Active Thermal Architecture for Cryogenic Optical Instruments

Status: Completed

Start Date: 2018-03-06

End Date: 2022-01-31

Description:

The Active Thermal Architecture for Cryogenic Optical Instrumentation (ATACOI) project will demonstrate an advanced thermal control system for CubeSats and enable the use of cryogenic electro-optical instrumentation on small satellite platforms.

Benefits:

This technology will represent a significant improvement over the current state of the art for CubeSat thermal control, which generally relies on simple passive and conductive methods.
