Actively controlled thermal panel and method therefor

摘要: One or more deployable thermal panels (24, 28, 70) are actively controlled throughout the orbit of a satellite (20) to provide dissipation. Adjusting incident angle between panel and sun controlling flow fluid through optional flexible heat pipes loads unloads stability for components (62) which have special requirements. An antenna (70) on nadir side (64) offers an (74) one surface radiating (72) opposing surface. In addition, movements (96) counter-disturbance torques (140).
