devices (SRD) employing a smart, integrated thin-film structure based on V1-x-yMxNyOn …

MART radiators have been proposed for space applications since the 1990s, based on
tuneable emissivity. The emissivity can be monitored either in a passive way through the …

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 performance of mission-critical components and systems within spacecraft and satellites
requires the ability to control the local thermal environment. Under conditions of relatively …

An objective for advanced satellites and spacecraft is to continually reduce both their size
and mass. This reduction can place severe constraints on the thermal control systems. In …
