A spacecraft includes a spacecraft main body, including payload equipment disposed on an inner panel surface of at least one radiator panel, the at least one radiator panel having an exterior-facing outer panel surface. The spacecraft includes at least one electric thruster disposed proximate to an aft facing panel of the spacecraft main body. The at least one electric thruster is thermally coupled with the at least one radiator panel by way of a thermally conductive path.
