Major design problem in integrated Power/Attitude Control System (IPACS) is effective method for transporting heat from bearing inner race of the rotating assembly to minimize inner-race temperatures and temperature differential across bearing. High-speed rotating assembly in this application is essentially device for storing energy in electrically-driven rotating flywheel.
