Abstract
Disclosed is an artificial satellite including a battery pack capable of dissipating heat, at least one radiator capable of conveying the heat dissipated by the battery pack into space, and a low-dissipation equipment item having an individual power flux density of less than 250 watts/m2. The satellite includes a thermally insulating cover delimiting, together with the radiator, an interior isothermal zone in which thermal control takes place by radiation, the battery pack and the low-dissipation equipment being arranged in thermally insulating cover. The battery pack has an operating range of between 0° C. and 50° C. and preferably of between 10° C. and 30° C.
