The temperature would have to be regulated inside the module to make sure it is neither too hot nor too cold. Around the Earth and Moon, temperatures could reach 250&deg; F where the Sun shines to - 250&deg; F when there is no sunlight. Heat is generated inside the spacecraft by both the sunlight outside and by all the equipment operating inside. This heat must be removed by using a mechanically-pumped fluid to perform heat transfer. An insulation blanket around each module will protect it against the extreme temperature changes in space. ---- Answer provided by [[Robert T.

Return to 14. Will it be hot or cold inside the hotels? Will we be able to regulate the internal temperature? What makes the heat? Is it warm enough or should we bring extra blankets? (A K2S Question).
