- Analysis Description
- Thermal models for Mole, Support Structure, Radiometer, and Back-end electronics were created using Thermal Desktop. Support Structure convective heat exchange with Martian atmosphere is modelled with a constant convective heat transfer coefficient. According to the MArs Pathfinder and Mars rover Sojourner tests: h = 1–2 W/m²K for wind speed of 0–5 m/sec.
