Satellite comprising heat transport means from a shelf supporting equipment to radiator panels

摘要

The satellite has a structure (6) including a north face and a south face oriented perpendicular to an earth rotational axis. The structure has an east face and a west face exposed periodically to solar radiation during rotation of satellite. The structure has a rack that supports electronic equipment and includes a fluid loop transferring heat emitted by the equipment towards panel radiators disposed at the respective faces. The fluid loop includes evaporators in thermal contact with each of the faces.
