Part Request - 30 deg and half-width graphene radiator panels

To more faithfully replicate some early (Stuhlinger) and contemporary NEP spacecraft concepts (such as HOPE and JIMO), an additional set of fixed graphene radiator panels that permit a narrower radiation shadow zone would be useful. The kludge is to rotate, offset, and overlap the current 45 deg and full-width panels, or use a somewhat less space-efficient stair-step layout. I haven't tested whether overlapping panels cause a radiative blockage effect...

Exists now, closing this

Not sure why you closed this, I might actually do it :)
