Temperature in the space environment is a misunderstood concept. Because there is no air to conduct or convect heat, objects rely entirely on radiation. A satellite in direct sunlight can bake at over 120°C (250°F), while just inches away in the shadow, it can plummet to -150°C (-238°F). This creates massive "thermal gradients" that can warp metal and snap solder joints. Survival in space is a constant dance of shedding heat when in the sun and huddling around heaters in the dark. 4. The Human Element: Microgravity as an Environment

Beyond the protection of Earth’s atmosphere and magnetic field, space is a "shooting gallery" of subatomic particles. The space environment is saturated with two primary types of radiation: Temperature in the space environment is a misunderstood
