Scientific paper

The German X-ray satellite Rosat belongs to a new concept of large astrophysics facilities. Because of the specific Earth orbit parameters, it experienced a number of full Sun orbit phases passing over to eclipse orbits with up to 36 minutes. Up to now, all measured temperatures were within their limits showing an excellent performance of the thermal control subsystem. The thermal behavior of the spacecraft as predicted by the thermal mathematical models is compared with the flight performance. Particular attention is given to the thermal design load cases.
