Abstract
When the period of operation of a power unit in a space environment is limited to a few minutes, and weight is at a premium, it is necessary to resort to thermal storage to reduce hot spots. If the same unit has to undergo prolonged periods of testing, a different approach has to be made to the cooling technique. Add to these requirements a vibration-test input of 18 g’s and there is a challenging design task. This paper describes the steps taken to meet these requirements in the packaging of the awkwardly shaped parts needed for high-current and high-voltage application.
