Introduction

In order to see what types of thermal systems might be viable and what has already proven to be unviable, we researched the different thermal systems in place for 8 past CubeSat missions ranging over various dates, from the first few CubeSat missions to the most recent of missions. We ranked them on a variety of specifications from 1 (lowest) to 5 (highest) to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the different thermal systems in place.
