"It really seems like anyone with some renders and a white paper written by someone being gassed up by an overly agreeable AI can get VC funding these days."
Dumping heat is a real pain in space because you can’t use convection. Everything has to use big radiators and cool off radiatively. Then when it is exposed to the sun it will be hit by the full force of the sun’s heat, then when it is in the earth’s shadow it will rapidly cool.

They are in a sun synchronous orbit and the radiators will be positioned for the least contact while the solar panels will be the most.
