Spacecraft shape has a great influence on its aerodynamic and heat characteristics. This paper presents the statements and analytical solutions of new optimization problems of finding optimal 3-dimensional body shapes from viewpoint of minimum of radiation heat transfer (including the problems of optimal longitudinal and transversal contours of bodies).
Keywords: Aerospace, shape, optimization, variational analysis
