FRANCE and GERMANY have undertaken a joint program to provide the two countries with direct broadcasting satellites.The developed platforms and their thermal control must permit : The proposed modular concept allows easy adaptation to various payloadsThese satellites require an advanced thermal control design to: The proposed thermal control concept relies, in particular, on various heatpipe networks (86 units, total length 118 m), large radiative areas and numerous heaters with a specific Thermal Control Electronic (TCE).In-depth thermal analyses and important development tests have been performed to assess thermal performances
