In 1995 TAIS Ltd developed and manufactured a Thermal Control System (TCS) for Nickel-Cadmium Batteries (NCB) based on Loop Heat Pipes (LHP). This TCS was ordered for the Chinese meteorological satellite FY-1C by Shanghai Institute of Spacecraft Engineering. The paper presents results of comparative analysis for some design features of the TCS, thermal vacuum test results, description of TCS layout for the NCB on board the FY-1 C satellite, test results for TSC after its integration into the satellite and flight telemetry data.

Thermal Control System based on different types of Heat Pipes (HP), including Loop Heat Pipes (LHP) has been designed, manufactured and tested. The goal to design and to launch the Thermal Control System with LHP was established and achieved.
