Abstract
A three axis stabilized geostationary satellite comprises a structure having walls that face North and South when the satellite is on station and carrying at a storage battery of large capacity. The storage battery is constituted by cells mounted on a chassis having a base plate oriented North-South and mechanically secured to sides that face North and South when the satellite is on station. The sides carry thermal radiators that are thermally connected to each other and to the cells. Typically sides are in alignment with North and South faces of the structure and extend away from the Earth.
