In summary, the conversation is about finding resources on thermal control for a project related to satellite. The person is looking for books and reports on thermal modeling and analysis, as well as hardware such as heat pipes, louvers, paints, and MLI blankets. They also mention a specific report, 1135, and inquire about an index or search engine for the website.
