source is used in conjunction with a heat sink consisting of a gas-to-liquid heat exchanger (or cooler) and a liquid cooled radiator. The Space Station Solar Dynamic Power Program is currently in the preliminary design phase, with subsequent efforts leading to the first closed loop system test in the fall of 1992. The DIPS technology program is being conducted under DOE sponsorship to provide the enabling technology for projected spacecraft power requirements in the 1 to 10 kW range. Rockwell International, Rocketdyne Division, is the prime contractor on the DIPS program, and Fluid Systems is the subcontractor for the CBC subsystem (TAC, recuperator, and TAC controls). Of the available technologies, the closed
