Does the ISS utilize Passive Thermal Control?
2000 degrees. I've always had a hard time understanding HVAC systems in space. Maybe that's because the components that make up the equations are not real?

Check out this NASA gem. It's like they are openly mocking us as chickens they are roasting.

I also found this to be reasonable evidence of something not being as they say it is.

Thanks for the bumps.

Still just wanting to know if the metal box in the sky in 2000 degrees utilizes, as the Apollo missions did, PTC.

Because your assumptions are wrong, space is cold.


How hot does it get outside the ISS?
250 degrees F
The outside of the ISS can reach temperatures as high as 250 degrees F (121 C) on the sunny side and as low as -250 degrees F (-157 C) on the shady side. Inside the ISS are plenty of things that generate heat - such as human bodies, laptop computers, pumps, and other electrical devices

So it can reach 4500 degrees F but the lack of molecules reduces heat transfer so it is only 250 to -250 F. Presumably, those loosely packed molecules are heated by the sun in their local environment to 4500 F.

So why doesn't the sun heat the densely packed molecules of the space station directly?

I'd love to know the wear and tear on any gaskets (like the ones in the cupola) as they go from 250 to -250 every 45 minutes or so.

Magic gaskets.

Not to mention its 14,000 sq ft which is the size of 3 large houses. Just to heat that area if the ISS was in Minnesota it would take 720,000 BTU.

Luckily its only in Houston in front of a VR green screen.
