Q: Why is thermal control critical for CubeSat missions?

A: Thermal control ensures CubeSats operate within safe temperature ranges in space. Without it, components can overheat or freeze, leading to system failures. Proper thermal management extends mission lifespan and ensures data reliability.

Q: What methods are used in cubesat thermal control systems?

A: Common methods include passive techniques like insulation (MLI) and coatings, and active solutions like heaters or thermoelectric coolers. Passive systems are favored for simplicity, while active systems handle extreme conditions. Hybrid approaches balance efficiency and resource constraints.

Q: How does a thermal control system protect satellite electronics?

A: It regulates temperature using radiators to dissipate heat and heaters to prevent freezing. Sensors monitor components in real-time to trigger adjustments. This prevents thermal stress and ensures optimal performance in harsh environments.

Q: What challenges arise in designing thermal control for small satellites?

A: Limited size restricts passive component placement, while power constraints limit active systems. Variable orbital conditions (e.g., eclipse phases) complicate thermal stability. Engineers must prioritize lightweight, low-power solutions without compromising reliability.

Q: What materials are essential for spacecraft thermal control systems?

A: Multi-layer insulation (MLI), thermal interface materials, and heat pipes are critical. MLI reflects solar radiation, while heat pipes distribute heat efficiently. Phase-change materials also store excess thermal energy during peak loads.
