There is an Earth-orbiting satellite treated as a single spherical lumped mass with solar cells covering the exterior, with a radius of 10 cm, a Beta Angle of 0°, an orbital altitude of 500 km, a mass of 4 kg. Use the specific heat of Titanium 6Al-4V. The satellite consumes 10 W of power on average. What is the expected temperature range for an orbit?
