What Are the Best Books on Thermal Control of Spacecraft?

AI Thread Summary
Key recommendations for books on spacecraft thermal control include "Spacecraft Thermal Control Handbook" edited by David G. Gilmore, which covers fundamental technologies and cryogenics. Another notable title is "Fundamentals of Space Systems," which provides a comprehensive overview of various aspects of space systems, including thermal control. "Spacecraft Thermal Control, Design, and Operation," edited by Howard E. Collicott and Paul E. Bauer, compiles technical papers from significant aerospace conferences. The discussion also touches on software for thermal analysis and the application of thermal control paints on spacecraft structures. These resources are essential for understanding and implementing effective thermal control in spacecraft design and operation.

Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...
I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'
We have a molded carbon graphite seal that is used in an inline axial piston, variable displacement hydraulic pump. One of our customers reported that, when using the “A” parts in the past, they only needed to replace them due to normal wear. However, after switching to our parts, the replacement cycle seems to be much shorter due to “broken” or “cracked” failures. This issue was identified after hydraulic fluid leakage was observed. According to their records, the same problem has occurred...
