<p>The invention concerns a satellite (1) for placing in a 3 - axis geostationary orbit and having a pair of solar panels (2,3) extending therefrom, the planes of the panels lying parallel to the axis of rotation of the satellite when in orbit. The invention is characterised by the solar panels being offset with regard to said axis of rotation so as to provide masking from the sun's rays for the faces of the satellite on which the panels are mounted. <IMAGE></p> |
