Thermal analysis of the ACCESS space trussThis paper introduces the Assembly Concept for the Construction of Erectable Space Structure (ACCESS) experiment and describes the thermal requirements in detail. The experiment, an erectable truss beam to be flown and assembled aboard the Space Shuttle, was thermally modeled using the TRASYS and SINDA computer codes. Results from the thermal analysis are presented. Development tests dictate the application of a metallized film insulation on the aluminum beam struts to control transient orbital temperature extremes.
