The invention concerns a space craft, such as a telecommunication
geostationary satellite, comprising a body, at lease one main
telecommunication antenna having a specific orientation relative to the
body, at least an omnidirectional antenna having a field of view opposite
to that of the main antennae and at least a radiator extensible by
tilting about an axis linked to the craft body between a slowing position
wherein it is pressed against the body and an extended position. Said
axis is positioned substantially in the plane of one surface of the body
parallel to the orientation of the omnidirectional antenna and to the
surfaces or the surface bearing the main antenna. The radiator tilts at
an angle close to 180 o from a position wherein it is pressed against one
surface bearing a solar panel to a position wherein it extends
substantially in the plane of the surface which bears it when it is
slowed.
