Abstract
In this paper, thermal analysis is carried out on solar panels used in space applications. Solar panels on spacecraft undergo harsh thermal environment of space where they experience extreme high temperature exceeding 120°C and a very low temperature around −170°C. This study investigates the thermal effect of solar panel heat flux, with temperature range between −60°C to 100 °C subjected to a spacecraft's structure. In addition, thermal analysis simulation for different heat transfer paths between a solar panel and a spacecraft has been investigated. The different heat paths are compared in the study to predict the most effective heat path.
