To transfer the waste heat from a next generation spacecraft into the space the now used liquid pumping systems can be changed by capillary driven heat pipe systems which are not so unreliable considering the micrometeoroid puncture. The two phase space radiator working with amonia was tested under vacuum and temperatures about 0 Cel. The automation aspects of assembling, monitoring and controlling of the space radiator systems, the wreckage conditions, and next technology steps are discussed as well as the NASA's procedures and approach by starting this effort.
