摘要
This paper describes the design and fabrication of a propylene Loop Heat Pipe (LHP) with a flexible, deployable radiator intended to provide a lightweight spacecraft thermal management system. The paper presents the results of testing the LHP in an environmental chamber and in a thermal-vacuum chamber. Observations regarding operational and startup characteristics of the LHP are provided, and a comparison of design calculations to test results is presented.
