Abstract: 
The software package TRASSA for the computer simulation and calculation of the thermal mode of a spacecraft in orbital flight conditions is described. The purpose of the simulating programs is considered. The techniques for the construction of the spacecraft geometrical model, calculation of its orientation in the orbit and modelling of radiating heat exchange in it are covered. The thermal scheme of a spacecraft is represented by an oriented graph and the mathematical model of heat exchange is given concerning this graph as a hybrid one including models of the concentrated and distributive parameters. We present the computation of the thermal mode of a satellite oriented to the Sun.
