Comment by littlecranky67 6 months ago They address that issue in the link; The propose a 63m^2 radiator for heat dissipation. 2 comments littlecranky67 Reply weinzierl 6 months ago Sure it is doable. My point is that at room temperature convection is a so much more efficient heat transfer mechanism that I wonder why someone would even think about doing without it. yencabulator 6 months ago The comment at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44399181 says the ISS radiator is 42m^2. Radiating so much more at just 63m^2 seems hype-based.
