ABSTRACT:
An earth orbiting satellite (10) having an interior portion (22) supporting heat generating elements (26) and an exterior portion (12) having a thermal radiator (20) for heat radiated by these elements, is provided with reflectors (34s, 34c) in the annulus between the interior and exterior portions, the reflectors being configured to reflect radiation from the axially extending side surfaces of the heat generating elements to the thermal radiator and to conduct heat from the heat generating elements and radiate the conducted heat to the thermal radiator.
