Recently FOTEC started the development of 3D-printed heat pipes as a prospective thermal management solution for a high-power CubeSat thruster. The use of 3D printing could improve design flexibility and adaptability in geometrically confined situations, while enabling the heat pipe to be manufactured in one process, minimizing the number of thermal interfaces.

With the miniaturization of space-borne sensors, more powerful payloads are anticipated to be used in small satellites. Therefore, new thermal concepts are required to cope with the increasing thermal dissipation and the negative effects. This paper presents a new thermal control concept to thermally standardize small satellites with power dissipation problems and making them thermally...
