Composite heat pipes, methods of assembling composite heat pipes, sandwich panels having one or more composite heat pipes, methods of assembling sandwich panels, radiator panels, methods of assembling radiator panels, spacecraft, and methods of assembling spacecraft are disclosed. Composite heat pipes include an elongate conductive casing and one or more fiber reinforced composite layers operatively coupled to one or more lateral sides of the elongate conductive casing. Sandwich panels include two spaced-apart face-sheets, a core positioned between the two spaced-apart face-sheets, and one or more composite heat pipes. Spacecraft include a body and two radiator panels operatively coupled to the body opposite each other.
