Abstract
We consider the design of a heat pipe-based emitting radiator used to remove heat from space objects and we investigate its behavior under steady and unsteady conditions. Experimental data obtained for an aluminum radiator point to a rather high efficiency at low temperatures and to the retention of performance capability after unfreezing.
