A kinked thin tube that deploys, possibly using pressurized fluid, and can transport heat to other structures. Radiator panels attached to the tubes can deploy into a flat plane from a stowed configuration, allowing for efficient storage and reduced mass. Additionally, hollow brackets can be used to connect to the thin tubes structurally and thermally.
