Project Timeline

Sep 2025 - Dec-2025

OVERVIEW

Built a Python-based 6-node thermal model for an SSTL-600 satellite at Sun–Earth L4, simulating solar, radiative, conductive, and internal heat loads. Optimized spacecraft thermal performance by introducing a passive rotation (2°/s), ensuring all spacecraft surfaces remain within a tight temperature range of 271.6 K to 273.6 K, minimizing thermal gradients.
