1 Scope
Factors affecting the equilibrium temperature of a spacecraft surface are described
in this Part 3 using simple geometrical configurations and basic assumptions.
Methods for conducting calculations on the affect of Solar, planetary and albedo radiation
are given taking into consideration the internal and immediate environmental factors
and incorporating the various configurations and dimensions of the constituent parts.
