INVESTIGATION OF PASSIVE SYSTEMS FOR THERMAL CONTROL OF SPACECRAFT

Physical and mathematical simulation of the heat exchange in a multilayer heat-insulating coating found in an experimental module have been performed. On the basis of the results obtained, requirements on the quality of such coatings and the conditions of their testing have been developed. A mathematical formulation of the inverse problem on the heat conduction in the indicated coating is presented. From the solution of this problem, with the use of the results of testing of such a coating, temperature dependences of its thermophysical parameters have been constructed
