The overall conceptual design premise of the two major subsystems that make up the Space Station active thermal control system is discussed. Specifically, the thermal loop required to gather and collect the waste heat from the various systems, modules, and payloads of the Space Station and the large radiators necessary to dissipate the waste heat to space are described. The basic design concepts to be incorporated in the Space Station are described, and the ground and flight tests conducted to date to prove the feasibility of the design approaches are summarized. Future Space Shuttle flight tests planned to further verify the designs are outlined.
