IMPACTA INNOVATIVE MECHANICALLY PUMPED LOOP FOR ACTIVE ANTENNAE

2019 - Ongoing | European Commission (H2020)

Development of an innovative Mechanically Pumped Loop (MPL) for satellite thermal control

AVS is currently developing innovative solutions for satellite thermal control systems within the framework of the EU H2020 Research and Innovation programme.

IMPACTA is a project being developed by a consortium formed by AVS, Airbus Defence and Space (ADC), CEA-Liten, CERN, Diabatix and the Royal Netherlands Aerospace Centre (NLR).

The objective of IMPACTA is to create an innovative bespoke thermal control solution for Active Antennae that are a building block of next generation telecom satellites in Europe. This will, as a consequence, solve the need of telecommunication of future space missions, with a research on specific problems as high heat rejection and high heat fluxes.

IMPACTA will be an enabling innovative technology for future high temperature missions.
