Complete heat-flux and temperature maps computed. Computer program SSQ developed to address and quantify complex, solar-shadowing conditions inherent in sparse, lattice-type space structures. Analysis procedure one of assessing partial shadowing of structural elements by multiple, similar slender members. Program yields schedules of incident-solar, Earth-thermal, and Earth-albedo radiation throughout complete orbit for elemental locations on selected structural members. Thermal response computed in optional routine. Complete heat-flux and temperature mapping obtained by repeated computations for selected elements of interest.
