Comparative Study of Active and Passive Thermal Control Systems: A Case Study of Terra Satellite
Ritvika Tripathi
Abstract: This paper examines the thermal control systems used in satellites, comparing active and passive methods. Active systems rely on energy to function, while passive systems operate without energy inputs. Through a case study of the Terra satellite, the article explores the advantages, limitations, and optimal applications of each system. A hybrid approach is suggested as the most efficient solution, as demonstrated by Terra?s longterm use of both systems.
Keywords: thermal control systems, active cooling, passive systems, satellite technology, Terra satellite
