Team Introduction Project Team Members Faculty Guide Customers Satellite Thermal Heater Controller - P09141 Team Members Anthony Berwin (ME), Scott Rioux (ISE), Greg Pawlowski (EE), Sarmad Adedin (EE) Faculty Guide Mr. George Slack Customers ITT Corporation (Chuck Moon) D3 Engineering (Scott Reardon)
Project Description Project Vision Project Goals The mission of the project is to design, analyze and test a scalable prototype of a thermal heater controller for the Space Systems Division of ITT. Project Goals Create a more competitive thermal controller that is lightweight, scalable, modular, reliable, cost effective and power efficient. Demonstrate the ability to adjust thermal conditions while in orbit and verify thermal model by system testing prior to launch. Demonstrate the ability to thermally control, stabilize and enable critical optical subsystems
