This paper summarizes the Space Station program requirements for the Thermal Control System (TCS), and outlines the capabilities of the TCS for each assembly configuration. The TCS architecture for the completed assembly configuration is described, consisting of an active TCS (ATCS) and a passive TCS (PTCS). The four ATCS subsystems are described, including the two-phase ammonia central ATCS, photovoltaic power module, attached payload accommodation equipment and the single-phase water internal ATCS.
