Abstract: Suspension systems are methods for isolating a component from vibration while removing heat from that component are provided. The system includes a suspension system and a thermal energy transfer assembly. The suspension system includes a first mounting panel, to which the component is fixed, a second mounting panel that is fixed to a platform, and a shock isolating assembly that interconnects the first and second mounting panels. The thermal energy transfer assembly includes a first heat pipe network disposed on or within the first mounting panel, a second heat pipe network disposed on or within the second mounting panel, and a heat pipe coupling assembly that thermally connects the first heat pipe network to the second heat pipe network. The component can be a heat generating component mounted to an exterior of a spacecraft.
