Direct calorimetric measurements of a solid state passive switchable radiator for spacecraft thermal control have been performed in a simulated space environment. Dynamic emissivity control is provided by the thermochromic phase change in a multilayer VO<sub>2</sub> thin film based resonant absorber. The measured radiated power difference between 300 K and 373 K was 480 W/m<sup>2</sup> corresponding to a 7× difference in radiative cooling power. We present theoretical and experimental radiator v ...[more]
