IMPACTA
IMPACTA: Innovative Mechanically Pumped loop for ACtive Antennae The objective of this project is to solve the need of Large Satellites Integrators of telecom satellites to develop bespoke thermal control solutions for Active Antennae. The consortium will perform research on a two-phase MPL (mechanically pumped fluid loop) for an active antenna, and aims to build a demonstrator with a Technical Readiness Level (TRL) of 6. This two-phase MPL will be a key building block in the next generation of telecommunications satellites. |
