  • Direct condensation radiator for spacecraft
    Patent number: 4738304
    Abstract: Cost and weight of a heat transfer structure for a space vehicle can be reduced by an arrangement of redundant channels for the flow of coolant to heat radiating panels, micrometeroid resisting bumpers located adjacent the channels for preventing penetration by all but the most energetic micrometeroids, and a sensing and control arrangement for sensing the penetration of a coolant channel for shutting off that channel to prevent loss of coolant.
