ABSTRACT:
A closed-loop heat pipe transport design for a deployment application having a flexible section which connects to a payload structure and a deployable structure. The flexible section is a coil which is offset from the axis of rotation of the deployable structure. Upon rotation of the deployable structure around a predetermined axis, the flexible coil decompresses and sweeps in an arcuate fashion with a portion of said flexible coil aligning with the axis. When the deployable structure has completed its rotation and is fully deployed, the flexible coil will rest in substantially the same plane as it did before sweeping.
