Q1.(30 points) A spherical communications satelite, 2 m in diameter, is placed in arbit
cround the earth. The satellite generates 1000 W of infernal power from a small nuclear
generator. If the surface of the satelite has an emissivity of 0.3, and is shaded from solar
radiation by the earth, estimate its surface temperature. What would the temperature
be if the satellite with an absorptivity of 0.2 were in an orbit in which il would be exposed
to solar radiation? Assume the sum is a blackbody at 5800 K
