Abstract: On the basis of Monte Carlo method,have the results of albedo and infrared view factors of flat plate, hemispherical surface and parabolic surface. Compared with the data of view factors handbook t17, the results show that the program based on Monte Carlo method can be used to calculate orbital heat fluxes of arbitrary shaped convex surfaces of a spacecraft practically and reliably.
