NASA Goddard Thermal Technology Roadmap 2023

This presentation provides an overview of recent thermal technology development activities carried out at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. Topics include two-phase systems (heat pipes, loop heat pipes and phase change materials), variable emittance systems, advanced coatings and high conductivity materials. The application of these activities to specific space missions is also discussed.

Thermal Vacuum Testing of the Cryostat Heat Removal System for COSI SMEX

The Cryostat Heat Removal System (CHRS) of the Compton Spectrometer and Imager (COSI) consists of cryocooler, three transport aluminum ammonia Constant Conductance Heat Pipes (CCHP), three radiators with CCHP spreaders and Cryocooler Control Electronics (CCE) attached to a separate radiator. A Thermal Vacuum (TVAC) test was conducted at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center to characterize the integrated COSI CHRS in the flat configuration. This presentation summarizes the measured COSI CHRS performance along with lessons learned.
