% Power emitted by the surface:
qe = satprop.coating.epsilon * satprop.Ae * sigma * initial_T^4;

% No external heating source during eclise so satprop.radiating_heat = 0.
% This means that satprop.radiating_heat / (satprop.mass * satprop.thermal_capacity) = 0

% The transient expression becomes:
dTdt = -qe / (satprop.mass * satprop.thermal_capacity);
dTdt = -qe / (satprop.mass * satprop.thermal_capacity) + (satprop.radiating_heat / (satprop.mass * satprop.thermal_capacity));
