ABSTRACT:
Optical surface reflector, for a spacecraft such as a geostationary satellite.The exterior surface (10) of the reflector comprises a plurality of facets (14) inclined to each other and to the interior surface (12) of the reflector. The facets (14) advantageously form a pyramid with a square base in which the angle at the apex is equal to 90°. However, other arrangements are possible without departing from the scope of the invention. The invention increases radiative capacity without significantly increasing mass and overall size.
