Micromachined Calorimeter for Sep Diagnostics

这是一个NSF/DARPA/NASA的合作项目，其中Kenny（斯坦福大学）将继续开发、测试、包装和集成用于深空1的微机械量热计，这是NASA的一个技术验证项目。微机械量热计将用于研究离子发动机排气羽流对被动红外散热器的影响，被动红外散热器用于减少航天器核心和科学仪器的热量。这些量热计比传统的量热计有了显著的改进。＊＊＊

9707181 Kenny This is an NSF/DARPA/NASA collaborative project in which Kenny (Stanford) will continue the development, testing, packaging and integration of Micromachined Calorimeters for insertion in Deep Space 1, a NASA technology validation program. Micromachined calorimteres will be used to study the effects of the ion engine exhaust plume on passive infrared radiators, used to reduce heat from the spacecraft core and from science instruments. These calorimeters offer a significant improvement over conventionally-built calorimeters. ***
