12月3日  
    The joint JAXA/NASA ASTRO-H mission is the sixth in a series of highly successful X-ray missions developed by the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science (ISAS), with a planned launch in 2015. The ASTRO-H mission is equipped with a suite of sensitive instruments with the highest energy resolution ever achieved at E > 3 keV and a wide energy range spanning four decades in energy from soft X-rays to gamma-rays. The simultaneous broad band pass, coupled with the high spectral resolution of Delta E < 7 eV of the micro-calorimeter, will enable a wide variety of important science themes to be pursued. ASTRO-H is expected to provide breakthrough results in scientific areas as diverse as the large-scale structure of the Universe and its evolution, the behavior of matter in the gravitational strong field regime, the physical conditions in sites of cosmic-ray acceleration, and the distribution of dark matter in galaxy clusters at different redshifts.

    A meter-scale Oscillating Heat Pipe (OHP) has been developed for the General Anti-Particle Spectrometer (GAPS) project. Two types of OHP routing, U-shaped and O-shaped, have been investigated. For the operation at low temperature, R410A was used as the working fluid. As the result of the investigation, we verified for the first time that both the meter-scale U-shaped and O-shaped OHPs can transfer heat under gravity in a wide temperature range between 20 degrees C and -60 degrees C. Generally, the Oshaped OHP showed better performance than the U-shaped OHP. Both OHP models showed good thermal conductance and a good amount of heat transport under the particular sets of conditions which meet the design requirements. In order to clarify the drive force to operate OHP to further improve the OHP design, the performance difference between the U-shaped and the O-shaped models has been interpreted in terms of the gravity effect and the pressure loss.

    The thermal condition of ASTRO-H under air-cooled environment before launch is investigated with a thermal testing and a computational analysis. The thermal testing shows that the temperatures of devices are confirmed to be within the operating range if the additional fans are used. Moreover, the results of the thermal testing are compared with those of computational results. The computational results of temperature of the devices around the dewar with the additional fans are in good agreement with those of the thermal testing. The good agreement in the condition with the additional fans is because the forced convection, which is a dominant effect, is well captured in the computational analysis. Meanwhile, the computational results of temperature on the side panels are in very good agreement with thermal testing despite the difference in the flow outside satellite by air conditioner: computational analysis models the air flow from the air-conditioner while thermal testing does not. This is because the air-flow is very slow (0.1[m/s] at the side panel locations) and forced convection effects are very small.

    This paper proposes a lunar long duration method which utilizes a characteristic of a very low thermal conductivity of lunar regolith. The principle of this method is to put heater in desired depth of the regolith and heat up the regolith layer during lunar daytime. Because of the very low thermal conductivity of regolith, stored heat in regolith propagates gradually and raises the surface temperature at cold lunar night. By this method, a lunar lander will be kept warm passively during cold lunar night. A temporospatially small-scale experimental apparatus which simulate lunar surface environment was fabricated and the feasibility of a passive thermal control method with no electrical power during lunar night time was evaluated. The effectiveness of the proposed method was analytically evaluated by considering the relation between experimental result and actual lunar environment.

    A thermal control system (TCS) of a microsatellite is proposed with loop heat pipes (LHPs) including bypass valves. "Free from restrictions in thermal design," all instruments can be mounted anywhere on the internal side of the six structure panels making up the satellite without concern for the thermal design of the entire satellite and other instruments. The temperatures of all instruments are maintained under any attitude (i.e., external thermal environment) by concentrating dissipated heat in a "center heat source" (CHS) using six LHPs mounted between the CHS and structure panels and other heat transport devices. An experimental study and numerical simulation are conducted to validate the microsatellite TCS. In the experimental study, two LHPs are connected to a heat source and a heat load is input to a condenser to simulate the heat input to a radiator in orbit. The heat from the heat source is successfully transported via one LHP if heat is input to the radiator connected to the second LHP. Orbital thermal analyses of the microsatellite are also conducted. Typical low-Earth, geostationary, and polar orbits are investigated for spinning and three-axis stabilized satellites. Heat from the CHS is transported via the LHPs, and the CHS temperature is maintained within the required temperature range in all analysis cases as a result of bypass valve operation. © 2012 by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Inc.

