Investigation of the dynamics of a small spacecraft elastic element temperature change under a temperature shock considering a penumbral section

Abstract

Abstract In this paper, a study of the temperature shock of small technological spacecraft large elastic elements, considering the penumbral and shadow areas of its orbit, is carried out. A comparison of the dynamics changes in the temperature field of an elastic element with and without consideration of the penumbral section is presented. Conclusions are made about the significance of the penumbral section for modeling the dynamics of the small spacecraft under a temperature shock orbital motion in order to create favorable conditions for micro-accelerations for the successful implementation of gravitationally sensitive technological processes. The results of the work can be used in the small technological spacecraft design and the development of algorithms that reduce the negative impact of temperature shock on the micro-acceleration field of the small spacecraft inner environment.
