چکیده

اجزای محیط LEO متشکل از خلاء بالا، تابش فرابنفش، چرخه‌های حرارتی، اکسیژن اتمی، ذرات باردار، تابش الکترومغناطیسی، میکروشهاب سنگ‌ها و زباله‌های فضایی، به طور قابل توجهی ویژگی‌های مواد مواد کامپوزیتی زمینه پلیمری را تخریب می‌کنند. بنابراین، در طراحی سازه‌های فضایی با استفاده از مواد کامپوزیتی، خرابی احتمالی خواص مکانیکی ناشی از قرار گرفتن طولانی مدت در محیط فضایی LEO باید به دقت مورد توجه قرار گیرد. بر این اساس، درک قابل اعتماد از محیط LEO در اثرات بر روی مواد کامپوزیت و همچنین بررسی ویژگی‌های آن بسیار مهم است. سیستم شبیه ساز فضایی تحت خلأ با هدف ایجاد محیطی استاندارد با قابلیت رسیدن به خلأهای بالا و همچنین قابلیت ایجاد دماهای پایین طراحی می‌گردد، همچنین برای بررسی صلاحیت اجزای فضایی و تحقیقات مواد مورد استفاده در ماهواره استفاده می‌شوند. این سیستم‌ها رفتار قطعات ماهواره را تجزیه و تحلیل می‌کنند، تعادل حرارتی و عملکرد آن را ارزیابی می‌کنند تا از موفقیت و بقای ماموریت اطمینان حاصل کنند.

چکیده [English]

Components of the LEO environment consisting of high vacuum, ultraviolet radiation, thermal cycles, Atomic Oxygen, charged particles, electromagnetic radiation, micrometeorites, and space debris significantly degrade the material properties of polymer matrix composite materials. Therefore, in the design of space structures using composite materials, the possible deterioration of mechanical properties due to long-term exposure in LEO space environment should be carefully considered. Accordingly, a reliable understanding of the LEO environment in its effects on composite materials as well as investigating its properties is very important. The space simulator system under vacuum is designed with the aim of creating a standard environment with the ability to reach high vacuums and also the ability to create low temperatures, as well as to check the qualification of space components and research materials used in the satellite. These systems analyze the behavior of satellite components, evaluate their thermal balance and performance to ensure mission success and survivability.
