Cryogenic radiators for radiometers, and more particularly for satellite-supported radiometers

摘要

Structure of revolution for protecting and supporting a cryogenic radiator in a satellite. This structure includes two frusto-conical screens arranged practically one above the other and joined by an intermediate flange. The upper screen acts as a sunshade in respect of solar radiation, whereas the lower screen facilitates self-radiation of the cryogenic radiator and protects it from the environment.
