Abstract
In recent years, the power requirements of space satellites have significantly increased. In low-efficiency applications, this power is converted into heat, which must be efficiently dissipated to ensure proper thermal management. The satellite designed by the start-up company ORiS aims to address the challenge of energy provision for extended lunar missions, including ensuring stable energy support for a lunar base during eclipse periods. This objective is pursued through Wireless Power Transmission (WPT) via laser which, due to the limited efficiency of laser diodes, generates a substantial amount of waste heat - on the order of tens of kilowatts - that must be effectively dissipated.
This study focuses on the preliminary design of a Mechanically Pumped Fluid Loop (MPFL) to transfer and dissipate the heat produced by the laser diodes and control the temperatures of the main subsystems
