Abstract

The Visible Ultraviolet Experiment sensor was successfully flown on a Defense Support Program satellite at geosynchronous orbit. This paper discusses the thermal design employed for the sensor which was mounted on the rotating DSP platform. The most critical thermal design problem involved maintaining an isothermal telescope temperature. Thermal performance data is presented showing that observed performance is in good agreement with predicted performance.
