2.8.3 Moving Belt Radiator In the moving belt radiator (MBR) concept, coolant is pumped through a rotating drum. Heat is conducted through the wall of the drum to a moving belt, which radiates the heat to space. The MBR offers specific mass comparable with that of the LDR(3,4) and may require less non-lunar material than the HPR. It is not well enough developed to use in this study. Nonetheless, this radiator concept is promising and deserves further study. 2.8.4 Radiator Systems References 1.
