>Magister Scientiae - MSc === When the spacecrafts orbit in space, it is subjected to significant thermal cycling variation. Thermal regulation of the spacecraft temperature is required to ensure a good
operation of the small crafts such as CubeSats and the on-board equipment while minimizing the weight. Three methods employed for the Smart Radiator Devices (SRD)
are (i) mechanical louvers, (ii) electrochromic coatings and (iii) thermochromic coatings
