A thermal control system has been designed for the Uniformly Redundant Array (URA), which is a shuttle-launched scientific experiment to detect and map x-ray sources in space. Our tasks included the design, development, installation, and testing of the thermal control system for the experiment. The URA thermal control system must assure that the various components of the experiment survive and remain within operational temperature limits when exposed to temperature extremes of space resulting from different shuttle orientations. A thermal model was developed to simulate different orbital configurations and thermal-vacuum tests were conducted to test the reliability of the thermal hardware, and verify the thermal model. The tests and analyses indicated that the thermal control system was able to meet the design goals.
