Thermal Characteristics of a High-Thermal-Conductivity Graphite Sheet for Spacecraft Thermal Control

摘要

In order to apply a new material - a graphite sheet, which has characteristics of high thermal conductivity, lightweight and flexibility, as a material for spacecraft thermal control applications, the thermophysical properties, such as thermal diffusivity, total hemispherical emittance and solar absorptance, have been measured. Additionally, the thermal conductivity was evaluated.
