compute the maximum solar radiation force on the panels.
Express your answer in Newtons but please just enter the numeric portion(leave off the 'Newtons') of your answer in the box provided.
Additional Information:
Total illuminated ISS solar panel area is 1250 m2
Assume the solar illumination is such that the array generates the max torque possible i.e.:
Perfect solar array reflectance, (r =1.0)solar array incident angle, (I =0o) Earth is at perihelion where the solar constant, Fs =1404.5 W/m2
