This presentation reviews the use of Capillary Pumped Loops on the EOS-TERRA spacecraft, It starts with a brief review of the status of CPL technology. On the TERRA spacecraft, CPL's will be used for thermal control of 3 instruments. The document reviews the ground testing, and states that life testing will continue to run for three year, even after the launch.The document has schematic diagrams of the EOS-AM spacecraft, the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer - Thermal-Infrared Radiometer (ASTER-TIR) CPL configuration, the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer - Short-Wave-Infrared Radiometer (ASTER-SWIR). The use of Measurements of Pollution In The Troposphere (MOPITTS) Capillary Pumped Heat Transport System (CPHTS) is reviewed, and the performance is summarized in several charts. The use of CPHTS in the ASTER-SWIR is reviewed. The loops in the ASTER-TIR module is also reviewed, and the problems with the second loop temperature control is discussed.
