Abstract
The invention concerns a space craft, such as a telecommunication geostationary satellite, comprising a body, at least one main telecommunication antenna having a specific orientation relative to the body, at least a 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 stowing position wherein it is pressed against the body and an extended position. The 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.degree. 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 stowed.
