In an orbiting space station, an electronic package is housed in a compartment having a surface area 1 m² which is exposed to space. The surface emissivity is 1.0. Under normal operating conditions, the electronics generate 500 W of heat which must be dissipated from the exposed surface to space. If the surface is exposed to a solar flux of 750 W/m² and its absorptivity to solar radiation is 0.25, please find the steady-state temperature of the surface.
