The atmosphere above the height of 500 km above Earth comprises of too thin to moderate ambient thermal conditions and consequently, the environment above such a height is prone to extremes of temperature, being directly exposed to solar radiation and deep space. So, the Thermals subsystem needs to ensure all the electrical components of the satellite are well within their operating range. <br \>
Various different methods are employed to ensure the thermal stability. The major two divisions being Active and Passive thermal control. By employing these methods iteratively and analysing the results for different initial conditions, the Thermals team tries to come up with the best possible solution, with minimum increase in mass or power requirements.
 
===Requirements on Thermals ===
=== Stiffness Requirements ===
To ensure the launch loading requirements listed earlier, mechanical subsystem poses stiffness requirements on the other subsystems. The other subsystems need to ensure that PCBs and other components comply with these requirements so that they have natural frequency well above natural frequency of the launch vehicle. <br \><br \>
 
 
'''Note:''' All the requirements listed are the generic set of requirements for a satellite. There could be more requirements sure other constraints from a particular mission.
