Original Principal Investigator(s): Grote, Mr. Michael - Invest. Role: Original, Grote, Mr. Michael - Invest. Role: Present, Calhoun, Leslie - Invest. Role: Original,

Experiment Description:

A number of spacecraft applications could benefit from a precise temperature control system which requires zero electrical power. The dry-reservoir variable-conductance heat pipe (VCHP) system could provide this capability, for long term spaceflight.
