This paper primarily addresses the conceptual design of spacecraft thermal management systems and their components in order to provide a basis for the development and implementation of future technologies. The components of the spacecraft thermal management system include the following: heat pipes, latent thermal energy storage materials, radiators and other thermal structures. The design problem becomes one of selecting a combination of these components subject to both spacecraft mission and launch requirements. To facilitate this design process, a knowledge based design assistant is being developed in the artificial intelligence programming language, PROLOG. The goal has been to amplify the capabilities of an experienced designer by putting significant decision making, search and retrieval facilities at his or her disposal.
