The Smart Radiation Device (SRD) decreases the temperature variation by changing its
emissivity depending on the temperature. The first generation of the SRD has been …

The authors have developed a new thermal control device called Smart Radiation Device
(SRD). SRD stabilizes spacecraft temperature by regulating radiation heat transfer to space …

The Smart Radiation Device (SRD) which is made from a ceramic material is a thin and light
tile. The material undergoes a metal-insulator transition at around 290K and this allows the …

A new thermal control material named the Smart Radiation Device (SRD) has shown
improvement in development. The SRD can be used as a variable emittance radiator that …

The Smart Radiation Device (SRD) is a thin and light tile whose infrared emissivity is varied
proportionally by the temperature of the radiator. Bonded only to the external surface of the …

This paper describes a new approach to spacecraft thermal control based on a passive thin-
film smart radiator device (SRD) that employs a variable heattransfer/emitter structure. The …

Thermal control in spacecraft will be increasingly important as the spacecraft grows smaller
and more compact. Such spacecraft with low thermal mass will have to be designed to retain …

Small satellites often face thermal control challenges due to their restricted power and low
thermal capacitance (leading to wide temperature swings). Smart Radiator Devices (SRDs) …

Variable emittance radiator, called SRD, is a thin and light ceramic tile whose infrared
emissivity is varied proportionally by its own temperature. Bonded only to the external …

The advent of very small satellites, such as nano and microsatellites, logically leads to a
requirement for smaller thermal control subsystems. In addition, the thermal control needs of …
