Description

Convenience radiative link from this tank’s to a bus/structure for training-grade refueling thermals. Sets tank emissivity to (e.g. 0.024 for MLI) and uses a radiation connection.

Parameters

Name	Description
busThermal	Thermal model for the spacecraft bus or structure node.
surfaceArea	Exchange area (m²).
mliEffectiveEmissivity	Effective emissivity for the tank side of the link (default 0.024).
