Re: (meteorobs) Meteorites, Terminal Velocity, Temperatures etc.
Does anybody recall how cold Apollo 13 within the crew compartment got when
they had to shut down power to conserve their batteries? i recall hearing
once that the temperatures were near or at freezing of water. The sun didn't
really help heat them much. I think it would have gotten much colder if they
stayed aloft for a longer period. I also think they turned on their heaters
intermittently so they wouldn't freeze to death? I guess the eventual
interior of a spacecraft without heat could be somewhat similar to the
interior of a meteoroid? Very cold.
