Error Description

Thermal control failure occurs when the satellite’s temperature goes outside the safe operating range, either from excessive heating or freezing of components.

Response

• Check thermal system logs for overheating or freezing components.
• Reorient satellite to minimize sun exposure or optimize radiators.
• Engage thermal control system (e.g., heaters, thermal radiators) to regulate temperature.
• If thermal control continues to malfunction, enter safe mode to preserve critical systems.
• Prioritize power conservation if temperatures exceed safe operational limits.
