Nanosatellite case study: Issue of heat dissipation across passive thermal analysis [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2022 One of the major reasons, why nanosatellites are still in a state of vulnerability, is the increase of their thermal temperature, which in many cases leads to the failure of the missions they were originally designed for. In order to maintain the quality
