Abstract: Thermal links are essential to the successful operation of many of today's advanced space systems. The aerospace industry constantly searches for new, more efficient means of moving thermal energy away from sensitive instruments. As current technologies continue to advance, satellites become smaller and better than before. Work must continue, however, to develop more efficient, lightweight thermal links. Recent advances in the construction of carbon based composite fibers now allows the possibility of designing a thermal link with an impressive combination of low mass. !5
