Research on the Control of Thermal System of a Spacecraft Based on Fuzzy Theory

The thermal control is one of the key factors among spaceflight technology. The model of the thermal control system of a spacecraft was built and analyzed in this paper. Controller based on fuzzy theory was designed aims at the coupling effect existing between the two control objectives. The two control objectives were controlled coordinately with this fuzzy controller. The effectiveness was confirmed by simulation experiments.
