- Analysis Description
- The full detailed TMM consist of about 4300 elements. THERMICA was used for the calculation of the black and gray form factors of the different spacecraft surfaces and the external heat loads. The calculated radiation parameters by THERMICA were embedded into SINDA/G to perform tmperature calculations.
