Abstract: Copper-water heat pipes are commonly used for thermal management of electronics systems on earth and aircraft, but have not been used in spacecraft thermal control applications to date, due to the satellite industry's requirement that any device or system be successfully tested in a microgravity environment prior to adoption. Recently, Advanced Cooling Technologies Inc., (ACT), NASA Marshall Space Flight Center, and the International Space Station office at NASA's Johnson Space Center demonst...
