Thermal ICD

The thermal subsystem interface with other subsystems mechanically, electrically, and thermally.

Table 1 shows the type, location, and control of each thermal component. 

Surface mount thermistors are electrically connected to their reading-board, where they report the collected temperature telemetry. They are mechanically soldered on the component that they collect telemetry from.

Component mount thermistors are also electrically connected to their reading-board, where they report the collected temperature telemetry. They are mechanically adhered to the component that they collect telemetry from with thermal epoxy.

Battery heaters have an adhesive backing, and are mechanically adhered to the battery saddle. They are also electrically connect to the power supply to receive power. 

Thermal epoxy act as a mechanical interface mechanism between components.
