The fabrication and testing of a prototype deployable radiator system is described. Vapor compression with a conventional aircraft compressor yielded a net heat rejection effect at high environments while returning low temperature (10 F and 35 F) conditioned fluid to the payload thermal control system. The system is compatible with shuttle orbiter payloads, free flying experiment modules launched from the shuttle, or by another launch vehicle. (Author)
