Analysis And Design Of Phase Change Thermal Control For Light Emitting Diode (led) Spacesuit Helmet Lights by Grant C Bue, Paperback

LED Helmet Extravehicular Activity Helmet Interchangeable Portable (LEHIP) lights for the Extravehicular Mobility Unit (EMU) have been built and tested and are currently being used on the International Space Station. A design is presented of the passive thermal control system consisting of a chamber filled with aluminum foam and wax. A thermal math model of LEHIP was built and correlated by test to show that the thermal design maintains electronic components within hot and cold limits for a 7 hour spacewalk in the most extreme EVA average environments, and do not pose a hazard to the crew or to components of the EMU. | Analysis And Design Of Phase Change Thermal Control For Light Emitting Diode (led) Spacesuit Helmet Lights by Grant C Bue, Paperback
