is it sad being 14 and playing roblox

2019-04-21 22:11:12 UTC  
2019-04-21 22:11:22 UTC  

idk

2019-04-21 22:11:35 UTC  

im more interested int he temp of the cube satellite when the sun hits hit

2019-04-21 22:11:38 UTC  

hits it

2019-04-21 22:11:43 UTC  

@jeremy depends on how much thermal mass is there, and if it has radiators and whatnot

2019-04-21 22:11:49 UTC  

so like can i get a answer

2019-04-21 22:11:58 UTC  

when the sun hits it, it gets up to about 60 deg C or so

2019-04-21 22:12:01 UTC  

well has anyone sent up a cube sat to see what the temperature was

2019-04-21 22:12:06 UTC  

b/c only part of it is in teh sun

2019-04-21 22:12:15 UTC  

Yep our have temperature sensors on them at various places

2019-04-21 22:12:48 UTC  

if a human in the 6ft and theres arms are 3ft each about doesnt that make us symmetrical

2019-04-21 22:13:01 UTC  

so it goes from -450 fahrenhiet to +40 farenheit

2019-04-21 22:13:10 UTC  

wow

2019-04-21 22:13:17 UTC  

thats hot

2019-04-21 22:13:22 UTC  

thats hot

2019-04-21 22:13:27 UTC  

that is a massive temperature swing

2019-04-21 22:13:33 UTC  

(will smith memes insert)

2019-04-21 22:13:33 UTC  

whats this thing made of now ?

2019-04-21 22:13:59 UTC  

that's the environment

2019-04-21 22:14:02 UTC  

not the object itself

2019-04-21 22:14:04 UTC  

gotta be some amazing material to withstand that temperature swing

2019-04-21 22:14:09 UTC  

we get direct and indirect sunlight ofcourse the temperature changes

2019-04-21 22:14:14 UTC  

the object doesn't change temp that much

2019-04-21 22:14:17 UTC  

in different places

2019-04-21 22:14:53 UTC  

so ur saying sometimes its in -450 degree environment but the object doesnt get cold and when its plus 40 it doesnt get hot

2019-04-21 22:15:01 UTC  

when you cook a turkey does it get up to 350 F on the inside?

2019-04-21 22:15:03 UTC  

lmao

2019-04-21 22:15:30 UTC  

ok so what temp does the cube sat get

2019-04-21 22:15:38 UTC  

about 60 degC at the worst

2019-04-21 22:15:46 UTC  

and -10 deg C at the worst

2019-04-21 22:16:00 UTC  

it's always close to earth though so that is a source of warmth

2019-04-21 22:16:34 UTC  

so when the cube sat is it -260 c the cubesat only gets -10 ?

2019-04-21 22:16:42 UTC  

scratch that

2019-04-21 22:16:59 UTC  

the cubesat is in a -260c degree environment but only gets -10c ?

2019-04-21 22:17:42 UTC  

it's never in that environment

2019-04-21 22:17:47 UTC  

in low earth orbit it's not that cold

2019-04-21 22:17:56 UTC  

in deep space it woudl be taht cold, and they require heaters to stay warm enough

2019-04-21 22:18:04 UTC  

like the pluto new horizons craft

2019-04-21 22:18:06 UTC  

we have been talking about the environment of the cubesat this whole time

2019-04-21 22:18:48 UTC  

i thought you were talking about space
