Thermal deformation of 3U CubeSat in low Earth orbit
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2018 The impact of uneven heating on a satellite structure in low Earth orbit has been considered using the example of 3U CubeSat. The calculations showed that the thermal deformation of CubeSat structure in orbit caused a deviation between normals to ...
