Claim:
1. A telecommunication satellite with geostationary orbit comprising: an upper module; a lower module; a lateral module, disposed in a storage configuration between the upper module and the lower module, and deployed to an operational configuration of the satellite in the orbit by a rotation in relation to an axis Z oriented towards the earth in the operational configuration; at least one mission or service facility linked to the lateral module so as to move at least with the rotation of the lateral module in relation to the axis Z, wherein the lateral module includes two substantially plane and mutually parallel main surfaces that define dissipative surfaces able to dissipate by radiation a quantity of heat generated by the satellite, and wherein the dissipative surfaces, in the operational configuration, are held in a manner substantially parallel to the plane of the orbit, making it possible to limit the solar flux received by the dissipative surfaces and to optimize the quantity of heat dissipated by the lateral module.
