The spacecraft bus for RADARSAT-2... SAR payload... Thermal Subsystem : In its sun-synchronous orbit, one side of RADARSAT-2 is usually exposed to continuous sunlight. Between the left-and right-looking imaging mode, different areas of the SAR antenna are exposed to varying intensities of sunlight. Thermal control is required to reflect or dissipate the heat of the Sun on the spacecraft body and SAR antenna, as well as to dissipate the heat that is generated internally by the satellite's electronics.

OBS

thermal subsystem: term officially approved by the RADARSAT-2 Terminology Approval Group (RTAG).
