A radiator for a geostationary satellite is disclosed having a radiative panel perpendicular to a radiation axis, and pivoting relative to the radiation axis, a mounting foot for the panel, a motor which rotates the mounting foot about a rotation axis, the radiation axis and the rotation axis being tilted relative to each other by an angle corresponding to the angle of the satellite's orbital plane relative to the ecliptic plane of the planet, and a guidance system for the panel, limiting rotation of the panel about the rotation axis, including a connecting arm pivoting relative to the satellite about a first axis and relative to the panel about a second axis concurrent with the first axis at a point of intersection of all the axes.
