Abstract
Provided herein are various enhancements for thermal regulation systems of satellites. In one example, a satellite includes an assembly comprising a main panel having at least one component having a power dissipation property, and side panels generally perpendicular to the main panel and rotatably coupled to radiator panels deployable outward from the side panels. The satellite also includes a thermal network comprising heat pipes at least partially embedded in the main panel configured to accept thermal energy from the component and transport the thermal energy to the side panels for further transport to the radiator panels and radiation by the radiator panels when deployed.
