Space is cold; but if something is hot in space, doesn’t it also need to, like… Push the heat away somehow? No air, no wind, heat just stays there. 🤷♂️
Yup, they can only dump heat through infrared radiation. The giant white fins on the ISS are radiators for waste heat.
I think there is another way to dump wase heat. Use it to warm up something that has a lot of heat capacity, and then eject that. Not practical and a huge waste (i also got this from science fiction), so you onow they are going to try it. Gonna suck for us groundies.
