Abstract

The design of thermal control system for a deep space probe is to incorporate advanced active temperature control technology and advanced system design method into the thermal control design of low Earth orbit (LEO) spacecraft fully used for reference, to ensure that the temperature of equipments and structural elements of the deep space probe is within the required range.
