Solar arrays are critical appendages that provide primary power sources for spacecrafts. This paper presents a numerical method to characterize the thermal response of a composite solar array subjected to space heat flux. Thermally induced vibration is investigated based on this method. The thermally induced vibrations of a solar array using two commonly used materials are also compared. Thermally induced vibrations in different thermal environments, incident angles of solar radiation, and material properties of honeycomb panel are discussed to reveal the causes of thermally induced vibration. Simulation results reveal the dynamic response of the solar array in low earth orbit under transient temperature, which could provide guidance for designers to optimize the structure utilized in minimizing the influence of the space thermal environment.
