Space tug thermal control equipment thermal requirements, characteristics and constraints catalogue

The Space Tug Thermal Control Study contained two tasks associated with the cataloging of equipment thermal requirements, physical characteristics and constraints. In satisfaction of these tasks a Data Bank program was developed to provide a means of standardizing the method of cataloging while using the computer to handle the data and format the data into the desired catalogues. During the course of the study 109 components were catalogued and included in the Data Bank. A standardized method was selected for describing each component. Each subsystem of the Avionics System is described on a subsystem header page which describes the types of components included within the subsystem, the quantity requirements, target weights, target power and relative comments. The individual components listed within each subsystem are not necessarily a complete list of candidate items but do represent several of the presently available components for consideration in a Tug application.
