  • Heat dissipating, light-reflecting plates for radiator systems of spacecraft and methods for fabricating the same
    Publication number: 20050151021
    Abstract: A heat-dissipating, light-reflecting plate for a radiator of a spacecraft is provided. The heat-dissipating, light-reflecting plate has an at least partially transparent, thermally conductive layer and a plurality of first light-reflecting surfaces disposed proximate to the at least partially transparent, thermally conductive layer. A plurality of second light-reflecting surfaces also is disposed proximate to the at least partially transparent, thermally conductive layer. At least a first sub-set of the plurality of second light-reflecting surfaces is oriented at a first angle to at least a first sub-set of the plurality of first light-reflecting surfaces.
