Weekly Summary: Nanosatellite Development Progress (Week of March 11, 2008)

In the week of March 11, 2008, significant advances were made in nanosatellite development. Key discussions included a meeting with Mr. Rolfer regarding industry contacts and progress on structural trial runs. The meshed full model was reviewed alongside outstanding issues in thermal view factor calculations. MatLab simulation code was finalized, while compatibility between ANSYS TAS and the academic version was assessed. Future steps include resolving meshing errors, initiating orbital simulations, and evaluating the finite elemental heat transfer program for optimal effectiveness.

  2. Last Week • Meeting with Industry Contact- Mr. Rolfer • Structural Trial Runs • Meshed Full Model • MatLab Sim Code – Albedo

  3. Outstanding Issues Thermal View Factor B.C. interfacing • ANSYS TAS (Thermal Analysis System) • Part of Full ANSYS vs. Add on Module • Finite Elemental Heat Transfer (FEHT) Program • Possibly more user friendly • Possibly more versatile • Seeking contacts in ME department • Prof. Sparrow, Prof. Bischof • Finalization of MatLab Sim view factor code

  4. Outstanding Issues Structural • ANSYS Academic • Compatibility with Full Version • Meshing error

  5. Next Week • Thermal • Finalize MatLab view factor code • Begin orbital simulations • Identify cold, hot, average orbits • Investigate FEHT program • FEHT vs. ANSYS – identify the optimal program • Structural • Transfer a saved mesh to full version of ANSYS
