Evaluating the Thermal Impact of Directed Energy Weapons on Orbiting Satellites with MuSESTM

Thursday, October 3, 2024 | 9:00 - 10:00AM EDT

Join us on Thursday, October 3, 2024, at 9 a.m. EDT, as we demonstrate how the thermal impact of a high-energy laser (HEL) directed energy weapon (DEW) on an orbiting satellite can be predicted with MuSESTM.

In this live webinar, we outline:

  • State-of-the-art simulation tools to predict physical temperatures of photovoltaic-equipped, battery-powered satellites in orbit
  • Methods to predict efficiency-based PV-harvested power, battery charge/discharge current, and battery State-of-Charge (SoC)
  • Capabilities to simulate the transient impact of HEL strike on an orbiting satellite
  • Techniques to predict the thermal efficacy of HEL countermeasures
