Recommendation

The JAS mechanical structure shall be designed to maintain the electronics/PCBs within given displacements while the system is in operation as applied by determining thermal impacts on the mechanical structure.

The operational thermal environments of a nominal orbit need to be applied to the mechanical model as necessary to ensure the intended application’s environment is considered.

The JAS mechanical structure must consider surface finish for radiation coefficients, and conductance paths for heat dissipation.
