The components of the ACS need to be maintained within certain temperature limits for health and safety considerations and for the optimal scientific use of the cameras. The ACS and a NICMOS cryocooler are planned to be installed on the same mission. To provide the necessary additional cooling, there will be a new Aft Shroud Cooling System (ASCS). Heat produced by STIS, COS and ACS will be dissipated by radiators on the shaded side of HST. The NICMOS cryocooler will be attached to a separate NCS radiator. The addition of COS will eventually mean that not all instruments can run simultaneously at their design operational temperatures. Current planning calls for the NICMOS cryolcooler to be installed at the same time as the ACS but the ASCS to be placed on a later mission. The ACS will operate for at least a year without the cooling benefit of the ASCS.
