A method for cooling a satellite system comprising configuring a plurality of fins to absorb and emit thermal radiation, wherein the ratio of absorptivity/emissivity is less than one; mechanically coupling the plurality of fins to the outside surface of a satellite, wherein the angle of the plurality of fins can be adjusted and controlled such that they can be stowed against the surface of the satellite or deployed; deploying the fins as necessary to expel heat from the satellite.
