The Advanced Thermal Control Flight Experiment (ATFE) was launched aboard the Applications Technology Satellite-6 (ATS-6) on May 30, 1974. ATFE is designed to demonstrate the thermal control capability of a thermal diode (one-way) heat pipe, a feedback-controlled variable conductance heat pipe (FCHP) and a phase change material (PCM). The experiment has been in almost continuous operation since launch. Flight data for the different operational modes are compared to ground-test data, and the performance of the individual components is analyzed. The system's performance with and without feedback control is also compared. Finally, the ATFE's behaviour from launch through May 31, 1975, is presented.
