                         two-stage space radiator with variable emissivity coating on its 
                         internal surfaces and we correlate them with experimental data to 
                         validate the numerical model. The feasibility of the radiator 
                         concept called VESPAR (Variable Emittance SPAce Radiator) is 
                         proven using an analytical model and confirmed by a numerical 
                         model. This numerical model is then used to compare the thermal 
                         performance of VESPAR and a conventional flat radiator. The 
                         comparison confirmed that the VESPAR radiator for satellite 
                         thermal control could lead to power savings for survival electric 
                         heaters or even its elimination.",
