A novel design to improve the cooling capability of spaceborne cryogenic passive radiators is described. The design is based on the use of lightweight angled radiation shields, low-conductance structural supports, and a separate detachable launch-support system to reduce the parasitic heat leaks from the warm spacecraft to the cold radiator. The effectiveness of this design is demonstrated by thermal-vacuum-chamber experiments which indicate that the angled-radiation-shield assembly has an effective emittance that is an order of magnitude lower than that of the best multilayer insulation used in flight. Performance predictions based on the experiments and analytical model indicate that an advanced passive-radiator design based on this technology would be between 10 and 57% of the size and 10 and 36% of the mass of the best state-of-the-art passive radiators and would make lower temperatures (< 60 K) and larger heat loads practical. The cooling requirements of many new spaceborne instruments could be accommodated by application of this new passive-radiator design.
