Capillary Pumped Loops (CPL’s) and Loop Heat Pipes (LHP’s) are finding increased acceptance on upcoming NASA spacecraft missions, as well as military and commercial applications. The transition from a research and development tool to an “off the shelf” system is underway. The state of the art of two phase systems (TPS) is reviewed and applications on various NASA missions are discussed, with particular emphasis on new technology developments. Upcoming research areas and flight experiments are also addressed, along with recommendations for future activities.
