Scientific paper

The US Space Shuttle mission STS-35 carried a payload of ultraviolet telescopes into low Earth orbit which used a passive radiator affixed with heat pipes for thermal control. The radiator system was designed to maintain the temperature of certain supporting electronic packages within the range -10 to +35 C, regardless of payload orientation or orbiter orientation in space. The design and performance of the radiator system during its analysis and preflight testing as well as during its flight of 2-10 Dec. 1990 is reported. The flight performance proved to be within limits for the orbit conditions flown.