    The aerodynamic characteristics of a vertical landing rocket are affected by its engine plume in the landing phase. The influences of interaction of the engine plume with the freestream around the vehicle on the aerodynamic characteristics are studied experimentally aiming to realize safe landing of the vertical landing rocket. The aerodynamic forces and surface pressure distributions are measured using a scaled model of a reusable rocket vehicle in low-speed wind tunnels. The flow field around the vehicle model is visualized using the particle image velocimetry (PIV) method. Results show that the aerodynamic characteristics, such as the drag force and pitching moment, are strongly affected by the change in the base pressure distributions and reattachment of a separation flow around the vehicle.

    A loop heat pipe (LHP) is a two-phase heat transfer device that utilizes the evaporation and condensation of a working fluid to transfer heat, and the capillary forces developed in fine porous wicks to circulate the fluid. LHPs have been gaining increased acceptance for spacecraft missions, and recently, small LHPs on the order of a few hundred watts have been investigated for this purpose. In this study, a 100W class small LHP with a polytetrafluoroethylene wick as the primary wick was designed and fabricated for thermal vacuum testing. The LHP has a thermoelectric converter (TEC) to control the loop operating temperature. The thermal vacuum test was conducted to evaluate the LHP's thermal performance under a space-simulated environment such as ultra-high-vacuum, and black body radiation, except for a gravitational effect. The loop showed large thermal hysteresis before and after the large and small head loads. The TEC was able to control the loop operating temperature with a small amount of electrical power.

    This paper reports the development of an experimental small loop heat pipe with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) wicks. Three kinds of PTFE porous materials were fabricated, and their wick properties were evaluated. It was clarified that the peak pore radii of the PTFE porous materials ranged from 0.8 to 2.2 mu m, and their porosities ranged from 27 to 50%. A small loop heat pipe with PTFE wicks was designed using these properties, and an experimental small loop heat pipe, for which the wick in an evaporator is exchangeable, was fabricated. The experimental loop was tested with 1.2 and 2.2 mu m PTFE. wicks under atmospheric conditions. The test result with a 2.2 mu m PTFE wick showed a high operating temperature, possibly due to vapor leak from the evaporator grooves to the compensation chamber. The test results with the 1.2 mu m PTFE wick showed a lower operating temperature, lower thermal resistance, and stable operation of the loop heat pipe.

    Experiments are conducted to investigate whether an oscillating heat pipe with a liquid reservoir can serve as a thermal control device in space. The oscillating heat pipe consists of a stainless steel capillary tube (inner and outer diameters of 0.8 mm and 1 mm, respectively), which meanders between a heating section and a cooling section 15 times in each direction (30 times in total). A 50 mL reservoir is connected to the oscillating heat pipe via another capillary tube. The 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane (HFC-134a) is used as the working fluid. The heat input to the heating section is increased from 0 and 70 W, in 10 W increments. When the oscillating heat pipe is set horizontally, the temperature of the heating section remains at about the reservoir temperature of 40 degrees C for three orientations of the reservoir with respect to gravity: vertical, horizontal, and vertically inverted. In the top-heating mode, the temperature of the heating section also remains at about the reservoir temperature. The oscillating heat pipe with a liquid reservoir is confirmed to operate as a variable conductance heat pipe, and its operating temperature can be controlled to almost be the liquid reservoir temperature for each investigated orientation of the reservoir. The oscillating heat pipe with a liquid reservoir is confirmed not to lose its temperature control function in gravity; thus, the operating temperature can be controlled by regulating the liquid reservoir temperature, not only on the ground but also in space.
