Small spacecraft are satellites and other devices designed to perform a variety of missions in space. These devices represent an important tool for monitoring the Earth due to their compactness, but their control is complicated by various factors such as temperature changes.
Scientists drew particular attention to the temperature shock problem that may occur in the solar panels of the devices. The head of the research, Professor of the Department of Aerospace Engineering named after General Designer of Samara University DI Kozlov, Andrey Sedelnikov, said that scientists mathematically modeled the deformation of solar panels during temperature fluctuations and developed a control method that minimizes the effect of these changes.
The use of new technology will improve the quality of data received from the spacecraft and increase the accuracy of Earth images. In the future, scientists plan to continue their work by improving control methods and reducing the negative impact of thermal shocks on devices.
