A study of the effect on a typical orbiter payload thermal environment resulting from specular reflections from the forward orbiter radiatorsThe orbiter radiator external coating is highly specular silverized Teflon. Solar energy specularly reflected from these radiators on a typical payload which, when deployed, extends above the payload bay envelope was studied. The flux levels are compared assuming both diffuse and specular radiators.
