Liquid Droplet Radiator (LDR) is an advanced and light weight radiator for high power space systems that will be prerequisite for large space structures superseding the traditional heat-pipe radiator. LDR consists of 3 elements that are a droplet generator, a droplet collector and a gear pump. The results of performance tests of 3 elements conducted respectively under microgravity confirm that these devices can function properly under weightless condition. This paper describes performance tests on circulation of working fluid in LDR conducted under microgravity and supplementary experiments conducted on the ground. These tests were performed by connecting 3 elements and using vacuum chamber. The results of these tests show that the system, which consists of those elements, can circulate working fluid in LDR.
