Path: CubeSat/Thermal
% Isothermal satellite demo The entire CubeSat is assumed to be at the same temperature. This is a very useful first approximation of the spacecraft temperatures on orbit. The oscillations in the temperatute reflect the eclipses. This demo includes solar flux, internal power, and planetary fluxes are optional. Model a 3U satellite with different materials comprising the faces. Each area is 1U for a total of 14 surfaces. The surfaces are either solar cell, gold foil, or radiator.
