ABSTRACT:
A spacecraft battery thermal management system is provided that includes a battery, a first radiator panel and a second radiator panel. A first face of the first radiator panel is arranged to face a first direction and a first face of the second radiator panel is arranged to face a second direction opposite the first direction. A first heat pipe thermally couples the battery and the first radiator panel and is configured to control the transfer of heat between the battery and the first radiator panel. A second heat pipe thermally couples the battery and the second radiator panel and is configured to control the transfer of heat between the battery and the second radiator panel. Solar cells are optionally arranged on the faces of the first and/or second radiator panels.
