> The radiator was until it started tracking , earth pointing.So , it should be at its brightest when the observer is directly > between the sun ( below the horizon) and the station....... not necessarily when the complex is overhead. If the solar panels are sun tracking then the radiator should always be pointed away from the sun. In other words in as much shadow as possible. This is ideal for a radiator because you want it to radiate heat away and not recieve sunlight. This means it will probably never flare. - George Roberts ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
