Summary

A simple one-dimensional model is developed to illustrate the relative merits of different dewar support systems. The model considers how different supports affect the parasitic heat load on dewars in both strength limited and resonant frequency limited applications. The model is used to compare straps, struts and disconnect supports. The comparison shows that struts are superior in strength limited applications, that staps are superior in resonant frequency limited applications, and disconnect struts are superior when the on-orbit resonant frequency requirement is lower than during launch.
