Telemetry reports showed that the temperature aboard ARISSat-1/KEDR had been rising as atmospheric drag began to affect the satellite. Final temperatures received via ARISSatTLM reported this data:
| IHU | 75 ° C / 167.0 °F |
| PSU | 76 ° C / 168.8 °F |
| RF | 88 ° C / 190.4 °F |
| Control Panel | 61 ° C / 141.8 °F |
