Battery Thermal Design Conception of Turkish Satellite

This paper describes some general aspects of the thermal design of Turkish satellite and presents a detailed analysis of the battery and its compartment. The battery compartment is analyzed, using mathematical modeling, to calculate the radiator area and heater power consumption. The battery internal temperature gradients are estimated, also using mathematical modeling, to verify the cells package design. The thermal package was used to create the thermal model where the temperature distributions are predicted by a thermal analyzer.
