Revised optical air mass tables and approximation formula
Abstract
We correct an error in a widely used air mass table by recalculating the values on the basis of the ISO Standard Atmosphere (1972) and revise its approximation formula.

There are two thermal control techniques excessively discussed, active and passive, but the latter one is referred to as the best solution for NanoSats and CubeSats.

“where Vλ is the measured solar irradiance at wavelength λ, Vo,λ is the spectral irradiance outside the Earth’s atmosphere at wavelength λ, d is the ratio of mean to actual Sun–Earth distance, and m is the optical air mass (Kasten and Young, 1989).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
