(FR2765190-A1)      The satellite has at least one face (5) acting as a thermal radiator for on-board instruments and positioned in the solar radiation trajectory. It also has a solar generating panel (7) which constantly faces towards the sun and projects from the radiator face (5), and a screen (14) which is joined to the solar panel and interrupts the solar radiation moving towards the face (5).    The solar panel is mounted in the centre of the radiator face, and the screen (14) is connected to it by an arm (15) joined to the panel's supporting leg (10). The radiator face can be on the north- or south-facing surface of the satellite platform, and it has a coating with a high infrared emission level.    ADVANTAGE -   Improved heat radiation without having to mount solar panels eccentrically, which increases control difficulties.
