A radiator structure for a satellite is provided. A first radiator panel adapted to be positioned on a first side of a central body, and a second radiator panel adapted to be positioned on a second side of the central body. Other implementations include a third radiator panel positioned on a third side of the central body. The apparatus also includes at least one heat pipe embedded between a first face and a second face of each radiator panel and extending from the first radiator panel through the first radiator panel and through the second radiator panel. The heat pipe structurally supports the first radiator panel and the second radiator panel relative to the intermediate radiator panel. A method of manufacturing a radiator structure is also provided.
