"Revolutionary Engineering Team Tackles Heating and Cooling Challenges in Space Habitats"
An engineering team is developing a liquid-vapor heating and cooling system for space habitats, aiming to create a more efficient and lightweight solution. Currently being tested on the International Space Station, the system utilizes two-phase liquid-vapor flow, which transfers heat more effectively than traditional one-phase systems. The team is designing models that can operate under different levels of reduced gravity, as space vehicles and habitats experience microgravity, lunar gravity, or Martian gravity. If successful, this technology could be used to maintain comfortable temperatures in future space habitats on the Moon, Mars, and beyond.
