Abstract

See full text

A method of cooling spacecraft electronics by transferring fuel between two or more satlets is provided. Each satlet's electronics is thermally coupled to the satlet's fuel tank. A controller connected to a temperature sensor determines that a temperature of a first satlet's electronics is reaching, has reached, or exceeds a predetermined threshold. The controller connected to a second temperature sensor determines that a temperature of a second satlet's propellant is lower than the temperature of the first satlet's electronics. The controller then directs the flow of propellant from the second satlet's fuel tank to the first satlet's fuel tank to cool the first satlet's electronics.
