Abstract: Recent efforts in space exploration have focused on budget solutions for monitoring Earth’s climate and astrophysics. Implementing such a satellite requires thermal design in order to maintain the scientific instruments and bus components within their ideal operating temperatures. This paper outlines the thermal system’s engineering design and thermal analysis for a High Usability Host Spacecraft. Preliminary thermal engineering results suggest that the High Usability Host Spacecraft concept proposed herein is viable for low-cost scientific instrumentation satellite based missions.
