Multiple radiator stages separated by V-groove shields protect main cooler from parasitic heat radiation and offer usable cooling themselves. Proposed cryogenic radiative cooler achieves lower temperatures previously possible with passive radiators in space. Provides useful cooling power at several temperatures instead of one. Cold-radiator stage protected by multiple shield assemblies intercepting radiation heat leaks from warmer supporting structure and redirects it out to space. Each shield assembly has effective cooling capacity enabling it to cool optical filter.
