ABSTRACT:
A deployable radiator panel system for use in spacecraft or the like for rejecting power when exposed to space. A plurality of panels are mounted in stacked juxtaposition in stored condition for rotation from the stored condition about a common axis in a fan-type manner to fully operative angular positions to form a composite panel arrangement. The panels are formed with bowtie configurations having diverging panel sections projecting from opposite sides of the axis of rotation to form a circular panel array. Drive mechanisms are provided for drawing the panels axially to a generally common plane when the panels are in their fully operative angular positions, and for drawing the panels into tight engagement with a common condenser.
