Q.2. SOLAR CONSTANT (15 points)
To be used for space weather predictions and effects, Trkiye plans to launch a spacecraft to be stationed at L1. The spacecraft planned to be built will have a circular orbit and four solar panels placed such a way that they make a \(30^{\circ}\) angle with the incoming solar radiation. It is known that the solar panels are made of glass which reflects \(15\%\) of the incoming energy. Calculate the total solar energy that the spacecraft receives to be used for its fuel consumption. The size of each solar panel will be 10 meters in length and 5 meters in width. Ignore the thickness of the solar panels.
