Deployable radiator for spacecraft

摘要

The satellite deployable radiator has a stored position and a deployed position. The radiator (5) has two faces with a first face with a large radiating area (5R) stored towards the stored position. A second face is oriented towards space in the stored position, and is thermally isolating. A major part of the second face (5I), hidden during storage radiates during deployment. The radiator is also used as a screen to assist transfer of the satellite to an orbital position.
