Deployable Radiators
Solving the thermal issue faced by all spacecraft, from constellations, in-space manufacturing, to orbital data centers.
Thermal flexibility.
With decreased launch costs, improved solar array capabilities and increasing use of edge computing, spacecraft are no longer power limited, they are thermally limited.
Scalable Deployable Radiators
Traditional thermal systems have been either passive, which are hitting the limit of how much heat they can dissipate, or highly bespoke, custom solutions, which can be slow, expensive and lack space heritage.
Astracene solves this via its scalable active radiator system, able to dissipate from 1kW to orbital data center levels, for all types of spacecraft, platforms, and orbital data centers. With its novel patent-pending deployment architecture and cooling system, it takes the hassle out of last minute changes to thermal loads, providing engineers more freedom with their designs.

Astracene’s radiator combines the benefits of off the-shelf hardware, customizable heat dissipation levels, and user friendliness.
Currently under development, it utilizes an active fluid loop to provide a constant interface temperature for variable heat dissipation levels.

With Astracene’s radiators, you gain the freedom from:
– long lead times and risky internal R&D projects.
– constraining your spacecraft mission around the heat load.
– requiring the thermal model exactly match on-orbit performance.
– carrying excess thermal margin through design cycles.
With Astracene’s radiators, you are free from worrying about heat rejection and instead you get a system that works out of the box… literally.
