The Department of Aerospace Engineering at Texas A&M University is partnering with Canopy Aerospace to test next-generation materials.
The article from Newsweek discusses a new approach to managing heat in spacecraft, which could lead to more sustainable space travel. Researchers at the University of Virginia have developed a method using a "sweating" mechanism, inspired by the human body's cooling process, to regulate temperatures in spacecraft. This innovative technique involves a material that releases water vapor to cool down, similar to how humans sweat. The method not only helps in maintaining optimal temperatures but also reduces the reliance on heavy, energy-consuming cooling systems, thereby potentially decreasing the environmental impact of space missions. This could be a significant step towards greener and more efficient space exploration.
