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.
