On-Orbit Thermal Performance of A Submillimeter Telescope Primary Reflector Panel
An Optimized thermal design for the SMILS Telescope has been developed. This design has demonstrated that the expected on-orbit lateral temperature gradient in the primary reflector has been minimized.

On-Orbit Thermal Performance of a Submillimeter Telescope Primary Reflector Panel
A detailed thermal analysis has been performed for a panel of a segmented primary mirror which is closest to the high side of the telescope sunshade. This panel was selected because the spatial temperature distribution was expected to be the worst. The JPL90-10 primary reflector panel configuration was investigated because of its superior figure error performance in ground-based testing.
