"Thermal radiation is generated when heat from the movement of charged particles within atoms is converted to electromagnetic radiation. Solar radiation heats the earth during the day, while at night the earth re-radiates some heat back into space." You compare this to an astronaut in a suit??? HOW CAN AN ASTRONAUT IN A SPACE SUIT IN THE BLAZING SUN RADIATE OFF HEAT?????? |
Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 526155 Canada 07/18/2009 02:19 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | LADIES AND GENTS: WILLIAM COOPER: [link to www.mt.net] NASA claims the spacesuits were cooled by a water system which was piped around the body, then through a system of coils sheltered from the sun in the backpack. NASA claims that water was sprayed on the coils causing a coating of ice to form. The ice then supposedly absorbed the tremendous heat collected in the water and evaporated into space. There are two problems with this that cannot be explained away. 1) The amount of water needed to be carried by the astronauts in order to make this work for even a very small length of time in the direct 55 degrees over the boiling point of water (210 degrees F at sea level on Earth) heat of the sun could not have possibly been carried by the astronauts. 2) NASA has since claimed that they found ice in moon craters. NASA claims that ice sheltered from the direct rays of the sun will NOT evaporate destroying their own bogus "air conditioning" explanation. Remember this. Think about it the next time you go off in the morning with a "vacuum bottle" filled with hot coffee. Think about it long and hard when you sit down and pour a piping hot cup from your thermos to drink with your lunch four hours later... and then think about it again when you pour the last still very warm cup of coffee at the end of the day. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 724960 Australia 07/18/2009 10:01 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Do they carry some water around, boil some of it, and then release the steam? That would let them get rid of heat. I read that on a thread around here somewhere. But isn't the temperature on the moon's surface in sunlight, above the temperature that water boils at sea level? So where do they get the cold water from? How long would it take to boil 12 pounds of water if you put it in a pot on a stove, at the same temperature as the moon's surface? |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 564424 United States 07/18/2009 10:44 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The unexplained cooling system is the smoking gun. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 727042It's not unexplained. It's just that most everyone is too damn lazy to find out about it. Including yourself apparently. The backpack they wear with the suit has water in it. Frozen due to the temperature. They use an ice sublimator which drops the pressure in the ice container. Causing the ice to turn directly into steam. Steam is ANY water in gaseous form, it does NOT need to be hot. That is circulated into a layer of the suit, then back out into the ice container where the coldness of space refreezes it. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 724960It's in shadow. I mean, really....look this stuff up. It is EASY to find out about the coolant loop on the A7L. And the math is easy-smeezy too; anyone who passed high school chem can work out from heat of vaporization how much cooling you can get from a pound of water. Here's first approximation for you, though. Suit is white and in a vacuum. Consider it isolated from environment; most of the heat input is from the astronaut inside. The problem is how to reject that metabolic heat. |

That's hot enough to make water boil at 1 atmosphere pressure. How is the water refreezing on the surface of the moon in daytime? Yes, the SURFACE was that hot. No atmosphere though, so that heat could only affect whatever was DIRECTLY touching the surface...during the daytime. Since only radiation remains as a method to transfer heat energy in a vacuum, just a properly colored coating would keep heat from the interior of objects...including the backpack. Why do you think practically everything that goes into space and contains a human is colored white? It's not just cause it looks cool. |

Think about it please. Your taking your experience on the Earth (has atmosphere), and trying to apply it to the Moon (virtually no atmosphere). Thinking about it yourself, instead of acting like a condescending dipshit who thinks they have won an argument. --------------------------------------------------------- [link to www.clavius.org] At high noon the average temperature of the lunar surface can reach that temperature. But that's not the same thing as saying it was 72 F (22 C) in Los Angeles today. The latter is air temperature. The temperature of various surfaces in Los Angeles might have been as high as 180 F (82 C). Air temperature has no meaning on the moon because there's no air. 280 F (138 C) may be the temperature of the lunar surface material at equilibrium in full sunlight, but it's not the temperature of any random object in a similar situation. Objects will be heated to that temperature only if they absorb the same amount of sunlight as lunar surface material, and also radiate it at the same rate. More reflective objects absorb less light and are heated less. Less reflective items may be heated even hotter. Air temperature is not the same thing as surface temperature. Just as on earth, the temperatures at morning and evening on the moon are lower than at noon. This is because the sun strikes the surface at a more acute angle and therefore isn't as intense. The lunar landing sites and times were chosen so that the astronauts would be working there in the early morning before the temperature had risen to its hottest. This reduced the surface temperature at those sites. The physics term for this phenomenon is "form factor for radiative heat transfer". Quite a mouthful. The meteorological term is "angle of insolation" and it's why we have seasons on earth. --------------------------------------------------------- |
