Two classes of thermal conditions occur on Mars flyby; there are long periods of nearly steady-state thermal conditions, yet, over seven month flight period, slow variation can become significant; changing operational modes of spacecraft, in vicinity of Earth and Mars, causes relatively short-term transients which define temperature extremes; design philosophy applied for controlling temperature is outlined and main equipment, magnetometer, and solar panels are selected as examples to illustrate approach employed; thermal testing carried out and flight results obtained are summarized.
