Project Title: Lightweight Graphene Radiators for Space System
Project Summary: This semester, through market research a potential application for Thermal Space’s graphene-based radiator panel technology can be identified and proposed. With an application located, CAD models can be drawn and fabricated. Thermal and mechanical performance parameters will be adjusted in CAD which will be valuable to develop a baseline radiator panel design, and can help to predict performance such as heat rejection capacity as well as temperature gradients. Once the design and fabrication process are complete, a thermal model of the product can be created. This model will help predict the radiators heat capacity and temperature gradients. Simultaneously, market research for this technology will be continued to find the most profitable potential market or specific clientele.
