Evaluating contractor proposed Thermal Control systems for GSFC out of house spacecraft and instruments. Developing Thermal requirements for GSFC managed spacecraft and instruments. Development of appropriate interface requirements between other subsystems and between spacecraft and instruments. Developing Thermal Control Systems for GSFC in house Spacecraft and Instruments. Managing and performing Thermal Analysis for GSFC missions.
Thermal analysis is performed for all phases of each mission to insure thermal requirements are met.
Managing the Thermal Integration and Test activities for GSFC managed spacecraft and instrument thermal control systems. These activities include procurement of thermal hardware, fabrication of spacecraft Multi-Layer Insulation, installation of thermal hardware, and thermal balance and thermal vacuum testing. Monitoring the thermal performance of GSFC spacecraft and instruments throughout the life of the mission. Evaluating new thermal control technologies for possible use in future flight programs.
