- Analysis Description
- As the HIT-SAT is placed in the terminator orbit (LTAN 0600), HIT-SAT is continuously illuminated by the Sun.
The thermal analysis is performed by using Thermal Desktop and SINDA/FLUINT. The analysis result shows that the sun-illuninated surface temperatures are 272–277 K, and the opposite surface temperatures are 267–271 K.
