Popis: With passively cooled infrared space telescopes being proposed in many missions for the next century by both ESA and NASA, accurate models are needed to predict their behaviour. However, commercially available packages do not model radiative heat transfer correctly. We tackle this problem with our own Monte-Carlo model of a space telescope with simplified geometry but sophisticated handling of radiation heat transfer.
