Check the thermostat's configuration (if it has one). If it's a goner, disable the thermostat, run the heater in manual mode, and make the on/off decision in software. I'm no rocket scientist, but I hope someone who is thought of this scenario.

...disable the thermostat, run the heater in manual mode... I used to do that with my Fine French < /sarcasm > automobiles...ALL of them, each and every one. Watch the temp guage, when it gets hot, flip a switch.

Your idea, although quite logical, is too simplistic. Yep, it would likely work, but the techs at JPL involved in this project just have to make it a complicated solution - that way they preserve their value to the project. If it's as simple as your solution, who needs all those high-paid programmers?
