Abstract: A target supply system includes a target generation unit configured to generate a liquid target substance by melting a solid target substance at an inside thereof, and output the liquid target substance; an input mechanism configured to introduce the solid target substance to the target generation unit; a heater arranged at the target generation unit; a sensor configured to detect a temperature of the target generation unit; and a processor configured to control an input timing at which the solid target substance is introduced to the target generation unit, perform feedback control on the heater based on a present temperature detected by the sensor, and perform feedforward control on the heater based on the input timing while performing feedback control on the heater.
