A space vehicle (100) is described. The space vehicle (100) comprises one or more heat-producing components (102), and a closed loop cooling system (300) configured to remove heat generated by the one or more heat-producing components (102). The closed loop cooling system (300) comprises a coolant passageway (303) defining a closed loop, a coolant located within the coolant passageway (303), the coolant comprising a static pressure of 100 pounds per square inch or lower and the coolant being in a single liquid phase through the coolant passageway (303), and one or more pumps (334) configured to move the coolant through the coolant passageway (303). The closed loop cooling system (300) further comprises a first heat exchange component (306) disposed along the coolant passageway (303), the first heat exchange component (306) configured to transfer heat from the heat-producing components (102) to the coolant, and a second heat exchange component (342) disposed along the coolant passageway (303), the second heat exchange component (342) configured to remove heat from the coolant.
