Interesting, but unfortunately, they don’t reveal the interesting part on how they are going to radiate away that amount of heat from a low working temperature of ~80+/- C. I would assume they have to concentrate the heat with heat pumps, into a very high point-temp with higher radiation efficiency. But that also cost energy and create heat, so the heat balance in space can be tricky.

I’d be curious to see what sorts of radiators they use to dump the heat as well.
