Presentation: January 2022

This month's AE presenter: James Aubuchon
Date of presentation: 31-Jan-2022
Subject: Space Systems: Heat Management (part 1)
Description: In this month's presentation, part of the "Space Systems" series, Jim talked about heat management on a space system - how heat has a number of sources, stemming from not only electronics, but also friction from moving parts, as well as radiation from the Sun and other sources.  Since a space system cannot be expected to deal with steadily increasing heat indefinitely, pains must be taken not only to generate as little as possible, but also to route the heat energy away from sensitive areas.

Since Jim was unable to complete this presentation in the allotted time, it was continued the following week.
