Abstract

Virtual Method, proved to be great useful in manufacture, is now used in satellite thermal vacuum test. In this paper the configuration of the Spacecraft virtual thermal platform and the model building method are described and the results of a kind of paraboloid antenna virtual thermal tests is present. Spacecraft virtual thermal test platform (VTTP), which is validated to be feasible by the research in this paper, is built to shorten the research period of spacecraft and to reduce its cost. Now VTTP is used to calculate the temperature distribution of an antenna, and it is expected to be used in a whole satellite thermal test.
