With temperatures on the moon ranging from minus 410 to a scorching 250 degrees Fahrenheit, it’s an understatement to say that humans will need habitats with heat and air conditioning to survive there ...

How do you think clouds form? What is condensation? Do you think the surface or way up in the sky is warmer? Can warm air or cold air hold more water? Experiment Steps: Pour about 2 or 3 inches of hot ...

A Purdue University experiment was sent to the International Space Station on Tuesday to collect data toward understanding how reduced gravity affects condensation. The experiment launched on Northrop ...

A group of engineers is testing an air conditioning system in space, seeing how two basic processes work in an environment with less gravity than Earth in order to design a system for future habitats ...

To live on the moon or Mars, humans will need heat and air conditioning that can operate long term in reduced gravity and temperatures hundreds of degrees above or below what we experience on Earth.

After a decade of work, Issam Mudawar will soon see the results of the largest phase change experiment ever conducted in space. WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — People who design spacecraft must prioritize two ...

From dew at dawn to a foggy mirror after a shower, condensation is part of our daily lives on Earth. In space, microgravity alters how heat flows through gases and liquids, a potential enemy for ...
