Question:
A satellite may be considered spherical, with its surface properties roughly those of aluminum. Its orbit may be considered circular at a height of 500 miles above Earth. Taking the satellite diameter as 50 in., estimate the temperature of the satellite skin. Earth may be considered to be at a uniform temperature of 50°F, and the emissivity of Earth may be taken as 0.95. Solar irradiation may be taken as 450 Btu/h ft2 of satellite disc area.
