The objective of the Italian-Dutch scientific satellite SAX (Satellite for X-ray Astronomy) is the observation of celestial X-ray sources over a large energy range 0.1 to 300 keV. Eight Scientific Instruments (SI) are carried on SAX. Four of these SI's are the concentrators (covering the 0.1 + 10 keV energy range), they consist of a detector and a mirror unit which are directly exposed to the space cooling effect. A dedicated thermal design was studied to guarantee the temperature requirement of these instruments and a development test was carried out to evaluate its performance.
