Space cooling is easier! 7 comments dzhiurgis Reply dgellow 1 month ago What makes cooling easier in space? Isn’t it harder due to the lack of atmosphere? dzhiurgis 1 month ago Just need radiators, no fans, no piping, no ac compressors, no moving parts. dgellow 1 month ago How? There is no heat dissipation without an atmosphere. I mean, you have dissipation via radiation but that’s very slow 3 replies → nickburns 1 month ago But, but—convection!
