Thermal Control Architecture for a Planetary and Lunar Surface Exploration Micro-Robot

A thermal control architecture design study is conducted for a novel robotic planetary and lunar surface exploration concept. The concept is based on the deployment of a large number of small spherical mobile robots over large areas, which employ hopping, bouncing and rolling as means of locomotion....
