An LHP-based thermal control system for cryocoolers on the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS-02) has been designed and analyzed by means of the system level model based on Sinda/Fluint. It is integrated with the International Space Station (ISS) model by means of a time-varying sink temperature definition, and the performance of LHP-based thermal control is investigated. A parametric analysis is carried out also to understand the influence of critical parameters on the operation of LHP.
