Design and Implementation of Thermal Control Strategy for the Micro-Size Lunar Exploration Rover HAKUTO

The thermal interface design of the HAKUTO Rover Flight Model (FM) was verified through thermal balance tests in a vacuum environment. The study divided the rover body into 6 radiating surfaces to build an analytical thermal model, and, combining lunar radiation, solar albedo, and lunar regolith conduction, determined the avionics mounting locations and solar panel angles, keeping mass under 4 kg; after refinement through numerical simulation, verification was completed.
