The thermal control subsystem is responsible for maintaining the
temperatures of each component on the spacecraft to stay within their
allowable limits. It maintains these temperatures by using a combination
of heaters, radiators,
louvers, blankets and thermal paint.
The thermal control subsystem weighs 20.3 kilograms (44.8 pounds).
