For what it is worth, we have just completed our in-depth thermal analysis of the 4 deployable solar panels on our cubesat (Psat) and were shocked to learn how hot they will get. Probably 90C or nearly boiling. If it's sun pointing....just use thermocouple junctions and a radiator on the back..... Or maybe a few thermo electric coolers will output a volt or two at several amps ?? David G0MRF _______________________________________________ Sent via [email protected].
