Advanced Thermal control Flight Experiment (ATFE)A comprehensive description of the design and performance of the Advanced Thermal Control Flight Experiment (ATFE) is presented. The ATFE studied in a space environment for five years the steady state, transient ground and flight performance of (1) a thermal diode heat pipe, (2) a phase change material, and (3) a feedback controlled variable conductance heat pipe. It was found that all were flight worthy and highly reliable.
