Abstract
The Deployable Space Telescope (DST) project aims at producing a competitive telescope by using segmented deployable light weighted optics which reduces launch volume and mass, and thus launch costs. Due to the criticality of heat management to the performance of the telescope, a thermal model had to be built in order to determine the expected temperatures throughout the telescope in orbit. Further, the premature baffle design required a supportive thermal analysis such that its critical parameters could be determined.
