The SUNFLOWER project, developed within the framework of the BEXUS programme of the European Space Agency (ESA), aims to create an environment with controlled light and temperature conditions to ensure the survival of a biological sample during a stratospheric flight. This thesis presents the thermal model of the experiment, developed and simulated using the Systema software. The validity of the model will subsequently be assessed through tests conducted in a thermal vacuum chamber (TVAC). The project is part of a broader context of research and experimentation focused on the development of technologies for space agriculture and the survival of biological systems in extreme environments.
Il progetto SUNFLOWER, sviluppato nell’ambito del programma BEXUS dell’Agenzia Spaziale Europea (ESA), ha l’obiettivo di creare un ambiente a condizioni controllate di luce e temperatura, in grado di garantire la sopravvivenza di un campione biologico durante un volo nella stratosfera. In questa tesi viene presentato il modello termico dell’esperimento, realizzato e simulato tramite il software Systema. La validità del modello è stata successivamente verificata mediante test condotti in camera termovuoto (TVAC). Il progetto si inserisce in un più ampio contesto di ricerca e sperimentazione orientato allo sviluppo di tecnologie per l’agricoltura spaziale e la sopravvivenza di sistemi biologici in ambienti estremi.

Abstract
The SUNFLOWER project, developed within the framework of the BEXUS programme of the European Space Agency (ESA), aims to create an environment with controlled light and temperature conditions to ensure the survival of a biological sample during a stratospheric flight. This thesis presents the thermal model of the experiment, developed and simulated using the Systema software. The validity of the model will subsequently be assessed through tests conducted in a thermal vacuum chamber (TVAC). The project is part of a broader context of research and experimentation focused on the development of technologies for space agriculture and the survival of biological systems in extreme environments.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
