About
ARQUIMEA’s thermo-structural radiator panels are multifunctional satellite structural elements that simultaneously serve as load-bearing panels and thermal radiators. They are part of the satellite primary or secondary structure and radiate excess heat generated by onboard electronics into deep space. Panels are delivered fully equipped and ready for integration, including all structural inserts, Secondary Surface Materials (SSM) such as Optical Solar Reflectors (OSRs), heaters, harness, and thermistors.
Panels are manufactured from aluminum skins bonded to aluminum honeycomb cores, capable of withstanding extreme thermal environments from cryogenic to high temperatures. They are available with or without embedded heat pipes, and can operate from mono-level to multi-level embedded heat pipe networks, reaching dissipation capabilities of up to 6 kW per panel with heat pipes. Maximum panel size reaches up to 18 m².
ARQUIMEA has manufactured and delivered 69 panel units currently in orbit and 50 additional units waiting to be launched, across programs covering telecommunications (Intelsat 31, Jupiter 2, BRIsat, Asiasat 9), in-orbit servicing, science, and Earth observation missions.
