A spherical communications satellite 2-m in diameter is placed in orbit around the earth. The satellite generates 1000 W of internal power from a small nuclear generator. If the surface of the satellite has an emittance of 0.3 and is shaded from solar radiation by the earth, estimate the surface temperature. What is the temperature if the satellite with an absorptivity of 0.2 is in an orbit in which it is exposed to solar radiation? Assume the sun is a blackbody and irradiation striking the satellite is 1366 W/m2 and state your assumptions.

GIVEN
• Spherical satellite
• Diameter (D) = 2 m
• Heat generation = 1000 W
• Emittance (?) = 0.3
• Absorptivity of satellite (?)=0.2
• Solar irradiation(G)=1366 W/m2
FIND
• The surface temperature (Ts)
• Surface temperature of satellite
ASSUMPTIONS
• The satellite radiates to space which behaves as a blackbody enclosure at 0 K
• The system is in steady state
