Heat Capacitor

Heat Capacitors for Space Applications are heat absorbing devices based on Phase Change Materials (PCM). They absorb heat from a payload, limiting the temperature increase, to release it at a later point in the mission.

Ideal for both on-orbit (cyclic) operations, to limit the thermal system loads for high-power/short duty cycle payloads (such as transponders and observing payloads), and for launcher (single-shot)applications.
