Off hand sounds like a pretty bad estimate; skin temperature should be
much higher.

400kg / 200m² ( a 16m diameter circle) is rather low density/loading, isn't it ?


( My son currently does some study tasks on space junk ( observation mostly ) .
   we thought about attaching large flimsy balloons to
   junk items. increase drag until they deorbit.
  One brain fart was that this could maybe used to
   also land them.
