Variable emittance (ε) is a property useful for external thermal control in future micro- (< 20 kg) spacecraft; current methods, used in large spacecraft, do not work. This contribution describes fabrication, function, performance of thin-film varia

Thermal characterization was performed on a vapor compression heat pump using a novel, hybrid two phase loop design. Previous work on this technology has demonstrated its ability to provide passive phase separation and flow control based on capillary

Conducting polymers (CPs) display strong electrochromism across the visible, near-IR (NIR), IR and even microwave spectral regions. Applications range from military to space. However, a fundamental understanding of the phenomena behind this electroch

Technology development is inevitably a dynamic process in search of an elusive goal. It is never truly clear whether the need for a particular technology drives its development, or the existence of a new capability initiates new applications. Technol

Advanced materials with large and dynamic variation in thermal properties, sought for urgent defense and space applications, have heretofore been elusive. Conducting polymers (CPs) have shown some intrinsic variation of mid- to far-infrared (IR) sign

The challenging range of landing sites for which the Mars Science Laboratory Rover was designed, required a rover thermal management system that is capable of keeping temperatures controlled across a wide variety of environmental conditions. On the M

Mechanically pumped fluid loops (MPFLs) are increasingly considered for spacecraft thermal control. A concern for long duration space missions is the leak of fluid leading to performance degradation or potential loop failure. An understanding of leak

For single phase mechanically pumped fluid loops used for thermal control of spacecraft, a gas charged accumulator is typically used to modulate pressures within the loop. This is needed to accommodate changes in the working fluid volume due to chang
