need for thermal control books

sir
I am attached to a project of thermal control of satellite. Could you please help me in finding some good reports and books regarding the thermal control.Mainly i need books on thermal modeling ans analysis,hardwares like heat pipes, Louvers,Paints and coatings,MLI blankets etc. I will be very thankful.

They have report 1135 in there. I have that report too! Nice link astronuc.
 
Is there an index with a brief description or at least a title listing somewhere?

Not that I have ever found. I ususally just do searches and eventually narrow things down.

Is there a website search engine, or are you using something like Google?
 
There are two search options on the site link posted by Astronuc. There is a simple and advanced search capability.
