I am interested in spacecraft thermal control. Is there any book on the subject with a good theoretical base that I could look into? Thanks in advance.

$\begingroup$ Have you tried gilmore’s spacecraft thermal control handbook? $\endgroup$ – Paul Feb 26 '18 at 22:35

1$\begingroup$ I don't know if what you need can be found in answers at this meta community wiki but you might take a look. $\endgroup$ – uhoh Feb 26 '18 at 23:46

$\begingroup$ Also, here are some questions who's answers you might find interesting: 1. How does a thermal control system of a spacecraft basicaly work?, 2. With one out of two Thermal Control Systems on ISS malfunctioning, how long can Loop B keep up with increased load?, 3. What's the typical temperature of a satellite orbiting the Earth? $\endgroup$ – uhoh Feb 26 '18 at 23:58

The Spacecraft Thermal Control Handbook by Gilmore is basically the go-to. Volume 1 focuses on thermal control in general, and volume 2 is specific for cryogenics.
