A new approach has been developed for establishing optimized weights for thermal control subsystems. The approach is suited for preliminary design studies where it is necessary to select a preferred thermal control subsystem among a set of candidates. The results of the analytical technique presented in this paper are the optimized weight, radiator area, and heater power requirement for a given subsystem. For a spacecraft program these results are typically included in a subsystem trade where cost and schedules are factored into the final selection process. Six types of thermal control subsystems have been programmed. Program imputs include component temperature limits, the orbital radiation enviroment, interface conductance values, and radiator surface properties. The unique feature of this approach is that with one pass through the computer both hot and cold cases are considered and the optimized weight is identified. (Kursetz)
