The application proposes a radiator (1) for a geostationary satellite (2), comprising: - a radiating panel (4) perpendicular to a radiation axis (S), and pivoting relative to the radiation axis (S), - a support leg (7) for the panel, - a motor pivoting the support leg about a rotation axis (R), the radiation axis and the rotation axis being inclined relative to each other by an angle (α) corresponding to the angle of the plane of the satellite's orbit relative to the ecliptic plane of the planet, and - a guidance system (12) for the panel limiting the rotation of the panel about the rotation axis, comprising a connecting arm (14) pivoting relative to the satellite about a first axis (X), and relative to the panel about a second axis (Y) intersecting the first axis at a point of intersection (O) of all the axes.
