SP-400 Skylab, Our First Space Station

To cool Skylab and its systems, it was necessary to radiate heat to space. Panels were attached to the cylindrical portion of the airlock and docking adapter. Tubes, through which liquid coolant was circulated, were welded to the interior side of the skin. These radiating devices were effective.
