Asad Saghari; Hadi Veysi; AmirReza Kosari

Volume 9, Issue 3 , December 2016, , Pages 27-36

Abstract
  Orbital parameters are raised as one of the main inputs of electrical power subsystem and thermal control subsystem of a satellite. Some variables such as eclipse time, sun incidence angle to the panels, albedo and thermal radiation of Earth are dependent on satellite orbital features. In this paper, ...  Read More
