Justa_kid Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 I have several questions that need answering 1) can a complex circuit system still work in space? 2) if not how can I have one in space that will work? 3) will it still work in harsh environments of high heat or extreme cold 4) if not what would be a good insulator? *please answer these questions without any remarks that are off topic *i might also have questions to follow so do please answer them And yes I realize that this is the "Engineering" section
CaptainPanic Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 1) can a complex circuit system still work in space? Yes, although I am not sure if you need protection against radiation of the sun. 2) if not how can I have one in space that will work?3) will it still work in harsh environments of high heat or extreme cold Cold: Spacecraft often use a heating system and insulation. Just a fancy version of any heating. Heat: heat can be a problem for processors, which is why computers have a cooling fan (or multiple). In space, you need a radiator, and possibly a way to transport the heat to the radiator. In other words, you need a cooling liquid, just like the water cooling of some cars. 4) if not what would be a good insulator? Against heat, reflective materials are the best. Against cold, just a very fancy lightweight insulation. Not sure what those are called. *please answer these questions without any remarks that are off topic (There's really no need to write this - it's against forum regulations to be too much off topic). *i might also have questions to follow so do please answer them And yes I realize that this is the "Engineering" section
