An apparatus comprising a satellite includes a first radiator panel on a first side of a central body of the satellite and a second radiator panel on a second side of the central body is provided. The first radiator panel is thermally attached to the second radiator panel. A third side of the central body is positioned between the first side and the second side. A fourth side of the central body is positioned between the first side and the second side, opposing the third side. The first radiator panel is thermally attached to the second radiator panel by one or more coupling heat pipes, the coupling heat pipes exposed to an exterior environment of the satellite.
