Quoting: Chuckles 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 |

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. "Anything worth doing is worth doing badly." -G.K.
