The environmental perturbations should go quite slow most of the time,
as it glides in the void slowly away and often have a fairly stable
direction with regards to the sun. If they have spin-rotation it
complicates things a bit.

Decent dewar-flask with better background radiation and one major heat
source that you track for the solar panels.

Cheers,
Magnus
