The thermal design analysis methodology, the thermal control philosophy, and preliminary thermal analysis results associated with specific shuttle payloads are presented. The payloads considered are the Get-Away Special canisters being developed by NASA Goddard, which may be flown on a variety of missions, and the six experiments which are mounted on the GSFC pallet to be flown on Operational Flight test No. 4 (OFT-4). The thermal control alternatives currently available to OFT-4 instruments are the use of pallet cold plates (if available) or operational constraints which allow passive thermal control without the use of excessive heater power. The characteristics of a completely passive thermal control design are evidenced by the results of the Get-Away Special canister analysis.
