Our story

Satellite subsystems in space are designed to operate within a limited range of temperatures, however subject to an extreme environment. Preemptive thermal analyses avoid their malfunctioning and failure.

Within the nanosatellite segment, albeit being neglected for most of the early missions, thermal management has become a crucial need for CubeSats, since both mass and power have been constantly increasing since then.

Radian is a thermal analysis software conceived to provide agility to engineers. Our software is accessible through a regular web browser, from any device, and counts on a scalable network of computing resources in the cloud.

Since 2019, more than 30 satellites have reached orbit supported by our analyses, and all of them have successfully reported back thermal telemetry that correlates with the predicted ranges and margins.
