Popular culture tells us that it’s very cold in space, but is that really true? on earth, most everyday objects cooldown by losing energy through conduction and convection. but in the vacuum of space, conduction and convection can’t happen, so the only way the international space station can lose heat is through radiation. exposure to rays from the sun, energy transfers from the machinery and the body heat from the astronauts themselves are continually heating up the space station, so how do they cool it down?
research the international space station and how its cooling system works.
how is waste heat removed from the space station? can you think of another way that this could be accomplished?
would you want to live and work aboard the international space station? why or why not?
what do you think would be the best thing about being on the international space station? what do you think would be the worst thing?

Asatellite that goes around the earth once every 24 hours iscalled a geosynchronous satellite. if a geosynchronoussatellite is in an equatorial orbit, its position appearsstationary with respect to a ground station, and it is known as ageostationary satellite find the radius rof the orbit of a geosynchronous satellite that circles the earth.(note that ris measured from the center of the earth, not the surface.) you mayuse the following constants: the universal gravitational constant g is 6.67 \times 10^{-11}\; {\rm n \; m^2 / kg^2}. the mass of the earth is 5.98 \times 10^{24}\; {\rm kg}. the radius of the earth is 6.38 \times 10^{6}\; {\rm m}.
