Abstract
Besides their place in the field of space technology education, the significance of CubeSats is increasing nowadays. Thanks to the miniaturization and to their low cost, technological and scientific experiments can be carried out with such a small satellite. Our paper describes an energy efficient measurement and optimization process which ensures that the onboard batteries are heated up to operation temperature at the beginning of the mission, regardless the initial conditions of its operation.
