SIM PlanetQuest: Mili-Kelvin Analysis of the Collector Sub-system Thermal Model
Space Interferometry Mission (SIM) PlanetQuest is part of the NASA Astronomical Search for Origins (ASO) program. It will use a Michelson Interferometer to locate extrasolar planets, among other objectives. The spacecraft's subsystems, temperature requirements, and thermal control approach are discussed. The current SIM thermal design is analyzed using a Milli-Kelvin approach and appears to meet temperature stability requirements on the OOPCC optic. SIM absolute temperature requirements are met through the robustness of the thermal design (i.e., PIC control).

The Space Interferometry Mission (SIM) - Revolutionary astronomy, breakthrough technology
The Space Interferometry Mission (SIM), with a target launch date of 2009, will be one of the premiere missions in the Astronomical Search for Origins (ASO) Program, the bold NASA endeavor to understand the origins of galaxies, of planetary systems around distant stars, and perhaps the origins of life itself. This adventure of discovery will be enabled by an explosive growth of innovative technology, as exciting in its own right as the underlying scientific quest.
