Thermal Analysis of Satellite Libertad 2: a Guide to CubeSat Temperature Prediction

We present a model for predicting the temperature of three-unit CubeSat on a low Earth orbit, which supposes a single temperature common to all satellite components. Our exposition includes a detailed, to a large extent analytical, computation of the external heat fluxes for a particular orbit and s...
