Satellite thermal transport system for earth-facing components

A satellite, comprising:

• a first assembly comprising a main panel with a component having a power dissipation and configured to function in an earth-facing arrangement with respect to an orbit having at least a diurnal temperature attribute from solar illumination, side panels generally perpendicular to the main panel in east facing and west facing configurations facing parallel to an equatorial plane, and radiator panels rotatably deployable outward from the side panels into north facing and south facing configurations perpendicular to faces of the main panel and of the side panels;
• a thermal network configured to regulate the component to a target temperature, and comprising first heat pipes at least partially embedded in the main panel configured to accept thermal energy from the component and transport the thermal energy to the side panels for further transport to the radiator panels and subsequent radiation by the radiator panels in a direction perpendicular to the faces of the main panel and of the side panels;
• and
• a second assembly thermally incongruent from the first assembly and comprising a non-earth-facing panel with respect to the orbit and having a thermal network having second heat pipes configured to regulate a temperature of at least one additional component to a different target temperature than the component of the first assembly.
