Abstract
A thermal network model is developed for studying the temperature variation of complicated structure satellite surfaces. The solar incident areas, the infrared and solar radiation transfer coefficients among surfaces are numerically simulated by means of Monte Carlo ray tracing (MCRT) method in model. The non-uniformity and the instability of solar radiation, which plays the important roles in simulating outer-space heat flux designation parameters by solar simulator, are studied for analysis variation of antenna temperature fields in detail. Results showed non-uniformity irradiation effects are greater than those of instability for this kind of geometry sheltering structure.
