The invention relates to a deployable sun-protection screen for a piece of space equipment (1) configured to switch from a stored configuration to a deployed configuration and comprising: -- first rods (21); -- second rods (22) for deploying the screen (2) in a radial direction (r, Θ); -- third rods (23) for deploying the screen (2) in an axial direction (z); and -- rotary links (24, 25) joining rods (21, 22, 23) to one another, the rotary links being active (25), storing an amount of energy, or passive (24), the second rods (22) and third rods (23) being folded when the screen (2) is in the stored configuration, the active rotary links (25) being configured to unfold the second and third rods (22, 23) and trigger the transition from the stored configuration to the deployed configuration, by driving the rotation of the passive rotary links (24) and a deployment in an axial direction and in a radial direction.
