Abstract :
The thermal and dynamic effects due to plume impingement to solar wings and deployable antennas loaded on the communication satellite are investigated theoretically in this paper. With the additional computing codes, it provides a confidence level to the theoretical analysis. The results will be the reference for the spacecraft design and manufacturing and the code can be associated to specific documents analyzing for each satellite the differences with respect to the generic platform, when needed.
