Solar Radiation profiles for a 3U CubeSat in LEO

This paper introduces a relatively simple model to retrieve data about the solar radiation profiles on the external faces of a generic 3U-CubeSat in Low Earth Orbit (LEO). The model is inspired by relevant papers, and the related code is entirely written on Matlab. The code was intended to be well adjustable for various ranges of orbits and CubeSats with minimum effort and provide base data to be used in higher-level studies.
