Abstract
Space vehicle payloads are subjected to diverse heat sources during the flight, which can lead its temperature to surpass the limit of operation. During the mission planning, a previous analysis of temperature evolution of the payload shall be performed in order to assure that the systems will operate under the limit. In this paper, the transient thermal analysis of the payload of VSB-30 sounding rocket is presented. The computational simulation via a FEM software provides the local temperature evolution of the payload, allowing to determine the maximum temperature points, and to propose solution to reduce temperature peaks where it surpasses the limit.
