An Evaluation of Shadow Shielding for Lunar System Waste Heat Rejection

An Evaluation of Shadow Shielding for Lunar System Waste Heat Rejection

Shadow shielding is a novel and practical concept for waste heat rejection from lunar surface spacecraft systems. A shadow shield is a light shield that shades the radiator from parasitic thermal radiation emanating from the sun or lunar surface. Radiator size and mass can reduce if the radiator is...
