>>14039493Two methods - passive and active cooling.
>examples of passive cooling- radiators
- combinations of coatings and/or paint
- mission analysis (attitude and orbit)
- louvres
>examples of active cooling- thermoelectric devices (e.g. Peltier plates)
- heat pumps (e.g. Sterling engines)
- thernoacoustic pumps (used in JWST)
- heat exchanges (e.g. AC, as other anons have mentioned)
Thermal energy can be transported throughout the craft via the structure (conduction), radiatiative coupling between surfaces or actively, via heat pipes (conduction and convection).
