  • Pressurized payload compartment and mission agnostic space vehicle including the same
    Patent number: 10583940
    Abstract: A compartment for a space vehicle includes a pressurized structure having a structural wall, the structural wall having interior surfaces facing an interior of the compartment and exterior surfaces exposed to an external environment. An internal mounting structure for mounting a component is provided within the compartment, and mounting features support the internal mounting structure from the pressurized structure. The internal mounting structure is spaced away from the interior surfaces of the pressurized structure, and a thermal fluid is provided in the pressurized structure. The thermal fluid enables convective heat transfer between the component mounted on the internal mounting structure and the interior surfaces of the pressurized structure.
